Hi,
I’ve been developing an HTTP driver where I need to build an HTTP GET request that provides a parameter named ‘liveId’.
According to the API documentation, that lived needs to be an array of IDs, as shown in the figure below:
The API documentation also mentions there are 2 ways of sending query data on a request:
- one using <request_url>?<query_parameter>=<parameter_value>
- another using <request_url> only, with a JSON body “{“<query_parameter>”:”<parameter_value>”}
According to DataMiner Dev Library, a GET request will always send the data inside <Data> as a query parameter and never as a request body:
I’ve tried multiple formats with postman to see if I can send the request with “liveId” as a query parameter, but I always get a Timeout.
The ONLY way I found it to work was with the JSON body, but that’s not something I can do in DataMiner.
Therefore, I would like to know whether there is a workaround that I can use, besides sending the raw HTTP request through a serial connection defined in the protocol?
If there isn’t really a workaround, what would be the standardized way of proceeding?
Do I use a Serial Connection and implement the HTTP standard myself or should I use a C# library to perform this specific request directly in the SLScripting?
Best Regards,
The documentation states “array of strings”. The example uses single quotes, did you try with double quotes?
Have you tried using a POST command instead? Typical usage is to use GET for URL-only requests and POST for requests containing a body.
I get status code ‘404 Not Found’ when sending as a POST request instead. It really needs to be a GET request
It works if we use double quotes.
But note that it only works if we remove the Content-Type and Content-Length, which makes sense, but I was forgetting to remove those.
