I am trying to write short script to do HTTP authentication using GET request
This makes GET request.
def try_login(u, p)
path1 = '/index.php'
path2 = '?uuser=#{myuser}&ppass=#{mypass}'
r = send_request_raw({
'URI' => "#{path1}#{path2}",
'method' => 'GET'
})
...continued...
But this code does not work because error says:
undefined local variable or method `myuser'
--> Basically I am trying to send one (1) GET request with login parameters, and the app responds with a specific data. And I do not know how to put placeholders for user and pass in this GET request.
...
Next, I am checking the HTTP response. Response comes in as JSON mime like this:
Success response
{"param1":1,"param2"="Auth Success","menu":0,"userdesc":"My User","user":"uuser","pass":"ppass","check":"success"}
Fail response
{"param1":-1,"param2"="Auth Fail","check":"fail"}
--> How can I check the response body for this kind of data.
I have been trying all day now, but stuck totally. Please advice.
Edit:
I do not understand why some one down voted this question saying little to no research on my part. Until before yesterday morning, I had absolutely zero idea about ruby code & working with it. And then I spent numerous hours looking at many different examples, making my script and testing it out. When it still didn't work, I asked my question here. Please, if you still want to down vote, do it but please, at least share some pointers to solve this as well.
def try_login(u, p)
path1 = '/index.php'
path2 = '?uuser=#{myuser}&ppass=#{mypass}'
r = send_request_raw({
'URI' => "#{path1}#{path2}",
'method' => 'GET'
})
...continued...
Should be:
def try_login(u, p)
path1 = '/index.php'
path2 = "?uuser=#{u}&ppass=#{p}"
r = send_request_raw({
'URI' => "#{path1}#{path2}",
'method' => 'GET'
})
...continued...
For parsing JSON in Ruby, I would recommend you take a look at this answer to another question.
Edit: The reason try_login(u, p) isn't working as you would expect is because Ruby does not do string interpolation for single quoted (') strings. Additionally, myuser and mypass do not appear to be the correct variables.

I am attempting to update the 'ip' parameter in a json object in an API.
I have the following case:
when "put"
uri = URI.parse("http://#{ip}:#{port}/api/v1/address_data/1.json")
jobj = Hash.new
jobj['ip'] = "1.1.1.1"
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.hostname, uri.port)
response = http.send_request('PUT', '/api/v1/address_data/1.json', data = jobj.to_s)
end
This does not work, but this does:
curl -X PUT http://ip:port/api/v1/address_data/1.json -d "ip=1.1.1.1"
How do I more accurately translate the curl into a Put request in Ruby? I have tried several methods I've found through google searching, but none of them have had successful results.
A few things:
You're not sending JSON in the Ruby example, it's a string representation of a Ruby hash which isn't the same. You need the JSON module or similar.
In the Ruby code you're attempting to send a JSON object (which would look like {"ip":"1.1.1.1"} and in the curl example you're sending it in application/x-www-form-urlencoded format, so they're currently not equivalent.
Also I'd look at the type of data the server expects from your requests: both Ruby and curl send a request header of Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded by default, and you're expecting to send JSON. This is why the curl example works: the data format you're using and the header matches. Note the .json in the URL shouldn't really make any difference; the header takes precedence.
Your call to send_request has you picking out the data parameter as a Python-style keyword argument. Ruby doesn't do that: what you're actually doing there is assigning a local variable in-line with the call.
So try something like this:
require 'json' # put this at the top of the file
uri = URI.parse("http://#{ip}:#{port}/api/v1/address_data/1.json")
jobj = {"ip" => "1.1.1.1"}
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.hostname, uri.port)
response = http.send_request('PUT', uri.path, JSON.dump(jobj),
{'Content-Type' => 'application/json'})
And just a friendly reminder, saying something "doesn't work" doesn't usually give enough information to people that might answer your question: try and remember to paste in error messages, stack traces, and things like that :)
I am building an API wrapper and am writing some tests for it and I have a couple of questions.
