I am not able to do a POST request to the Composer rest server that is authenticated.
- I have been trying out Hyperledger composer rest server with
authentication and multiuser enabled.
- I have enabled Github based authentication by exporting
COMPOSER_PROVIDERS variable and multiuser mode with Wallet and
identities .
- I authenticate the rest server in github and i am able to do rest
operations in the Composer Swagger explorer .
- I am also able to do the rest operations in Postman by passing the
url with the access_token .
http://localhost:4200/api/Trader?access_token=xxxxxxxxxxx .This works
in Postman as well.
Problem is i am not able to do a post request to the composer-rest URL from java code even after passing the access token as param. I have tried with OKHttpClient,Apache HTTPClient, java.net client , CloseableHTTPClient .
All it gives me is
Server returned HTTP response code: 401
In all methods i get an "AUTHORIZATION FAILURE" error .
I dont know if i am missing anything , because i am able to do a rest operation from Postman . I take the code format from Postman itself and paste it in the Java code and it still doesnt work . I dont know what i am doing wrong ,
Suggestions , code snippets ?
THANKS !
since you managed to get this running from Postman then you're obviously missing something in your java code.
You probably have the URL correct, but might be missing a header, or a json type or something of the sorts.
Inspect your Postman request and replicate it exactly in your java code, everything, not just the URL.
Keep a log of your request and compare it against the Postman one, to see exactly what the difference is.
Try this code to retrieve cookies:
public void getCookieUsingCookieHandler() {
try {
// Instantiate CookieManager;
// make sure to set CookiePolicy
CookieManager manager = new CookieManager();
manager.setCookiePolicy(CookiePolicy.ACCEPT_ALL);
CookieHandler.setDefault(manager);
// get content from URLConnection;
// cookies are set by web site
URL url = new URL("http://host.example.com");
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.getContent();
// get cookies from underlying
// CookieStore
CookieStore cookieJar = manager.getCookieStore();
List <HttpCookie> cookies =
cookieJar.getCookies();
for (HttpCookie cookie : cookies) {
if (cookie.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("access_token")) {
System.out.println("CookieHandler retrieved cookie: " + cookie.getValue());
break;
}
}
} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Unable to get cookie using CookieHandler");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
