FIWARE CEP (Proton) REST consumer stopped working after error and URL invalid charactes - rest

I'va noticed that if the requests send via REST consumer return an error (invalid scheme, connection refused, error 400, etc.) the REST consumer doesn't work anymore. To get it back, I had to reload the definition file.
I think that this may be a bug.
Moreover, during these tests, I've also noticed that not all the URL were accepted. For example, by omitting the "http://" Proton returns "invalid scheme" error. Whereas, URL with "-" isn't parsed correctly and the "connection refused" error is returned.
It'd very helpful to have a list of prohibited characters.
Thanks.

Configure http return codes from BizTalk to client

I have problem in BizTalk 2020 a receive location that configured with BasicHTTP WCF Adapter is returning 500 internal server error when it should be returning 400 bad request. The receive location is functioning correctly the receive location has a JSON decoder pipeline component that serializes the inbound JSON message to XML.
Is there some simple way to configure BizTalk to send a 400 bad request when validation fails instead of a 500 internal server error?
Online documentation difficult to comprehend.
No, there isn't any configuration in BizTalk to change what error code it throws if you use the out of the box validator.
So you would either have to write a custom pipeline component, or execute a pipeline in an Orchestration and catch the exception there and then craft a response with the HTTP status of 400.

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.

leaflet-geosearch OpenStreetMapProvider problem

I have problem with leaflet-geosearch OpenStreetMapProvider I get an error in console:
No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:3001' is therefore not allowed access.
That's a 503 error from the Nominatim server. 50x errors are failures on the web server side (not on your code), and a 503 is usually a temporary overload or outage. You'll have to wait it out.

Email/Password Authentication Mongodb-stitch Android API

This seems to be on a very new topic because the "stitch" or "mongodb-stitch" tags do not exist yet.
I have a mongodb altas cluster on cloud.mongodb.com. The page https://docs.mongodb.com/stitch/auth/email-auth/ only teaches how to do things with JS but I don't have server side JS on hand. Instead I tried to figure out how to do things with the StitchClient on the Android API.
I was able to register an email/password pair using StitchClient.register(email,pwd) and got an email from no-reply+stitch#mongodb.com with the token/tokenId. I copied them and used StitchClient.emailConfirm(token, tokenId) but failed. The error was:
Unexpected response code 404 for https://stitch.mongodb.com/api/client/v1.0/app/APP-ID/auth/local/userpass/confirm
which sounds strange! I opened a browser and paste that in the URL and got 404 too. I even did
curl --data "token=432...345&tokenId=435..334" https://stitch.mongodb.com/api/client/v1.0/app/APP-ID/auth/local/userpass/confirm
and still got 404.
Is this a bug or an outage of the stitch.mongodb.com server?