1) How do I write an assert for calls where data doesn't exist? For example, looking up a member by id using the API but the user won't exist yet.
2) How do I write an assert for testing PUT and DELETE requests?
I already have a grasp on testing GET and POST requests just not sure on the other 2 verbs.
For your question part 1...
You have a couple choices for data that doesn't exist:
You can create the data ahead of time, for example by using a test seed file, or a fixture, or a factory. I like this choice for larger projects with more sophisticated data arrangements. I also like this choice for getting things working first because it's more straightfoward to see the data.
You can create a test double, such as a stub method or fake object. I like this choice for fastest test performance and best isolation. For fastest tests, I intercept calls as early as possible. The tradeoff is that I'm not doing end-to-end testing.
For your question part 2...
You should edit your question to show your actual code; this will help people here answer you.
Is your VCR code is something like this?
VCR.use_cassette('test_unit_example') do
response = Net::HTTP.get_response('localhost', '/', 7777)
assert_equal "Hello", response.body
end
If so, you change the HTTP get to put, something like this:
uri = URI.parse(...whatever you want...)
json = "...whatever you want..."
req = Net::HTTP::Put.new(uri)
req["content-type"] = "application/json"
req.body = json
request(req)
Same for HTTP delete:
Net::HTTP::Delete.new(uri)
A good blog post is the http://www.rubyinside.com/nethttp-cheat-sheet-2940.html>Net::HTTP cheat sheet excerpted here:
# Basic REST.
# Most REST APIs will set semantic values in response.body and response.code.
require "net/http"
http = Net::HTTP.new("api.restsite.com")
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new("/users")
request.set_form_data({"users[login]" => "quentin"})
response = http.request(request)
# Use nokogiri, hpricot, etc to parse response.body.
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new("/users/1")
response = http.request(request)
# As with POST, the data is in response.body.
request = Net::HTTP::Put.new("/users/1")
request.set_form_data({"users[login]" => "changed"})
response = http.request(request)
request = Net::HTTP::Delete.new("/users/1")
response = http.request(request)
in order to retrieve the contents of a folder I have to use the following url
https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?q='root'
so I thought it should be working by passing an additional parameter
#client.execute(
:api_method => #drive.files.list ,
:parameters =>{q=> "title='root'" })
But this does not work
An error occurred: {"errors"=>[{"domain"=>"global", "reason"=>"invalid", "message"=>"Invalid Value", "locationType"=>"parameter", "location"=>"q"}], "code"=>400, "message"=>"Invalid Value"}
This is pretty obvious when I see the request uri
https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?q=title%253D%27levelA%27
My first attempt was to user URI.encode "title='root'" which does not work neither.
I really dont know how I could keep the single quotes ?
Best,
Philip
p.s.: a link to the mentioned gem http://rubydoc.info/github/google/google-api-ruby-client/frames
ok, now I found a working solution, even though it is a very cumbersome one.
search = CGI.escape("q='root'")
u.query = search
u= Addressable::URI.parse "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files"
req=Google::APIClient::Request.new(:uri=> u)
client.execute req
I hope this helps someone..
I need some help in doing this: I have to build the following URL in order to perform a query aganst an Apache Solr instance:
http://localhost:8080/solr/select?q=*%3A*&fq=deal_discount%3A[20+TO+*]&fq=deal_price%3A[*+TO+100]&fq={!geofilt+pt%3D45.6574%2C9.9627+sfield%3Dlocation_latlng+d%3D600}
As you can see, the URL contains 3 times the parameter named "fq". What I'm just wondering is how to use the URI.parse() method if I need to pass three times the parameter "fq" within the Hash that is the second argument of the parse() method.
Here's a simple snippet:
path = 'http://localhost:8080/solr/select'
pars = { 'fq' => 'deal_price [* TO 100]', 'fq' => '{!geofilt pt=45.6574,9.9627 sfield=location_latlng d=600}' } # This is obviously wrong!
res = Net::HTTP::post_form( URI.parse(path), pars )
The solution would be passing the full URL as a String, but I cannot find a method that provide this kind of signature.
