Mootools Request.JSON returning null on iPhone - iphone

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I've looked everywhere and can't find an answer.
I'm using mootools 1.2.5 Request.JSON to make an ajax request to return json data. It works fine in all browsers and returns valid json data (validated at http://jsonlint.com and http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com), but when trying the same script on an iPhone and logging the response I get 'null' with the following error -- TypeError: 'null' is not an object.
Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks.
Here's a simplified version of the the request only asking for limit and limitstart:
var jsonRequest = new Request.JSON({
method: 'get',
url: myurl,
data:{
'limit': 10,
'limitstart': 0
},
onSuccess: function( response ) {
if (/android|iphone|ipod|series60|symbian|windows ce|blackberry/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
console.log(response); // returns 'null' on iphone - only one tested so far
}
//otherwise, returns valid json on all web browsers and continues fine
readMap( response );
},
onRequest: function () {
$('loading_div').style.display="block";
},
onComplete: function(){
$('loading_div').style.display="none";
}
}).get();
and here's a snippet of the response returned in browsers, but only returns 'null' on iPhone:
[{"street_address":"My Street Address","id":"2","short_description":"asdf","city":"Seattle","price":"234.00","formattedprice":"$234.00\/week","totalcount":"1"}]

axios keeps removing question mark for query string

Here's my axios config:
const axiosApi = axios.create({
baseURL: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL
})
axiosApi.interceptors.response.use(
response =>
response
,
error => {
if (error.response.status === 404) {
throw new Error(`404\nService does not exist\n${error.request.path}`)
}
}
)
export async function get(url) {
console.log(url)
return await
axiosApi.get(url, {
crossDomain: true
}).then(response => {
return response?.data
})
}
The problem is that when I try to get /path?key=value, I get the /pathkey=value does not exist error.
While console.log(url) shows me the true URL with the question mark and query string, the response interceptor strips the question mark out and that causes 404.
Any idea why this happens?
This is an Axios bug in v1.0.0
Issue reported here: https://github.com/axios/axios/issues/4999
Fixed in v1.1.0
You should pass the query params like below:
axios.get('/path', { params: { key: value} });
Try limit the version in dependency.
"dependencies": {
"axios": "~0.27.2",
},
may help.
Personally I don't even get why Axios developer decide to do this.
Basically according to HTTP Protocol both path and query parameters is considered URI.
Axios.get() should accept everything that is considered URI to conform with HTTP specifications.
And project which let user input its URL for fetch the data will just broken out of the box.

Fetch Post request not working in Custom functions Office Addin [TypeError: Network request failed]

I having been facing this error in custom functions excel Add-in, where I'm trying to call an external service inside a custom function. It works fine for a GET request such as this:
function stockPrice(ticker) {
var url = "https://api.iextrading.com/1.0/stock/" + ticker + "/price";
return fetch(url)
.then(function(response) {
return response.text();
})
.then(function(text) {
return parseFloat(text);
});
}
CustomFunctionMappings.STOCKPRICE = stockPrice;
Taken from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/excel/excel-tutorial-custom-functions#create-a-custom-function-that-requests-data-from-the-web
But gives an exception for a POST request like this:
function stockPrice(ticker) {
var url = "https://westcentralus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/text/analytics/v2.0/sentiment";
return fetch(url, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': key,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify(body))
.then(function(response) {
return response.json();
})
.then(function(response) {
return response.somevalue;
})
.catch(e => {
console.error("Caught exception");
return JSON.stringify(e);
});
}
The above is just a sample to have an idea, of how I'm calling my service. I have tried it with 2-3 different services, and I figured out that after running fetch, the code goes to catch block, and the error value that is returned in the excel is an empty object '{}'. Since there are no ways to debug custom functions on windows, and since there is no specific error description, I'm unable to figure out the issue. I have also added my service domain to App Domain list in manifest file but still no effect.
I am not sure that particular API accepts POST requests, so you maybe running into that.
Debugging in Windows is still being worked on but you can use Excel online and F12tools to debug.
If you are on Windows, you can console.log statements in conjunction with the Runtime logging:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/excel/custom-functions-best-practices#troubleshooting
Hope that helps and we will update this when debugging is ready on for custom functions on windows desktop.

xhrPost seems to be modifying the URL resulting in either 404 or 405?

xhrPost seems to be modifying the URL resulting in either 404 or 405.
This is from a custom widget and attempting to go to a REST service on a WebSphere Liberty server.
The rest service responds correctly when using RESTClient and building the request manually.
I am using var jsonData = JSON.stringify(domForm.toObject("TaskTemplate")); so I can verify the data is correct and sending the data as that string:
data: jsonData,
the URL is hardcoded in the form and no substitution is currently being used:
<form id="TaskTemplate" name="TaskTemplate"
data-dojo-attach-point="taskTemplateNode"
method="POST"
action="http://localhost:9080/test2/rm/tasks/64/update">
I also have a GET with a URL of "http://localhost:9080/test2/rm/tasks/64/" that is working fine.
Seems to be associated with PUT or POST...
When I do the xhrPost, I am getting the following error:
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://localhost:9080/test2/undefined"
since "undefined" is seen, it is like xhrPost is doing some substitution in the hardcode URL...
I am using 1.9.2-20140219-IBM version of dojo which comes with Rational Application Developer.
I have tried both xhrPost and xhrPut with the same results.
Here is the method that is invoked when the button is pushed:
applySubmit: function() {
console.log("inside applySubmit");
var jsonData = JSON.stringify(domForm.toObject("TaskTemplate"));
console.log(jsonData);
var xhrArgs = {
// url: "http://localhost:9080/test2/rm/tasks/64/update",
data: jsonData,
preventCache: true,
timeout: 10000,
handleAs: "text",
contentType: "application/json",
load: function(data) {
console.debug("applySubmit success:" + data);
},
error: function(data) {
console.debug("applySubmit error:");
}
};
console.log("doing dojo.xhrPxxx(xhrArgs);");
var deferred = dojo.xhrPost(xhrArgs); // any need to save local var and exit?
}
In the server logs, I am seeing [WARNING ] SRVE0190E: File not found: /undefined
and that is coming from the webcontainer (makes sense given the error msg above)
So, this means it is not related to my rest service, never gets to it.
This is really starting to delay our project, so any ideas about why this might be occurring would be greatly appreciated!

