HTTP.request("POST"...) seems to be using "GET" instead

Titas22 · July 10, 2023, 11:17pm

Hi,

I’m having an issue with a POST request using HTTP.jl where it seems to be doing a GET request instead.

Versions:

Julia 1.9.0
HTTP.jl 1.7.3

Code:

import HTTP
response = HTTP.request("POST", "http://fiaweather.mfsports.fr/api/verify"; body="""{"token":"test"}""", verbose=3)

Expected result is along the lines of (can see here: https://reqbin.com/hcadtmua) :

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
server: nginx
date: Mon, 10 Jul 2023 21:12:43 GMT
content-type: application/json
content-length: 46
allow: POST, OPTIONS
x-content-type-options: nosniff
x-xss-protection: 1; mode=block
vary: Origin
access-control-allow-origin: *

{"non_field_errors":["Error decoding token."]}

However, I get the following in Julia which seems to suggest that the method used is GET which is not allowed:

ERROR: HTTP.Exceptions.StatusError(405, "GET", "/api/verify/", HTTP.Messages.Response:
"""
HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed

{"detail":"Method \"GET\" not allowed."}""")

As a separate note, this works in MATLAB and gives the correct response (only mentioning as that’s where I am porting it from):

>> webwrite("http://fiaweather.mfsports.fr/api/verify/", struct('token', 'test'), weboptions('RequestMethod', 'post'))
Error using matlab.internal.webservices.HTTPConnector/copyContentToByteArray
The server returned the status 400 with message "Bad Request" in response to the request to URL https://fiaweather.mfsports.fr/api/verify/.

Error in readContentFromWebService (line 46)
        byteArray = copyContentToByteArray(connection);

Error in webwrite (line 139)
    [varargout{1:nargout}] = readContentFromWebService(connection, options);

Also, I get the same error (405) in Julia when using an actual token, while in MATLAB I get a correct success response.

Any help or suggestions are highly appreciated!

Just did a fast Postman test, and here is the result:

Now, we only need to discover what “implicit” parameter we are missing.

Later edit:
The “GET” is request is caused by the HTTP.jl/Postman following the 302 redirect code issued by the server (302 implies a GET). Please see the following post for details and solution.

The issue seems to be related to the wrong redirect code used by the server.

The server issues a 302 redirect (which implies a GET, not a POST).

Both HTTP.jl and Postman follow this rule and assume a GET (but the server plays by different rules).

So, the solution is to set the redirect method in the HTTP.jl request explicitly:

import HTTP
body = Dict("token" => "test")
url = "http://fiaweather.mfsports.fr/api/verify"
response = HTTP.request("POST", url; body=body, redirect_method="POST")

Thanks @algunion, that works!

For future reference, how do you check if this type of thing is happening?

algunion · July 11, 2023, 9:19am

One option is to disable the redirect altogether:

import HTTP
body = Dict("token" => "test")
url = "http://fiaweather.mfsports.fr/api/verify"
response = HTTP.request("POST", url; body=body, redirect=false)

If you execute the above, you’ll get the following response:

HTTP.Messages.Response:
"""
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
content-length: 0
location: https://fiaweather.mfsports.fr/api/verify
cache-control: no-cache
connection: close

"""

But you might ask how I knew it was something related to redirect in the first place. The answer is Stacktrace:... From stacktrace, it was clear that we had a POST followed by a redirect - after that, it was easy just to disable the redirect and see which redirect code was used.

Not sure if this is “the way” - but it worked for me. Maybe @quinnj can point out the best practice for this kind of stuff.