Could you please post a simple solution to my problem? Thanks in Advance.
Thaks for your help. Yes, you're right... A get method was what I need. Anyway I had to make a little change to your code because Net:HTTP.get() threw an exception "Unknown method hostname"
uri = URI(solrUrl)
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri)
res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port) {|http|
http.request(req)
}
This solved my problem. Thanks indeed.
Your URL suggest that you should use HTTP GET to query solr while your snippet uses POST so that is one thing to change. But I think your main problem is with the parameters, a Hash may only contain one entry for a key so you can't use a Hash in this case. One easy way is to construct the URL by hand.
params_array = ['deal_price [* TO 100]',
'{!geofilt pt=45.6574,9.9627 sfield=location_latlng d=600}']
base_url = "http://localhost:8080/solr/select"
query_string = "?fq=#{params_array.join('&fq=')}"
url = base_url + query_string
result = Net::HTTP.get url
A bit compact maybe - a more readable version may be (according to taste):
params_array = ['deal_price [* TO 100]',
'{!geofilt pt=45.6574,9.9627 sfield=location_latlng d=600}']
url = "http://localhost:8080/solr/select&"
params_array.each do |param|
url << "&fq=#{param}"
end
result = Net::HTTP.get url
I have been trying to write a script that may help me to comment from command line.(The sole reason why I want to do this is its vacation time here and I want to kill time).
I often visit and post on this site.So I am starting with this site only.
For example to comment on this post I used the following script
require "uri"
require 'net/http'
def comment()
response = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse("http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-comments-post.php"),{'author'=>"pikachu",'email'=>"saurabh8c#gmail.com",'url'=>"geekinessthecoolway.blogspot.com",'submit'=>"Have Your Say",'comment_post_ID'=>"18215",'comment_parent'=>"0",'akismet_comment_nonce'=>"70e83407c8",'bb2_screener_'=>"1330701851 117.199.148.101",'comment'=>"How can we generalize this for a n-ary tree?"})
return response.body
end
puts comment()
Obviously the values were not hardcoded but for sake of clearity and maintaining the objective of the post i am hardcoding them.
Beside the regular fields that appear on the form,the values for the hidden fields i found out from wireshark when i posted a comment the normal way.I can't figure out what I am missing?May be some js event?
Edit:
As few people suggested using mechanize I switched to python.Now my updated code looks like:
import sys
import mechanize
uri = "http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/"
request = mechanize.Request(mechanize.urljoin(uri, "archives/18215"))
response = mechanize.urlopen(request)
forms = mechanize.ParseResponse(response, backwards_compat=False)
response.close()
form=forms[0]
print form
control = form.find_control("comment")
#control=form.find_control("bb2_screener")
print control.disabled
# ...or readonly
print control.readonly
# readonly and disabled attributes can be assigned to
#control.disabled = False
form.set_all_readonly(False)
form["author"]="Bulbasaur"
form["email"]="ashKetchup#gmail.com"
form["url"]="9gag.com"
form["comment"]="Y u no put a captcha?"
form["submit"]="Have Your Say"
form["comment_post_ID"]="18215"
form["comment_parent"]="0"
form["akismet_comment_nonce"]="d48e588090"
#form["bb2_screener_"]="1330787192 117.199.144.174"
request2 = form.click()
print request2
try:
response2 = mechanize.urlopen(request2)
except mechanize.HTTPError, response2:
pass
# headers
for name, value in response2.info().items():
if name != "date":
print "%s: %s" % (name.title(), value)
print response2.read() # body
response2.close()
Now the server returns me this.On going through the html code of the original page i found out there is one more field bb2_screener that i need to fill if I want to pretend like a browser to the server.But the problem is the field is not written inside the tag so mechanize won't treat it as a field.
Assuming you have all the params correct, you're still missing the session information that the site stores in a cookie. Consider using something like mechanize, that'll deal with the cookies for you. It's also more natural in that you tell it which fields to fill in with which data. If that still doesn't work, you can always use a jackhammer like selenium, but then technically you're using a browser.