How to get the REST response message in ExtJs 4?

I'm building upon RESTFul Store example of ExtJs 4. I'd like my script to display errors provided by the REST server, when either Add or Delete request fails. I've managed to obtain the success status of a request (see the code below), but how do I reach the message provided with the response?
Store:
var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
model: 'Users',
autoLoad: true,
autoSync: true,
proxy: {
type: 'rest',
url: 'test.php',
reader: {
type: 'json',
root: 'data',
model: 'Users'
},
writer: {
type: 'json'
},
afterRequest: function(request, success) {
console.log(success); // either true or false
},
listeners: {
exception: function(proxy, response, options) {
// response contains responseText, which has the message
// but in unparsed Json (see below) - so I think
// there should be a better way to reach it than
// parse it myself
console.log(proxy, response, options);
}
}
}
});
Typical REST response:
"{"success":false,"data":"","message":"VERBOSE ERROR"}"
Perhaps I'm doing it all wrong, so any advice is appreciated.
I assume that your service follows the REST principle and uses HTTP status codes other than 2xx for unsuccessful operations.
However, Ext will not parse the response body for responses that do not return status OK 2xx.
What the exception/response object (that is passed to 'exception' event listeners) does provide in such cases is only the HTTP status message in response.statusText.
Therefore you will have to parse the responseText to JSON yourself. Which is not really a problem since it can be accomplished with a single line.
var data = Ext.decode(response.responseText);
Depending on your coding style you might also want to add some error handling and/or distinguish between 'expected' and 'unexpected' HTTP error status codes. (This is from Ext.data.reader.Json)
getResponseData: function(response) {
try {
var data = Ext.decode(response.responseText);
}
catch (ex) {
Ext.Error.raise({
response: response,
json: response.responseText,
parseError: ex,
msg: 'Unable to parse the JSON returned by the server: ' + ex.toString()
});
}
return data;
},
The reason for this behavior is probably because of the REST proxy class not being a first class member in the data package. It is derived from a common base class that also defines the behavior for the standard AJAX (or JsonP) proxy which use HTTP status codes only for communication channel errors. Hence they don't expect any parsable message from the server in such cases.
Server responses indicating application errors are instead expected to be returned with HTTP status OK, and a JSON response as posted in your question (with success:"false" and message:"[your error message]").
Interestingly, a REST server could return a response with a non-2xx status and a response body with a valid JSON response (in Ext terms) and the success property set to 'true'. The exception event would still be fired and the response body not parsed.
This setup doesn't make a lot of sense - I just want to point out the difference between 'success' in terms of HTTP status code compared to the success property in the body (with the first having precedence over the latter).
Update
For a more transparent solution you could extend (or override) Ext.data.proxy.Rest: this will change the success value from false to true and then call the standard processResponse implementation. This will emulate 'standard' Ext behavior and parse the responseText. Of course this will expect a standard JSON response as outlined in your original post with success:"false" (or otherwise fail).
This is untested though, and the if expression should probably be smarter.
Ext.define('Ext.ux.data.proxy.Rest', {
extend: 'Ext.data.proxy.Rest',
processResponse: function(success, operation, request, response, callback, scope){
if(!success && typeof response.responseText === 'string') { // we could do a regex match here
var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
args[0] = true;
this.callParent(args);
} else {
this.callParent(arguments);
}
}
})

JQuery AJAX get not working correctly?

I have a partial view with this jquery script:
$("#btnGetEmpInfo").click(function () {
var selectedItem = $('#EmployeeId').val();
var focusItem = $('#EmployeeId')
alert("Starting");
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: "<%= Url.Action("getEmpInfo", "NewEmployee")%>?sData=" + selectedItem,
data: "{}",
success: function(data) {
if (data.length > 0) {
alert("Yeah!");
} else {
alert("No data returned!");
}
}
});
alert("Back!");
});
Then in my controller I have:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
public JsonResult getEmpInfo(string sData)
{
return new JsonResult { Data = "test" };
}
I can breakpoint in the controller and it is hitting, but the only "Alerts" I get are the "Starting" and "Back". Why would the data not be returned or at least hit saying no data returned?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
Geo...
You probably might want to improve this ajax call like this:
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: '<%= Url.Action("getEmpInfo", "NewEmployee")%>',
data: { sData: selectedItem },
success: function(data) {
// Warning: your controller action doesn't return an array
// so don't expect a .length property here. See below
alert(data.Data);
}
});
and have your controller action accept GET requests:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
public JsonResult getEmpInfo(string sData)
{
return Json(new { Data = "test" }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
OK, now that we have fixed the error let me elaborate. In your code you were using an application/json content type to format your request string. Unfortunately in ASP.NET MVC 2 there is nothing out of the box that is capable of making sense of JSON requests (unless you wrote a custom json value provider factory). Then using string concatenation to append the sData parameter to the URL without ever URL encoding it meaning that your code would break at the very moment the user enters some special character such as & in the EmployeeId textbox.
Try adding the 'beforeSend', 'error' and 'complete' callbacks to get more info in your javascript debugger. http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
Are you using a javascript debugger? (firebug, ie9 dev-tools, chrome dev-tools are decent ones 3 that come to mind)
