I have the following Method:
http_client=Net::HTTP.new(#uri.host,#uri.port)
request=Net::HTTP::Post.new(#uri.request_uri)
request.set_form_data(params)
request.basic_auth(#user,#pass)
result = http_client.request(request)
#
# !!! .content_type does not exist !!!
#
result=case result.content_type
when "application/json" JSON.parse(result,{:symbolize_names => true})
when "application/xml" XMLHELPER.parse(result)
end
result
So how to determine the content-type that was sent by the server?
You're getting a NoMethodError from calling result.content_type because you've assigned result to the response body, which is a string.
[...]
response = client.request(request)
result = case response.content_type
when "application/json" JSON.parse(response.body, {:symbolize_names => true})
when "application/xml" XMLHELPER.parse(response.body)
end

I am writing a code that send http post request. Now I write xml body in my code, and its working correctly.
But if I want to send request using xml file I get
undefined method `bytesize' for #
Did you mean? bytes
My code below
require 'net/http'
request_body = <<EOF
<xml_expamle>
EOF
uri = URI.parse('http://example')
post = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.path, 'content-type' => 'text/xml; charset=UTF-8')
post.basic_auth 'user','passcode'
Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port).start {|http|
http.request(post, request_body) {|response|
puts response.body
}
}
**But if I want to make send file**
require 'net/http'
request_body = File.open('example/file.xml')
uri = URI.parse('http://example')
post = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.path, 'content-type' => 'application/xml; charset=UTF-8')
post.basic_auth 'user','passcode'
Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port).start {|http|
http.request(post, request_body) {|response|
puts response.body
}
}
I get
undefined method `bytesize' for #
Did you mean? bytes
You need to load the file content to memory if you want to use it as a request body, use #read method:
request_body = File.open('example/file.xml').read
and it'll work.
So here's the request using curl:
curl -XPOST -H content-type:application/json -d "{\"credentials\":{\"username\":\"username\",\"key\":\"key\"}}" https://auth.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.1/auth
I've been trying to make this same request using ruby, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I tried a couple of libraries also, but I can't get it to work.
Here's what I have so far:
uri = URI.parse("https://auth.api.rackspacecloud.com")
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new("/v1.1/auth")
request.set_form_data({'credentials' => {'username' => 'username', 'key' => 'key'}})
response = http.request(request)
I get a 415 unsupported media type error.
You are close, but not quite there. Try something like this instead:
uri = URI.parse("https://auth.api.rackspacecloud.com")
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new("/v1.1/auth")
request.add_field('Content-Type', 'application/json')
request.body = {'credentials' => {'username' => 'username', 'key' => 'key'}}.to_json
response = http.request(request)
This will set the Content-Type header as well as post the JSON in the body, rather than in the form data as your code had it. With the sample credentials, it still fails, but I suspect it should work with real data in there.
There's a very good explanation of how to make a JSON POST request with Net::HTTP at this link.
I would recommend using a library like HTTParty. It's well-documented, you can just set up your class like so:
class RackSpaceClient
include HTTParty
base_uri "https://auth.api.rackspacecloud.com/"
format :json
headers 'Accept' => 'application/json'
#methods to do whatever
end
It looks like the main difference between the Ruby code you placed there, and the curl request, is that the curl request is POSTing JSON (content-type application/json) to the endpoint, whereas request.set_form_data is going to send a form in the body of the POST request (content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded). You have to make sure the content going both ways is of type application/json.
All others are too long here is a ONE LINER:
Net::HTTP.start('auth.api.rackspacecloud.com', :use_ssl => true).post(
'/v1.1/auth', {:credentials => {:username => "username",:key => "key"}}.to_json,
initheader={'Content-Type' => 'application/json'}
)
* to_json needs require 'json'
OR if you want to
NOT verify the hosts
be more readable
ensure the connection is closed once you're done
then:
ssl_opts={:use_ssl => true, :verify_mode => OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE}
Net::HTTP.start('auth.api.rackspacecloud.com', ssl_opts) { |secure_connection|
secure_connection.post(
'/v1.1/auth', {:credentials => {:username => "username",:key => "key"}}.to_json,
initheader={'Content-Type' => 'application/json'}
)
}
In case it's tough to remember what params go where:
SSL options are per connection so you specify them while opening the connection.
