is it possible to do http post in LUA Scene?

[fuser99 16]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use net.HTTPClient() to do a post request in HC3. It works in QuickApp, but not in LUA Scene.

Is there any way I could do a http post in LUA Scenes?

Thank you.

Thank you. It works on QuickApp, but it doesn't work on LUA Scene. I get  200 status respone but doesn't work.

What I actually want is to do a request to 

http://10.254.5.254/webhook?event=e1&tag=t1

But it seems it does a request to http://10.254.2.254/webhook instead of the full url  (http://10.254.5.254/webhook?event=e1&tag=t1)

I even tried with GET and still the same issue, what can I do?

If I do it via QuickApp the same way it works, but it doesn't work in LUA Scene.

This is a GET request with the parameters into the link. This is not a POST request.

Yes, get request with application/x-www-form-urlencoded data (data in the url) is not supported in the HTTP:request implementationin a scene. I found that out the hard way.
It's stupid, but the HTTP implementation of the scene and Quick App parts is different. Why FIBARO?

Is there a way to do what I need?

Thank you.

You're example is not working in a Lua scene. Write a QA that does it and let the scene trigger the QA as a workaround.
It's not nice, I know.

Thank you.

Can you show us the full request code that works in a QA?

You can encode parameters in the URL of a POST...

I guess you don't have a body for the POST?

...I believe that there is something else going on here

Yes, he’s doing a GET request with the parameters in the URL.

Here is the full code that works great with QA:

 

-- Binary switch type should handle actions turnOn, turnOff

-- To update binary switch state, update property "value" with boolean

 

function QuickApp:doTest(url)

net.HTTPClient():request(url, {

    options = {

        method = 'POST',

        checkCertificate = false,

        timeout = 1000,

        headers= {

            ['Content-Type'] = 'application/json',

            ['accept'] = '*/*'

            }

    },

    success = function(response)

        self:debug(response.status .. " " .. response.data)

    end,

    error = function(message)

        self:debug("HTTPClient error: " .. message)

    end

})

 

end

 

function QuickApp:turnOn()

    self:debug("binary switch turned on")

    QuickApp:doTest("http://10.254.5.254/webhook?event=e1&tag=t2")

    self:updateProperty("value", true)

end

 

function QuickApp:turnOff()

    self:debug("binary switch turned off")

    QuickApp:doTest("http://10.254.5.254/webhook?event=e2&tag=t2")

    self:updateProperty("value", false)    

end

 

-- To update controls you can use method self:updateView(<component ID>, <component property>, <desired value>). Eg:  

-- self:updateView("slider", "value", "55") 

-- self:updateView("button1", "text", "MUTE") 

-- self:updateView("label", "text", "TURNED ON") 

 

-- This is QuickApp inital method. It is called right after your QuickApp starts (after each save or on gateway startup). 

-- Here you can set some default values, setup http connection or get QuickApp variables.

-- To learn more, please visit:

function QuickApp:onInit()

    self:debug("onInit")

end

also QA works with "GET" as method.

[Joep 195]

Ah, you are doing a POST. Normally you have a data payload with the parameters then.

 

What I said. Parameters in the URL don't work in a HTTP scene. I don't know why.

I tested this with an own HTTP endpoint to see what the HC3 sends, and from a scene the parameters are gone and with a QA they are still there.

If you urlencode the parameters?

For me that didn’t work.

This works in a scene

if the parameter part is not urlencoded it's stripped away by the HC3/Scene

Thank you. I tried urlencode via  a website. That didn't work. Good to know it works this way.

Totally strange a QA doesn't need the urlencode.

different http implementation, it is like that since years, for scene was always necessary to urlencode the param part of url

Looks like it works this way. Perhaps it didn't work before because I tried to encode the whole url.

Thank you!
