I need to update an order which is done via PUT method passing the order id as part of the https url string and a single parameter, the status_id.
https://mystore.mybigcommerce.com/orders/12345.json
I have tried several methods to pass the status_id value but no matter what I try "status_id=12" or formatted as JSON "{"status_id": 12,}" I always get the same response:
[{"status":415,"message":"The specified input content type is not valid."}]
I have also tried as a POST request passing the JSON or XML code as raw data but that method is not supported.
How am I supposed to pass that field=value pair? can I embed it in the url string?
I also tried it but it wouldn't work for me.
Any ideas?
In case you are wondering I am doing it within FileMaker with TROIUrl plugIn, not a very popular technology, but the GET method retrieving orders works like a charm
TURL_Put( ""; $url ;"status_id=12") (I have also tried other FM plugIns to no avail)
Don't get too caught up in the Filemaker part, I don't expect many people out there to be familiar with BigCommerce and Filemaker. I just need a generic answer.
Thanks
Commandline tool curl is worth a try. It supports put and https.
Mac OS X: curl already installed, call from FileMaker via AppleScript do shell script.
Windows: must be installed, call via Powershell.
It works for me using { "status_id": "3" } which means you probably need to put quotes around the actual number.
Also, it is a PUT operation and application/json which is part of the request content.
The error message received by the OP:
[{"status":415,"message":"The specified input content type is not valid."}]
Is saying that he did not supply the 'Content-Type' header in his request or that the header supplied is for a content type that is not allowed. For the OP's case using JSON he would need to include the header:
Content-Type: application/json
in his HTTPS request. This description can be found along with those of the other status codes you may see here:

I'm trying to make get requested with .Q.hg (HTTP get), but I need to edit the request headers to provide API keys. How can I do this?
You can try this function I wrote a few years back for a POC (similar reason - I needed to supply multiple headers). It's based on .Q.hmb which underpins .Q.hp/hg. Please note - it was never extensively tested & there are likely better alternatives out there, but it will perhaps work as a quick solution.
k)req:{[url;method;hd;bd]d:s,s:"\r\n";url:$[10=#url;url;1_$url];p:{$[#y;y;x]}/getenv`$_:\("HTTP";"NO"),\:"_PROXY";u:.Q.hap#url;t:~(~#*p)||/(*":"\:u 2)like/:{(("."=*x)#"*"),x}'","\:p 1;a:$[t;p:.Q.hap#*p;u]1;(4+*r ss d)_r:(`$":",,/($[t;p;u]0 2))($method)," ",$[t;url;u 3]," HTTP/1.1",s,(s/:("Connection: close";"Host: ",u 2),((0<#a)#,$[t;"Proxy-";""],"Authorization: Basic ",.Q.btoa a),($[#hd;(!hd),'": ",/:. hd;()])),($[#bd;(s,"Content-length: ",$#bd),d,bd;d])}
It takes 4 arguments:

Hello i have GET method that URL example is:
http://localhost:8050/programs/b3cb6a0f-5d29-4744-a7e8-5fa0099dab18
Where the last String is just programId that I set as parameter in HTTP Request.
JMeter is kinda confused and the respond in raw request is:
GET http://localhost:8050/
GET data:
b3cb6a0f-5d29-4744-a7e8-5fa0099dab18
but there's just 404 in response data.
I can just delete parameter and write /programs/b3cb6a0f-5d29-4744-a7e8-5fa0099dab18 in path instead of /programs/ and everything works perfectly fine. IMO it's awful way. I'd prefer do it with parameter.
Write in path the parameter as /programs/${programId}.
This is part of the path and not parameter, parameters in GET request are different than POST see http methods
path/mypage?param1=value1¶m2=value2
I created my own “404 Page not found” error page on a TYPO3 website and implemented it via the /typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php as follows, using the page’s Speaking URL path:
return [
...
'FE' => [
...
'pageNotFound_handling' => '/page-not-found/',
]
]
Now when I call a non-existing page, the error page gets displayed but there is a 4-digit alphanumeric number (hexadecimal as far as I’ve seen by now) BEFORE the HTML source code and a “0” AFTER it. Example (the number in the beginning is different after most of the reloads):
37b3
<!DOCTYPE html>
...
</html>
0
When calling the error page URL itself the page is returned correctly without those numbers.
Having the RealURL extension activated or deactivated does not make a difference.
Thanks a lot in advance!
I added the full description from the install tool and I guess we might find the solution there.
How TYPO3 should handle requests for non-existing/accessible pages.
empty (default)
The next visible page upwards in the page tree is shown.
'true' or '1'
An error message is shown.
String
Static HTML file to show (reads content and outputs with correct headers), e.g. notfound.html or http://www.example.org/errors/notfound.html.
Prefix "REDIRECT:"
If prefixed with "REDIRECT:" it will redirect to the URL/script after the prefix.
Prefix "READFILE:"
If prefixed with "READFILE" then it will expect the remaining string to be a HTML file which will be read and outputted directly after having the marker "###CURRENT_URL###" substituted with REQUEST_URI and ###REASON### with reason text, for example: READFILE:fileadmin/notfound.html.
Prefix "USER_FUNCTION:"
If prefixed with "USER_FUNCTION:" a user function is called, e.g. USER_FUNCTION:fileadmin/class.user_notfound.php:user_notFound->pageNotFound where the file must contain a class user_notFound with a method pageNotFound() inside with two parameters $param and $ref.
What you configured:
You're passing a string, thus TYPO3 expects to find a file - which you don't have, because it's more like an URL.
From what you try to achieve I'd go with REDIRECT:/page-not-found/.
