Hi,
I am trying to make a remote call with HttpClientRequest to reach a Web Service. I can see that the http request is made (both POST or GET seems to work ok ), but I am finding some troubles to:
- Get the content of the response itself that is returned from the server. I can not even find the response headers.
- Also, I don't know how to deal with http Basic authentication. Should I set some particular headers?
Do you know of any reference or some help that I can use to !work out both topics below?
Thanks very much in advance
Guillermo
Try the following
var http = new HttpClientRequest("yourhost.com")
http.execute()
var response = http.response
for(var i in response.header)
logInfo("header[" + i + "] => " + response.header[i])
Should give you something like
Play around with this in a workflow, you'll get the idea.

Thanks David,
Actually this is what I was doing to make the request I meant before, but in the response I can not find anything related to the reply from the server.

Thanks David. I was trying to see the contents of the object returned with
JSON.stringify(response)
and did not get any output. Now with your help I am receiving what I was expecting.
Is anyone able to help with the http Basic authentication headers?

You should use the following:
var API = 'http://yourwebserviceendpoint.com'
var http = new HttpClientRequest(API);
http.method = "GET";
http.header["Content-Type"] = "application/json";
http.header["Accept"] = "application/json";
http.header["Authorization"] = "Basic Z3XNlbmRleHRlc3QxQGdtYWlsLmNvbTpsb2dpbjEyMzQ="; // replace with your authorization code
http.execute();
var response = http.response;

Hi Amit,
I am trying to get the access token using the POST method using in the javascript activity with the reference of the above code. I am passing the Client_id, Client_secret, Grant_Type, and Scope in the header only like above. However getting an error like "invalid_client", "unsupported_grant_acess".
Can you please help me with the code for POST method to get the access token with client_id, client_secret, Grant_Type, and Scope to be passed in the body?
Thanks,
Raviteja Gundu.

Hi Team,
The issue is resolved now. We need to send the grant type, client_id, client_secret in body as a query string. We were able to get the access token now.
http.body="grant_type=<value>&client_id=<value>&client_secret=<value>&scope=<value>";
Hope it will help someone.
Thanks,
Raviteja Gundu.

Hi Marcel,
I don't think you need to add any authorization as far as I remember but I'm not 100% sure to be honest.

Marcel, you must white list outbound url that you will be making the request to.

URL permissions
We have limited the default list of URLs that can be called by JavaScript codes (workflows, etc.). To allow a new URL, the administrator needs to reference it in the serverConf.xml file.
<urlPermission action="blocking" debugTrace="true"> <url dnsSuffix="abc.company1.com" urlRegEx="https://.*" /> <url dnsSuffix="def.partnerA_company1.com" urlRegEx="https://.*" /> <url dnsSuffix="xyz.partnerB_company1.com" urlRegEx="https://.*" /> </urlPermission>
Refer to the Security configuration checklist for more information.