Postman : socket hang up

I just started using Postman. I had this error "Error: socket hang up" when I was executing a collection runner. I've read a few post regarding socket hang up and it mention about sending a request and there's no response from the server side and probably timeout. How do I extend the length of time of the request in Postman Collection Runner?
For me it was because my application was switched to https and my postman requests still had http in them. Changing postman to https fixed it.
Socket hang up, error is port related error. I am sharing my experience. When you use same port for connecting database, which port is already in use for other service, then "Socket Hang up" error comes out.
eg:- port 6455 is dedicated port for some other service or connection. You cannot use same port (6455) for making a database connection on same server.
Sometimes, this error rises when a client waits for a response for a very long time. This can be resolved using the 202 (Accepted) Http code. This basically means that you will tell the server to start the job you want it to do, and then, every some-time-period check if it has finished the job.
If you are the one who wrote the server, this is relatively easy to implement. If not, check the documentation of the server you're using.
Postman was giving "Could not get response" "Error: socket hang up".
I solved this problem by adding the Content-Length http header to my request
Are you using nodemon, or some other file-watcher? In my case, I was generating some local files, uploading them, then sending the URL back to my user. Unfortunately nodemon would see the "changes" to the project, and trigger a restart before a response was sent. I ignored the build directories from my file-watcher and solved this issue.
Here is the Nodemon readme on ignoring files: https://github.com/remy/nodemon#ignoring-files
I have just faced the same problem and I fixed it by close my VPN. So I guess that's a network agent problem. You can check if you have some network proxy is on.
this happaned when client wait for response for long time
try to sync your API requests from postman
then make login post and your are done
I defined Authenticate method to generate a token and mentioned its return type as nullable string as:
public string? Authenticate(string username, string password)
{
if(!users.Any(u => u.Key==username && u.Value == password))
{
return null;
}
var tokenHandler = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler();
var tokenKey = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(key);
var tokenDescriptor = new SecurityTokenDescriptor()
{
Subject = new ClaimsIdentity(new Claim[]
{
new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, username)
}),
Expires = DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(1),
SigningCredentials = new SigningCredentials(new
SymmetricSecurityKey(tokenKey),
SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256Signature)
};
var token = tokenHandler.CreateToken(tokenDescriptor);
return tokenHandler.WriteToken(token);
}
Changing nullable string to simply string fixed "Socket Hang Up" issue for me!
If Postman doesn't get response within a specified time it will throw the error "socket hang up".
I was doing something like below to achieve 60 minutes of delay between each scenario in a collection:
get https://postman-echo.com/delay/10
pre request script :-
setTimeout(function(){}, [50000]);
I reduced time duration to 30 seconds:
setTimeout(function(){}, [20000]);
After that I stopped getting this error.
I solved this problem with disconnection my vpn. you should check if there is vpn connected.
What helped for me was replacing 'localhost' in the url to http://127.0.0.1 or whatever other address your local machine has assigned localhost to.
Socket hang up error could be due to the wrong URL of the API you are trying to access in the postman. please check the URL once carefully.
It's possible there are 2 things, happening at the same time.
The url contains a port which is not commonly used AND
you are using a VPN or proxy that does not support that port.
I had this problem. My server port was 45860 and I was using pSiphon anti-filter VPN. In that condition my Postman reported "connection hang-up" only when server's reply was an error with status codes bigger than 0. (It was fine when some text was returning from server with no error code.)
When I changed my web service port to 8080 on my server, WOW, it worked! even though pSiphon VPN was connected.
Following on Abhay's answer: double check the scheme. A server that is secured may disconnect if you call an https endpoint with http.
This happened to me while debugging an ASP.NET Core API running on localhost using the local cert. Took me a while to figure out since it was inside a Postman environment and also it was a Monday.
In my case, adding in the header the "Content-length" parameter did the job.
My environment is
Mac:
[Terminal command: sw_vers]
ProductName: macOS
ProductVersion: 12.0.1. (Monterey)
BuildVersion: 21A559
mysql:
[Terminal command: mysql --version]
Ver 8.0.27 for macos11.6 on x86_64 (Homebrew)
Apache:
[Terminal command: httpd -v]
Server version: Apache/2.4.48 (Unix)
Server built: Oct 1 2021 20:08:18.
*Laravel
[Terminal command: php artisan --version]
Laravel Framework 8.76.2
Postman
Version 9.1.5 (9.1.5)
socket hang up error can also occur due to backend API handling logic.
For example - I was trying to create an Nginx config file and restart the service by using the incoming API request body. This resulted in temporary disconnection of the Nginx service while handling the API request and resulted in socket hang up.
If you have tried all the steps mentioned in other comments, and still face the issue. I suggest you check the API handler code thoroughly.
I handled the above-mentioned example by calling the Nginx reset method with delay and a separate API to check the status of the prev reset request.
For me it was giving Socket Hung Up error only while running Collection Runner not with single request.
Adding a small delay (100-300ms) in the collection Runner solved issue for me.
In my case, I had to provide --ssl-client-key and --ssl-client-cert files to overcome these errors.
Great error, it is so general that for everyone something different helps.
In my case I was not able to fix it and what is really funny is fact that I am expecting to get multipart file on one endpoint. When I prepare request in postman I get "Error: socket hang up". If I change for other endpoint(even not existing) is exactly that same error. But when I call any endpoint without body that request works and after that all subsequent attempts works perfectly.
In my case this is purely postman issue. Any request using curl is never giving that error.
For me the issue was related to the mismatch of the http versions on the client and server.
Client was assuming http v2 while server (spring boot/ tomcat) in the case was http v1
When on the server I configured server to v2, the issue got resolved in a go.
In spring boot you can configure the http v2 as below:-
server.http2.enabled=true
Note - Also the scenario was related to using client auth mechanism (i.e. MTLS)
Without client auth/ MTLS it worked without issues but for client auth the version setting in spring boot was the important rescue point
"socket hang up" is proxy related issue. when we run same collection with the help of newman on jenkins then all test are passed.
change the proxy setting
https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/cf-cli/http-proxy.html
I had the same issue: "Error: socket hang up" when sending a request to store a file and backend logs mentioned a timeout as you described. In my case I was using mongoDB and the real problem was my collection’s array capacity was full. When I cleared the documents in that collection the error was dismissed. Hope this will help someone who faces a similar scenario.
"Socket Hung Up" can be on-premise issue some time's, because, of bottle neck in %temp% folder, try to free up the "temp" folder and give a try
I fixed this issue by disabling Postman token header. Screenshot:
I face the same issue in when calling a SOAP API with POSTMAN
by adding the following data in the header my issue was fixed
Key:Content-Length
Value:<calculated when request is sent>
In my case, I was incorrectly using a port reserved for https version of my api.
For example, I was supposed to use https://localhost:6211, but I was using http://localhost:6211.
It is port related error. I was trying to hit the API with an invalid port.
if it helps to anybody... In my case, i just forgot to use json parser (const jsonParser = express.json();) to have access to json type of objects sending to the server from the client. Be careful, don't waste your time =)
This happened to me while I was learning ASP.NET Web API.
In my case it was because the SSL certificate verification.
I was using VS Code so I oversee about SSL certificate verification and it came with https protocol.
I solved this with testing my endpoints with http protocol.
Another approach can be just disabling the SSL certificate Verification on Postman Settings.
This error was coming for me since the request url is not correct --> here you can see my url does not contains : after http
The url I was using was : http//locahost:9090/someApi
Solution
adding a colon new url is http://localhost:9090/someApi
the socket error was not coming
This is just my case may be your case is totally different as mentioned in the other answers :)