Thanks for pointing this one out btw, I will remove the string configuration from the core since it does not make sense to have more people trip into this pitfall.
In short: change the following line in the FE section of your LocalConfiguration.php:
'pageNotFound_handling' => '/your404page.html',
to
'pageNotFound_handling' => 'REDIRECT:/your404page.html',
Cause
The actual cause is a combination of chunked Content-Encoding and the TYPO3 not being able to decode that in some cases. In your case the page not found handler eventually uses GeneralUtility::getUrl() to retrieve the error page.
If you have [SYS][curlUse] enabled it will use cUrl to retrieve the page and there is no problem.
If you don't have [SYS][curlUse] enabled it will open a socket, read the headers and then read the rest of the body. If the webserver uses "chunked" Content-Encoding the body will contain blocks of data and each block starts with a line with the length in hexadecimal format. The content ends with an empty block (with of course a line with the length "0").
cUrl apparently knows how to decode chunked data.
getUrl() itself does not know how to handle chunked data and uses the content as is as the page content.
In TYPO3 8 LTS the guzzle library is used to handle HTTP requests. In the guzzle code I can't find anything about handling chunked data. Guzzle will check if the cUrl PHP extension is present and use that as preferred transport. In most installations cUrl is present and since this decodes chunked data automagically no problem is visible. I have to test guzzle with PHP that has cUrl disabled to see if the issue is also present in v8/master.
Workaround/solution
If the PHP extension cUrl is enabled in your installation you can simply set [SYS][curlUse] in the Install Tool. The numbers around the 404 page content will disappear.
I need to access the Date: header when I handle the request, but this seems to be "swallowed" by the framework; any other header (even made up FooBar ones) show up and I can get them, but this gives me None (I'm using Postman to send a simple GET request - everything else works just fine):
println("Date: " + request.headers.get("Date").getOrElse("no date!"))
returns "no date!" no matter how I try to send something sensible.
I'm wondering whether this gets processed before the request object reaches my Action.
I need the actual string value sent, as this should be part of the request's signature - so an equivalent Date object representing the same value would not be of much use (as it needs to be part of the hash, to avoid replay attacks).
Just as a test, I replaced the Date header with a Date-Auth one, and this one shows up just fine:
ArrayBuffer((Date-Auth, ArrayBuffer(Wed, 15 Nov 2014 06:25:24 GMT))
Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated!
Are you sure there is a Date Header in your request (tested with tools like firebug or wireshark)?
Browsers do not need to send a Date header.
RFC 2616 (HTTP 1.1) from the Date section (14.18)
Clients SHOULD only send a Date header field in messages that include an entity-body, as in the case of the PUT and POST requests, and even then it is optional. A client without a clock MUST NOT send a Date header field in a request.
I stand corrected - it turns out that Chrome blocks a whole bunch of headers:
http://www.getpostman.com/docs/requests
I wrote a Python Flask test server and, in fact, the Date header is not there.
That page has also a fix, which works just fine with Postman Version 0.10.4.3 and Interceptor(1).
sorry for wasting everyone's time!
1 Incidentally, IMO Postman is the best REST client and has now also some awesome looks, beyond incredible functionality. If you're working with REST APIs, I highly recommend it.
I'm using Jon Crosby's open source Objective-C OAuth library http://code.google.com/p/oauthconsumer/ for some basic http authentication that does not deal with tokens, only consumer key and consumer secret. My code works great for GET, GET with parameters in the URL, and POST. When I issue a POST request that has parameters in the URL, though, the request fails authorization. I'm trying to figure out why.
The server is using Apache Commons OAuth, so I'd like to compare my base string with that library. Here's a contrived example and the base string and signature produced by my library. Can anyone see what the problem is?
consumer key: abcdef
consumer secret: ghijkl
POST request: http://emptyrandomhost.com/a/uriwith/params?interesting=foo&prolific=bar
my base string: POST&http%3A%2F%2Femptyrandomhost.com%2Fa%2Furiwith%2Fparams&interesting%3Dfoo%26oauth_consumer_key%3Dabcdef%26oauth_nonce%3D1%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D2%26oauth_version%3D1.0%26prolific%3Dbar
This data produces the following OAuth header authorization:
Authorization: OAuth oauth_consumer_key="abcdef",
oauth_version="1.0",
oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",
oauth_timestamp="2",
oauth_nonce="1",
oauth_signature="Z0PVIz5Lo4eB7aZFT8FE3%2FFlbz0%3D"
And apparently my signature is wrong. The problem has to either be in the construction of the base string, in the way that the HMAC-SHA1 function is implemented (using Apple's CCHmac from CommonHMAC.h, so hopefully this isn't it), or with my Base64Transcoder, which is open source c. 2003 by Jonathan Wight/Toxic Software. I primarily suspect the base string, since the requests work for GET and POST and only fail with POST with URL parameters as above.
Can someone with lots of OAuth experience spot the problem above? Something else that would be very useful is the base string that is produced by Apache Commons OAuth in their authentication. Thanks.
As per RFC 5849 section 3.4.1.2, the OAuth base string URI does not include the query string or fragment. If either the client or the server does not remove the query parameters from the base string URI and add them to the normalized OAuth parameter list, the signatures won't match. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell which side is making this mistake. But it's easy to determine this is the problem: If it always works without query parameters but always fails with query parameters, you can be pretty sure that one side or the other is generating the wrong base string. (Be sure that it always happens though... intermittent errors would be something else. Similarly, if it never works with or without a query string, that would also be something else.) The other possibility is that normalization was done incorrectly — the parameter list must be sorted and percent encoded sequences must be upper-cased. If it's not normalized correctly on both sides, that will also cause a base string mismatch, and thus a signature mismatch.