You can reuse the connection for multiple REST calls to same base url. Think of thread safety of course.
Header is a "request header" and hence specified per request. I.e. in calls to get/post/patch/....
HTTP.start(): Creates a new Net::HTTP object, then additionally opens the TCP connection and HTTP session.
HTTP.new(): Creates a new Net::HTTP object without opening a TCP connection or HTTP session.
Another example:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'net/http'
require 'json'
require 'uri'
full_url = "http://" + options[:artifactory_url] + "/" + "api/build/promote/" + options[:build]
puts "Artifactory url: #{full_url}"
data = {
status: "staged",
comment: "Tested on all target platforms.",
ciUser: "builder",
#timestamp: "ISO8601",
dryRun: false,
targetRepo: "#{options[:target]}",
copy: true,
artifacts: true,
dependencies: false,
failFast: true,
}
uri = URI.parse(full_url)
headers = {'Content-Type' => "application/json", 'Accept-Encoding'=> "gzip,deflate",'Accept' => "application/json" }
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.request_uri, headers)
request.basic_auth(options[:user], options[:password])
request.body = data.to_json
response = http.request(request)
puts response.code
puts response.body
I'm trying to make a POST request with basic oauth and a body param.
response = Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port, use_ssl: true) do |http|
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri)
request['Authorization'] = 'ACCESS_CODE'
request.body = {
to: to,
subject: subject,
text: text,
api_type: 'json',
uh: #modhash
}.to_json
http.request(request)
end
It returns a
<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>
so I know the oauth is working but the body param is not getting passed into the request because it is returning this error
[".error.NO_USER.field-to"]], ["please enter a username"]]
I checked all the data values in the body hash and none of them are null.
Use the set_form_data method to set your POST body:
Here is an example from the docs:
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri)
request.set_form_data('from' => '2005-01-01', 'to' => '2005-03-31')
What is wrong with the following request?
request = Typhoeus::Request.new("http://fluidsurveys.com/api/v2/groups",
method: :get,
userpwd: "test_user:test_password",
headers: { 'ContentType' => "application/json"})
response = request.body
puts response
This returns undefined method body for #<Typhoeus::Request:0x007f8e50d3b1d0> (NoMethodError)
The following request works fine with httparty:
call= "/api/v2/groups/"
auth = {:username => "test_user", :password => "test_password"}
url = HTTParty.get("http://fluidsurveys.com/api/v2/groups",
:basic_auth => auth,
:headers => { 'ContentType' => 'application/json' } )
response = url.body
puts response
EDIT:
I tried this:
response = request.response
puts response.body
with no luck. I receive this : undefined method body for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
From https://github.com/typhoeus/typhoeus
You need to do the get before the response body is available.
EDIT: Here is an operable solution. It doesn't use your website, which I couldn't access even manually. But, this returns response code 200 and the response_body. Running this in my debugger showed the complete response, which you could see using "puts response.inspect".
class TyphoeusTry
require 'typhoeus'
request = Typhoeus::Request.new("http://www.google.com",
method: :get,
userpwd: "test_user:test_password",
headers: { ContentType: "application/json"})
response = request.run
puts response.response_body
end
The problem is that you didn't actually execute your request. The following code should work.
request = Typhoeus::Request.new("http://fluidsurveys.com/api/v2/groups",
method: :get,
userpwd: "test_user:test_password",
headers: { 'ContentType' => "application/json"})
request.run
response = request.response
response_code = response.code
response_body = response.body
