Re: Getting Bad Request from a HTTPAPI call

Hi,

I am trying to Post to a URL with a username and password to get a token
back using HTTPAPI and YAJL and am getting BAD_REQUEST error. I have also
tried using the following instead of using the yajl set of commands to
generate the JSON-
myJson = '{ "grant_type": "client_credentials" }';

When I debug and check the contents of myJSON, I get junk values-
MYJSON =
....5...10...15...20...25...30...35...40...45
1 ' ÅÊ/>ȬÈ`øÁ Ä%ÑÁ>ȬÄÊÁÀÁ>ÈÑ/%Ë '

Can someone please help?


Here's the code below-
P getAuthToken B Export
D getAuthToken PI 24A
*
D CRLF C X'0d25'
D rc S 10I 0 Inz
D msg S 80A Inz
D runFlag S N Static
D myJSON S 65535A Varying
D size S 10I 0 Inz

D dsLogonDetails DS Static

D dsAuthPwd 24A
D dsAuthUrl 1024A
*
* getLogonInfo Prototype
D getLogonInfo PR 1072A

http_debug(*ON : '/tmp/ShubhDebugLog.txt');

Clear authUrl;

// If not run, set static variables
If Not runFlag;
runFlag = *On;

// Get logon info
dsLogonDetails = getLogonInfo();
EndIf;


// Set Authorization
http_setauth(HTTP_AUTH_BASIC : dsAuthUsr : dsAuthPwd);
http_setCCSIDs( 1208: 0 );

yajl_genOpen(*ON);
yajl_beginObj();

yajl_addChar('grant_type': 'client_credentials');

yajl_endObj();

yajl_copyBuf( 1208 : %addr(myJson) : %size(myJson) : size);
yajl_genClose();

rc = http_url_post_raw(dsAuthUrl : %addr(myJSON : *data) : size :
1 : %paddr('PARSEHEADER'));

If rc <> 1;
msg = http_error;
EndIf;

Return authToken;

/End-Free
P getAuthToken E


Here's the error message: HTTP/1.1 400 BAD_REQUEST
