How do I convert a curl command with output option to httparty? - ruby

Question

I am trying to convert this:
curl -k -v -X GET -H "Accept: application/pdf" https://username:password#rest.click2mail.com/v1/mailingBuilders/456/proofs/1 -o myProof
for httparty. Here's my code:
#auth = {:username => 'test', :password => 'test'}
options = {:headers => {'Accept' => 'application/pdf'}, :basic_auth => #auth }
body = HTTMultiParty.get("https://stage.rest.click2mail.com/v1/mailingBuilders/54544/proofs/1", options)
File.open("myProof", "w") do |file|
file.write body
end
p "Reponse #{body.parsed_response}"
the response returns
"Cannot convert urn:c2m:document:id:361 from text/plain to application/pdf"
Edit (2)
body.inspect with "text/plain" returns
#<HTTParty::Response:0x8 #parsed_response=nil, #response=#<Net::HTTPNotAcceptable 406 Not Acceptable readbody=true>, #headers={\"date\"=>[\"Sun, 06 May 2012 11:22:12 GMT\"], \"server\"=>[\"Jetty(6.1.x)\"], \"content-length\"=>[\"0\"], \"connection\"=>[\"close\"], \"content-type\"=>[\"text/plain; charset=UTF-8\"]}>
with "application/pdf"
#<HTTParty::Response:0x7fce08a92260 #parsed_response=\"Cannot convert urn:c2m:document:id:361 from text/plain to application/pdf\", #response=#<Net::HTTPBadRequest 400 Bad Request readbody=true>, #headers={\"date\"=>[\"Sun, 06 May 2012 11:24:09 GMT\"], \"server\"=>[\"Jetty(6.1.x)\"], \"content-type\"=>[\"application/pdf\"], \"connection\"=>[\"close\"], \"transfer-encoding\"=>[\"chunked\"]}>

Well i found a solution with Rest Client and I did my modest contribution with this gem.

Thanks Every body

Answer 1

You can also use net::http (require 'net/http')
See this question for an example how to download large files.

Answer 2

Try this:
body = Httparty.get("https://username:password#rest.click2mail.com/v1/mailingBuilders/456/proofs/1")
File.open("myProof", "w") do |file|
file.write body
end

The problem is with the API it's self.
It has nothing to do with how you are calling the API to get the proof or what Rest API library you are using. The problem is whatever you used to create this mailingBuilders is causing a problem which is resulting in the error message "Cannot convert urn:c2m:document:id:361 from text/plain to application/pdf".
Please send support#click2mail.com exactly what you have done to create this mailingBuilder so we can review it and see what the problem is.
