The following code doesn't authenticate the user (no authentication failure happens, but the call fails due to lack of permissions):
def remote = new HTTPBuilder("http://example.com")
remote.auth.basic('username', 'password')
remote.request(POST) { req ->
uri.path = "/do-something"
uri.query = ['with': "data"]
response.success = { resp, json ->
json ?: [:]
}
}
But the following works fine:
def remote = new HTTPBuilder("http://example.com")
remote.request(POST) { req ->
uri.path = "/do-something"
uri.query = ['with': "data"]
headers.'Authorization' =
"Basic ${"username:password".bytes.encodeBase64().toString()}"
response.success = { resp, json ->
json ?: [:]
}
}
Why isn't the first one working?
Two things that I can think of off the top of my head.
The .setHeaders
method requires a map. Have you tried
'Authorization' : "Basic ${"username:password".bytes.encodeBase64().toString()}"
?
If not, It's a bit more work and code, but you could user the URIBuilder
as well. Generally I encapsulate to a different class
protected final runGetRequest(String endpointPassedIn, RESTClient Client){
URIBuilder myEndpoint = new URIBuilder(new URI(Client.uri.toString() + endpointPassedIn))
HttpResponseDecorator unprocessedResponse = Client.get(uri: myEndpoint) as HttpResponseDecorator
def Response = unprocessedResponse.getData() as LazyMap
return Response
}
Hope this helps
