Re: HTTP PUT Request - StreamDevice

[Kyle Hesse via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Dirk,

Thank you for your response. I tried both of your suggested methods of 

set_host{

    out 'PUT /io/net/hostname/value.json HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n"New-Hostname"';

}

and

OutTerminator = CR LF CR LF;

set_host{    out 'PUT /io/net/hostname/value.json HTTP/1.1';

             out '"New-Hostname"';}

I am getting a response of HTTP/1.1 200 OK, however the hostname will not change. I also tried to add in some of the other header lines but had the same result.

I noticed when using curl, the hostname had to be supplied with two sets of quotes:

     curl -X PUT -d '"New-Hostname"' http://129.57.203.137/io/net/hostname/value.json

When I send the previously mentioned requests I noticed in the console the quotes are escaped:

Command:

     set_host{ out 'PUT /io/net/hostname/value.json HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n"New-Hostname"'; }

Console:

     asynSetTraceMask("fx4",-1,0x9)

     asynSetTraceIOMask("fx4",-1,0x2)

     2024/09/11 16:02:41.166 129.57.203.137:80 HTTP write 57

     PUT io/net/hostname/value.json HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n\"New-Hostname\"

If I send a curl command with escaped quotes, the name will not change:

curl -X PUT -d '\"New-Hostname\"' http://129.57.203.137/io/net/hostname/value.json

Any suggestions on the way the quotes are escaped in StreamDevice?

Thanks,

Kyle

Hello Kyle,

For testing, I have started a fake server with:
ncat -l -p 8080

And have sent the command to it:
curl -X PUT -d '"New-Hostname"' \
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__fakeserver-3A8080_ioc_net_hostname_value.json&d=DwIGaQ&c=CJqEzB1piLOyyvZjb8YUQw&r=XoO1MAWp671dzq4GtQTw9Q&m=pruKbDwo_Ww12xZBNKqD_nl0qd9_KdK7lo963LHk6QsNWd0CuqhdAsaMbOecVx3N&s=rdFe2srdAMqV1w77G326beUJgCVs9s0rdRZjRtfs5R8&e=

What I see in ncat is:

PUT /ioc/net/hostname/value.json HTTP/1.1
Host: fakeserver:8080
User-Agent: curl/7.61.1
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 14
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

"New-Hostname"[no newline!]

I guess some lines may be optional, but one thing is important:
There is an empty line between header and content. Be aware that your
OutTerminator is only added at the end or out commands (where curl did not
bother to add any terminator).

Thus I suggest you either add the empty line manually:

set_host{
    out 'PUT /io/net/hostname/value.json HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n"New-Hostname"';
}

Or alternatively use 2 out commands, each will be terminated with CR LF CR LF.

set_host{    out 'PUT /io/net/hostname/value.json HTTP/1.1';
             out '"New-Hostname"';}

If that is still not sufficient, try to add some of the other header lines, but
have an empty line only directly before the content.


Dirk
