First off, I'm using an older version of Restlet (1.1).
Secondly, I'm not sure I'm doing the correct thing. Here's what I'm trying to do...
I'm creating a reporting service (resource). I'd like my service to listen for POST requests. The body of the request will contain the report definition. I'd like the response to be the CSV file generated by the service (the report). Is responding to a POST request in this manner OK from a REST standpoint (if not, then how to refine this resource)?
I can't seem to figure out how the acceptRepresentation() generates the response. I've tried setting the Representation parameter passed into the method to a new FileRepresentation. I've also tried to utilize the represent() method, but it doesn't seem like that method is called as part of the POST processing.
How can I accomplish this seeming easy task?
Calling the getResponse().setEntity() method from acceptRepresentation() will accept the new FileRepresentation and accomplish what I'd like to.

I'm trying to make an query on the internet game database (IGDB) Api using retrofit. In the past, when I used other Api, such as the movie database (TMDB), the api-keys were always passed in as a query, so the interface would look something like this.
#GET("/3/movie/popular")
Call<MovieResults> getPopularMovie(
#Query("api_key") String apiKey,
#Query("language") String language,
#Query("page") int page
);
But with IGDB, I think they want me to pass in the api-key as a Header (I'm not 100% sure, please correct me if I'm wrong). I've never passed an api-key through a header before, so with some guesswork, following is what my interface looks like.
#Headers({
"Accept: application/json",
"user-key: b5bd50####################8b2"
})
#GET("/games")
Call<List<Game>> getGame();
Problem is, when I make the call, although the call ends up in onResponse, the response.body is always null.
So, I ran the code in de-bug mode, and i found this message:
response = Response{protocol=http/1.1, code=401, message=Unauthorized, url=http://v2000.igdb.com/games/}
I don't know what this means, but I am guessing that it isn't recognizing an authorised api-key?
Another interesting anomaly is that, the base url I pass in is:
"https://api-2445582011268.apicast.io/"
I don't know how that ended up being:
http://v2000.igdb.com/
If anyone have any experience with IGDB, please give me some help, will really appreciate it.
I have used this api with JAVA and i can confirm that you should send the API key in the header, so what you have done looks to be correct.
The base url you are getting is also wrong, try using https://api-endpoint.igdb.com/, it is the recommended url.
I can also recommend you to try the api using Postman, it is an excellent tool for testing.
If you are using java you might want to try their java wrapper
I use bootstrap translation framework (Git : https://forums.adobe.com/external-link.jspa?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FAdobe-Marketing-Cloud%2Faem-translation-framework-bootstrap-connector%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2Fbundle%2Fsrc%2Fmain%2Fjava%2Fcom%2Fadobe%2Fgranite%2Ftranslation%2Fconnector%2Fbootstrap%2Fcore%2Fimpl%2FBootstrapTranslationServiceImpl.java) : I use this method uploadTranslationObject for posting to my server and one request is completed.
I just have a small doubt like i use human translation the response will be coming after some X delay time.Now i am wondering how do i get the response once the translated response is ready from my server??
I have the logic of returning the translated xml on my server but question is how do i return it?? I mean where should my server post on some api or will ame keeps constantly looking for the response?
Can someone please let me know with a small code or a existing method? I need to find in which method of the code will the response from server will be handled ??
Thanks In Advance.
You will have to monitor the status of the Documents(TranslationObjects). When you upload the TO for translation via uploadTranslationObject() change the status of the TO to 'SUBMITTED' or 'TRANSLATION_IN_PROGRESS'.
Then in the getTranslationObjectStatus() you will make request to your server to know if the TO are translated or not. If the TO is translated then you can change the status of the TO to 'TRANSLATED'. The method getTranslationObjectStatus() will return TranslationStatus as TRANSLATED, this will invoke getTranslatedObject() where you will download the translated TO and return it as InputStream.
Note: getTranslationObjectStatus() and other status update helper methods will be called when you refresh the TranslationJob Page.
I'm using java-play 2.2.1.
I created JS code that send AJAX GET request with a url address that doesn't exist in the conf/routes file. It would be complicated to describe why i don't want to declare this URL at the routes file, so just take it as fact :) .
I catch this request by overriding OnRouteRequest
function (by creating Global object..), and i pull the get params from the request query string (because it's a GET request) and create an object (hashtable) i want to return to the AJAX code at the client-side. Unfortunately, OnRouteRequest function returns Handler.
