JSP handshake failure with REST endpoint - rest

I am creating a web API that returns JSON. Currently I am able to call the endpoint with jquery and php curl but I am not able to do so using JSP HttpsURLConnection.
It gives me a handshake_failure exception. Is there anyway that this can be solved without having to install a file in the jsp server ? I am doing a REST service so it doesn't make sense for all my users to install a file to call it.
Will this also affect the calling ?

How do I resolve RESTEASY002186 so my Wildfly 26 web application can use SSE over https?

I have a web application running on Wildfly 26 that uses SSE broadcasting and works correctly with http. However, when I switch to using an https endpoint, I get Wildfly log entries of:
WARN [org.jboss.resteasy.resteasy_jaxrs.i18n] (default task-1)
RESTEASY002186: Failed to set servlet request into asynchronous mode,
server sent events may not work
This happens with each registration attempt of the https endpoint but I never see this when registering with the http endpoint.
Testing with curl against the http endpoint results in curl waiting for events to show up (and keeps printing them out as it receives them) until I quit. Using curl to test the https endpoint, I will see the same headers I got from the http endpoint, namely:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: keep-alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/event-stream
But after printing out my registration successful event, curl seems to believe the stream is closed and exits -- giving me my command prompt back.
My #GET MediaType.SERVER_SENT_EVENTS registration endpoint will create an OutboundSseEvent and send it to the SseEventSink to acknowledge successful registration to my SseBroadcaster instance (this is the event curl sees and prints before exiting). I then log a registration successful message before exiting the method. All of this appears to work correctly for both http and https but the stream doesn't stay open once the request endpoint completes because of the failure to run asynchronously as outlined above.
I have not found information on the causes and/or workaround solutions for my RESTEASY002186 problem. I posted a question on this issue last week using the Wildfly Google Group (https://groups.google.com/g/wildfly/c/SO2eHdvMEko) but thought I would try a wider audience since this doesn't seem to be a commonly experienced condition. I don't see any indications during initialization that WildFly will be unable to use asynchronous mode, it just complains when it tries and fails... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit 6/6/2022
The code is running on an isolated network so I can't just cut/paste the code here, but I gutted the resources file to a bare minimum -- just leaving enough for the client to be able to register. The problem remains unchanged. The code is now essentially:
#Path("sse")
public class SseResources {
#GET
#Produces(MediaType.SERVER_SENT_EVENTS)
public void listen(#Context Sse sse, #Context SseEventSink sseEventSink) {
SseRegComplete regComplete = new SseRegComplete("sse-server");
OutboundSseEvent event = sse.newEventBuilder().
name(regComplete.getType().toString()).
id(regComplete.getEventId()).
mediaType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE).
data(SseRegComplete.class, regComplete).
comment("Event Stream Registration Completed Successfully").
build();
sseEventSink.send(event);
}
}
Before the above simplified code, I had declared the resource as #ApplicationScoped, had Sse injected into it, and kept a reference to the SseBroadcaster so I could use it whenever an event would come in. I was catching the events to broadcast by using an #Observes method (which I also got rid of). I was calling register(sseEventSink) on the SseBroadcaster in the listen method so I could later call broadcast(outboundEvent) whenever I had updates to publish. I got rid of all that just to see if I could get the stream to stay open but to no avail. I still get the RESTEASY002186 message and curl still exits after printing out the regComplete event sent to it in the code above.
Edit 6/7/2022
Yesterday I was able to get my code working in a new vanilla Wildfly 26 install using an https endpoint URL by following these configuration instructions. Something I hadn't mentioned in the original post is that I am trying to add SSE functionality to an already existing app. It is several years old and we actually moved to Wildfly 26 about 6 months ago because of the log4j vulnerability in the earlier version of Wildfly we were using. I suspect that the problem is related to either our Wildfly configuration (perhaps because old settings were brought over that shouldn't have been) or some 3rd party dependency that is preventing Wildfly from using asynchronous mode.
We are using Shiro for authentication and authorization against an LDAP server -- perhaps Shiro has some hooks into the Wildfly runtime that are causing issues? After initial login, we use a session cookie in all subsequent calls. That is a difference from my test server but I don't think it is relevant because the call definitely passed authentication before executing the registration code. The only other thing that comes to mind right now is our web app ships with LogBack and tells Wildfly not to use the default logging framework.
I plan to start today by comparing the two standalone.xml files to see if anything jumps out at me as being fundamentally different. Is there anything else I should be checking for differences (I think there is a domain.xml file somewhere...)?
Edit 6/14/2022
This definitely has something to do with Shiro being in the loop. When I edit the web.xml file to have Shiro's filter-mapping url-pattern to not include the SSE endpoint, everything works as expected.

What's the problem with Delphi Rest Client components

I'm trying to consume a simple API just for test, but it doesn't work using Delphi Rest Clients components.
Call to API works using browser and Postman without any configuration. The URL is https://api.cartolafc.globo.com/mercado/status
First I've tried use the tool "Rest Debugger" and it returns nothing.
So I tried to use the trio of REST CLIENT components by doing the following steps:
Created a new project;
Added TRestClient, TRestRequest and TRestResponse components;
Configured BaseURL from TRestClient as "https://api.cartolafc.globo.com/mercado/status"
Clicked the right mouse button on the TRESTRequest component
Hit Execute... command
It returns the following error:
Error receiving data: (12152) the server returned an invalid or unrecognized response
Did I do something wrong?

