I am having a strange problem while making an application in iPhone. The problem is in making a POST request to the server API in ColdFusion. We have two servers: one is for Testing and other for Production. The app works perfectly on the Testing server, but when we do a POST request in Production server the API couldn't read the request variable and gives error as Element xxxxx is undefined in ATTRIBUTES, but actually it is there. One reason could be different User-Agents, but after trying many combinations it does not work.
Any help would be very appreciated.
I don't understand why you're talking about different user-agent? It's iPhone to test server or iPhone to production server, no? Is the configuration exactly the same including the Application.cfc (or Application.cfm)?
Web app or native app calling cfc's?
I don't think user-agents make any difference. Try to submit request directly through browser to make sure it is really working. Best way to do that NSLog url request and paste it in browser.
I figured out the problem. It was the "LINK" I was using. The API worked with adding "www" to the link, where as I was using the link without "www". Hope it helps someone.
Thanks.

What is the difference between the way a browser calls the URL and doing it via Rest Debugger or HTTP Components?
I have a 3rd party Web REST API that work every time in a browser (IE it returns JSON as expected), but when I use (GET) the same URL in the Delphi REST Debugger it returns error code 429 Too Many Requests.
I am not allowed to post the exact URL here (I'm sorry, boss has the last say but it is like this https://xxxx.yyyy.com.au/search/resources/store/zzzzz/productview/123456).
For additional information the result is consistent giving the 429 error when I use NetHTTPClient and NetHTTPRequest components as well as using the Delphi REST Components.
I thought that setting the user agent to be the same as my browsers might help, but alas it didn't. I use Delphi 10.3.3 Rio
I'm a bit new to REST and haven't found an answer by googling for a couple of days now. Any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks,

The answer is cookies. When I rejected all cookies I could see the behavior as stated by #RemyLebeau where the page is in a continuous loop. The browser sends a cookie with the request header. I'm new to all of this, so I'll try to replicate what the browser is doing and see what happens. If I get really stuck I'll post another question specifically about cookies. Many thanks to all who offered advice. Most appreciated. I put this here because someone deleted this as an answer.
I am using django allauth in a variety of application that i make and its awesome!
Right now, I am trying to develop a login process in two separate steps.
I have a client(mobile) social login with some provider(twitter, Facebook) and the client takes the oauth credentials and sends them back to the server.
That means, that i do not need to use the forms and the templates provided, since all that are handled just fine by the client already.
What i need, is to know what functions/views i need to call in order to avoid all the functions that need the request to work properly.
I hope that i explained in detail my issue.
Thank you in advance,
Michael.
I am building an iPhone app where I would like authenticate with a rails server that uses Authlogic for authentication.
I am okay sending the username/password once but would like to use the persistence_token for auth following that.
I am unable to authenticate with the rails server. What special magic do I need to do to get persistence_token to work? Do I pass it in the header or set it in the cookies? Also do I need to wrap it in user_session?
I am using ASIHTTPRequest to make JSON calls.
Many thanks for the help! I am hoping anyone else who has a similar question in the future will end up saving hours once this question is correctly answered. Also, I realize my understanding of persistence_token might not be correct, in that case, please correct me.
Looks like persistence_token is set in the cookies as user_session=. One could set the cookie for every request, but I am just logging in with ASIHTTP once the client is started. ASIHTTP/NSURL continues to save the cookies for all the recurring calls.
I am working with an app that is querying a JSON API on a server running Drupal. I used this tutorial and have changed the code a bit to work with my program, but every request just sends me to the not authorized page that the server generates. Any ideas why?
Why not use the drupal ios sdk? https://github.com/organizations/workhabitinc
I guess you haven't set the permissions in the Drupal service.
First go to permissions, and set the desired ones for the modules you're using (I guess you're using the default ones that are included within the services module).
Next, go to Site Building->Services, and authentication. Check if you have any authentication module set, and if so, add the methods that you're using to that key.
At our company we've made several apps which uses Drupal (but using XMLRPC instead of JSON). So feel free to ask everytime you need :)
I'm trying to get a FacebookLoginTest running.
Problem is: the Symfony2 client does not send real HTTP requests, so it does not work on URLs of other services (like facebook).
I know I could work with cUrl,... but I see so many obstacles there: session, javascript, redirects.
Any ideas how we could get this running? Anyone got a automatic oAuth test running?
Your best bet might be Goutte https://github.com/fabpot/Goutte which is a wrapper around the Sf2 components you're using combined with an HTTP client. Good luck!
curl should work just fine for this, and while it doesn't support javascript, you won't need js support for what you're trying to accomplish.