I'm really desperate right now from this issue, if anyone has any idea how can i do it, it would be really great. Even if anyone knows how to redirect from OnRouteRequest to another action which will return after to the AJAX it would be great. Thanks !
I need to write a HTTP client which to communicate with Floodlight OpenFlow controller via its REST API.
For testing I did it in python, and it worked OK. But now I'm in a situation where it has to be done in Java, of which I'm admittedly still at the beginner's level. One of my apps uses AsyncHttpClient to dispatch async GET requests, and works just fine. Now as a Floodlight's REST client, it has to do POST and DELETE with JSON encoded body. My code for an async POST request works very much as expected.
But no luck with DELETE.
Somehow it doesn't write JSON string into its request body.
The code is almost identical with POST. For debugging, I don't feed an AsyncCompletionHandler instance to execute() method.
System.out.println(ofEntry.toJson()); // this returns {"name": "xyz"} as expected.
Future<Response> f = httpClient.prepareRequest(new RequestBuilder("DELETE")
.setUrl("http://" + myControllerBaseUrl + urlPathFlowPostDelete)
.setHeader("content-type", "application/json")
.setBody(ofEntry.toJson())
.build()).execute();
System.out.println(f.getStatusCode()); // returns 200.
System.out.println(f.getResponseBody()); // returns {"status" : "Error! No data posted."}.
Just to make sure, I peeped into packet dump with wireshark, and found out the server isn't lying :)
The author of the library has written an extensive amount of relevant, valuable information, but unfortunately I can't find example code specifically for building a DELETE request.
I'd very much appreciate any suggestions, pointers, and of course pinpoint solutions!
Not sure that replying to my own question is appropriate here, but I have just found a related thread at the floodlight-dev Google group.
Problem with Static Flow Pusher DELETE REST method
So this could be a problem with Floodlight REST API which requires message body for a DELETE request to identify what to be deleted, whereas AHC is simply compliant with RFC2616.
I will follow the thread at Google group, and see how it will conclude among developers.
All,
I'm trying to find out, unambiguously, what method (GET or POST) Flash/AS2 uses with XML.sendAndLoad.
Here's what the help/docs (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00002340.html) say about the function
Encodes the specified XML object into
an XML document, sends it to the
specified URL using the POST method,
downloads the server's response, and
loads it into the resultXMLobject
specified in the parameters.
However, I'm using this method to send XML data to a Java Servlet developed and maintained by another team of developers. And they're seeing log entries that look like this:
GET /portal/delegate/[someService]?svc=setPayCheckInfo&XMLStr=[an encoded version of the XML I send]
After a Google search to figure out why the POST shows up as a GET in their log, I found this Adobe technote (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/159/tn_15908.html). Here's what it says:
When loadVariables or getURL actions are
used to send data to Java servlets it
can appear that the data is being sent
using a GET request, when the POST
method was specified in the Flash
movie.
This happens because Flash sends the
data in a GET/POST hybrid format. If
the data were being sent using a GET
request, the variables would appear in
a query string appended to the end of
the URL. Flash uses a GET server
request, but the Name/Value pairs
containing the variables are sent in a
second transmission using POST.
Although this causes the servlet to
trigger the doGet() method, the
variables are still available in the
server request.
I don't really understand that. What is a "GET/POST hybrid format"?
Why does the method Flash uses (POST or GET) depend on whether the data is sent to a Java servlet or elsewhere (e.g., a PHP page?)
Can anyone make sense of this? Many thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Matt
Have you try doing something like that :
var sendVar=new LoadVars();
var xml=new XML("<r>test</r>");
sendVar.xml=xml;
sendVar.svc="setPayCheckInfo";
var receiveXML=new XML();
function onLoad(success) {
if (success) {
trace("receive:"+receiveXML);
} else {
trace('error');
}
}
receiveXML.onLoad=onLoad;
sendVar.sendAndLoad("http://mywebserver", receiveXML, "POST");
The hybrid format is just a term Macromedia invented to paint over its misuse of HTTP.
HTTP is very vague on what you can do with GET and POST. But the convention is that no message body is used in GET. Adobe violates this convention by sending parameters in the message body.
Flash sends the same request regardless of the server. You have problem in Servlet because most implementation (like Tomcat) ignores message body for GET. PHP doesn't care the verb and it processes the message body for GET too.
