Problems with format variable response of http:request()

[jjacques68 4]

 Hello everybody !

 

I post here because, since few weeks ago, I have a problem with the format of the variable "response" with the function http:request() (on PushBullet website).

 

In the callback "success" function :

 

The "response.data" is :

The "response.status" give me "1" instead "200" !

I don't have "response.headers" !

 

 

And logically, if I use this traditional callback code :

I have an error :

It looks like a bug with the function http:request() no ?

 

 

 

to bypass this bug, I use this :

And to use the fields "devices" from the json, I must do a string.sub() of this json after "Connection: close"

It's boring !! and not correct !!

 

 

 

does anyone have a solution for this bug ?

 

best regards !

In a scene you get a "bad status" error message from pushbullet  

Because (almost) no one else seems to have problem with net.HTTPClient I would guess that it's either some of pushbullet's headers that the lua library stumbles on (HC3's fault), or some missing \r\n in the response (pushbullet's fault), where other http libraries sometimes are more forgiving.... (no one at stack overflow seems to have this issue with pushbullet)

 

I made a try from my

, and it worked of course - but there the net.HTTPClient is implemented using the python library....

 

Just tested it on the TQAE emulator that uses the luasocket+http library and it worked there too. Would be surprised if the HC3 uses something else, but maybe they do.

 

It starts to lean towards a HC3 bug.

@cag014 here the entire response (I delete the data in "devices")

It's print with json.encode(),so sorry for the syntax...

I don't change the format, it's plain text.

@jgab when I have time, I will try with another system and I'll can see if it'll work...

Strange indeed.

Just to verify that this is not a bug in HC2, could you please try below url 

"http://worldtimeapi.org:80/api/ip"

Should return some time info.

as I said in my post - I tried it on 2 other systems and it worked as a charm. So I believe it will work on other systems you test (as long as it's not Fibaro) - reason being that the Pushbullet developer community is reasonable large and there is no complaint about the API in this matter.

Unfortunately, the intersection between Pushbullet developers and Fibaro developers seems to be just you, so the sample is not so large, but I would say it's a Fibaro problem.

In any case the QA should not give that response, and the Scene I tested gave "bad status" which is probably the '1' that the QA returns.

I ran into this same issue with the Fronius QuickApp recently.

My workaround was to create a function to parse the response if it's bugged, or process as per usual if the response is correctly formatted.

 

The code for processing the headers might not produce the correct output but for my purposes I just needed the response.status and response.data to be valid.