Identify reasons for 500 errors Google auth

We have an api deployed on Azure that uses Google authentication. Over the weekend, the API started to throw 500 errors that were resolved after restarting the API. Is there a way to identify what the underlying cause for these errors might be?
Check if you have custom error mode in web.config file to “on” or “Remoteonly”. If
yes then turn it off. Add the following line to System.web element in web.config
Enable custom logging/instrumentation in the code which can help you in more
information.
ASP.NET applications can use the System.Diagnostics.Trace class to log information to
the application diagnostics log. For example
System.Diagnostics.Trace.TraceError("If you're seeing this, something bad happened");
Enable Detailed Error Messages - Detailed version of the html files produced when
your website responds with an error message. This is good to enable for debugging
some error responses in your website. It is stored in the website's file system.
Web Server Logging - Also known as HTTP logs or IIS logs, this will log all requests
to your website in W3C Extended Log File Format.
Failed Request Tracing - Also known as FREB, here you can get lots of information
from IIS through its different stacks for each failing request.

How to create HelloWorld Zend Soap Server & Client over SSL using Self Signed Certificate

I am trying to create a basic SOAP Server over SSL. Before making Web Services available on my Production website, I have to test it on Development system with has got Self Signed Certificate (Whose authentication is a problem right now). Following are the problems I am facing in that regard:
When I try to call https://zendsoap.lan/Zend_Soap_server.php?wsdl
its works fine I can view the wsdl.
But when I try https://zendsoap.lan/Zend_Soap_server.php, I get
this:
SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from
'https://zendsoap.lan/Zend_Soap_Server.php?wsdl' : failed to load
external entity "https://zendsoap.lan/Zend_Soap_Server.php?wsdl"
Is that something I should be getting or Some nice looking HTML page
describing the usage of webservice like in NuSoap.
I tried verify_peer=>false as I am running it on dev server so no need to verify my own created certificate, but obviously on production I want the Certificate to be verified.
This thing work fine with NuSoap but most of the stuff in NuSoap is deprecated for our server which is running PHP 5.4.6, So the most reliable solution for me using PHP's SOAP extension. And the reason for me using Zend is we're in process of moving our system from some third party framework to Zend Framework and everyday I get requests from client to add this & that new components, I assumed if I develop every new request from Client using Zend libraries then it will be easy for me in later stages to move to Zend Framework.
openssl is enable and tried with defining local_cert as well, but no Joy.
I hope I made some sense there.
Basically looking for some instruction how to create Self Signed Certificates for this purpose, what should be the code for Server & Client.

Perl SOAP::WSDL accessing HTTPS Unathorized error

I'm trying to generate a Perl library to connect to a WebService. This webservice is in an HTTPS server and my user has access to it.
I've executed wsdl2perl.pl several times, with different options, and it always fails with the message: Unauthorized at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/SOAP/WSDL/Expat/Base.pm line 73.
The thing is, when I don't give my user/pass as arguments, it doesn't even asks for them.
I've read [SOAP::WSDL::Manual::Cookbook] (http://search.cpan.org/~mkutter/SOAP-WSDL-2.00.10/lib/SOAP/WSDL/Manual/Cookbook.pod) and done what it says about HTTPS: Crypt::SSLeay is instaleld, and both SOAP::WSDL::Transport::HTTP and SOAP::Transport::HTTP are modified.
Can you give any hint about what may be going wrong?
Can you freely access the WSDL file from your web browser?
Can someone else in your network access it without any problems?
Maybe the web server hosting the WSDL file requires Basic or some other kind of Authentication...
If not necessary ,I don't recommend you to use perl as a web service client .As you know ,perl is a open-source language,although it do support soap protocol,but its support do not seem very standard.At first,its document is not very clear.And also ,its support sometimes is limited.At last,bug always exists here and there.
So ,if you have to use wsdl2perl,you can use komodo to step into the code to find out what happened.This is just what I used to do when using perl as a web service client.You know ,in the back of https is SSL,so ,if your SSL is based on certificate-authorized,you have to set up your cert path and the list of trusted server cert.You'd better use linux-based firefox to have a test.As I know ,you can set up firefox's cert path and firefox's trusted cert list.If firefox can communicated with your web service server succefully,then,it's time to debug your perl client.
To debug situations with Perl and SOAP, interpose a web proxy so you can see exactly what data is being passed and what response comes back from the server. You were getting a 401 Not authorized, I expect, but there may be more detail in the server response.
Both Fiddler http://docs.telerik.com/fiddler and Charles proxy https://www.charlesproxy.com/ can do this.
The error message you quote seems to be from this line :
die $response->message() if $response->code() ne '200';
and in HTTP world, Unauthorized is clearly error code 401, which means your website asks for a username and password (most probably, some website may "hijack" this error code to cater for other conditions like a filter on the source IP).
Do you have them?
If so, you can
after wdsl2perl has run, find in the created files where set_proxy() is called and change the URL in there to include the username and password like that : ...->set_proxy('http://USERNAME:PASSWORD#www.example.com/...')
or your in code, after instantiating the SOAP::WSDL object, call service(SERVICENAME) on it (for each service you have defined in your WSDL file), which gives you a new object, on which you call transport() to access the underlying transport object on which you can call proxy() with the URL as formatted above (yes it is proxy() here and set_proxy() above); or you call credentials() instead of proxy() and you pass 4 strings:
'HOSTNAME:PORT'
the realm, as given by the webserver but I think you can put anything
the username
the password
