I have a web server that handles configuration set-up for various IO devices. I need to get some data from a REST server that is running on a different server. Can that web server code issue a client REST GET command to a REST server running on a different server? I tried it but I get a http 500 error. The server code is failing on the REST server request code.
I am closing out this question. Yes, your server can issue http requests to other services. I was having another problem with a self-signed certificate and the error made it look like their was a problem with my http request service.

I am using angular-oauth2-oidc to connect to Keycloak server which is behind nginx.
I am using code flow for retrieving the token.
Even when using HTTP also, I see a GET request being sent for /protocol/openid-connect/certs
which is failing since the frontend APIs are having the correct hostname, but the backend APIs (jwks_uri) is having localhost.
Also, I am unable to set the KC_HOSTNAME_STRICT_BACKCHANNEL=true since the backend microservices will not be able to connect to Keycloak.
Is there a workaround for this.
I have an app with a backend and a frontend that communicate with each other, and is developed on Wildfly.
When I make a PUT request from the backend to the frontend, these requests do not arrive and they return a 500 error. However, POST requests work correctly and do not generate problems.
I have checked the configuration of the wildfly, ficher or configuration server (standalone.xml), but I do not fall where the problem may be.
How can I fix this?
So you say when the backend sends a PUT request the response has status 500, while when the backend sends a POST request to the same URL the response has status 2XX?
That does not smell like a connectivity issue. It seems more that your PUT request gets blocked somewhere. Try to find out where that error 500 is coming from. It could be a proxy or firewall inbetween client and server, it could be even that Wildfly or the application are not configured to respond to PUT.
We have a REST based API project. The project is hosted in IIS on multiple servers on a load balancer.It works great except when a server goes down on the load balancer, we receive a 404 Bad Request error for few seconds and then it resolves itself. How do we resolve this? Are there any changes that need to be done in IIS or on the REST API project itself?
As far as I know, if you use IIS ARR's loadbalance there is no need to add the specail setting to check the server's status. The IIS ARR healthy test will auto send the request to check the server is work well or not. If the IIS ARR find the server is down or return error, it will not redirect the request to the server.
Besides, as far as I know, the 404 error means the page not found not the bad request. Normally, 400 is the bad request status code.
If you find a server is down in your server farms, I suggest you could try to access the server directly through the brwoser to know the details error message.
If the server return 404 error, that means your browser couldn't access the server, it is a network issue normally. You should check the DNS server setting or make sure the IIS web application is running.
If the server return 400 error, you should troublshooting according to the details 400 error message. Normall, it shows when the request contains the wrong header.
I am developing a web service using REST API. This REST API is running on port 6443 for HTTPS. Client is going to be a Single page application running on port 443 for HTTPS on same machine. The problem I am facing is:
While I hit the url say: https://mymachine.com/new_ui I get certificate exception for an invalid certificate because I use a self signed one, so mymachine.com:443 gets added to server exception. But still requests doen't go to REST API as they are running on https://mymachine.com:6443/restservice. If I manually add mymachine.com:6443 to server exception on firefox it works but it will not be the case in production for customers.
Some options that I thought are:
1. Give another pop up and ask to add REST server on port 6443 exception too.But this doesn't look proper as why an end user should accept the cerf for same domain twice. Also REST api server port can change.
Can we programmatically add exception for domain and both the ports in one shot? Ofcourse with the consent of the user. 3. Use a reverse proxy. But then its going to have memory footprint on our system. Also it will be time consuming.
Please suggest some options. How do I deal with it. Thank you
I currently have a windows server set up and I am looking to make rest API calls using Angular 2 to the Tableau Server.
The problem becomes that the Tableau Server that our company uses is over SSL, and my connection is not.
Before I start looking into an SSL certificate I would like to make sure that what I am trying to do is possible.
If I were to add the SSL certificate to the server would this remove my error upon making the request?
I Get an error when making my HTTP post request to an HTTPS server, ERR_INSECURE_RESPONCE.
If I purchase (or get a free trial) a SSL certificate, what kind would I need to do this.
