HTTPS bad request problem

[heggink]

I am trying to convert a requests based HTTPS call into the python framework but struggling to get it to work. The original call is as follows:

base_url = "https://api.life360.com/v3/"
token_url = "oauth2/token.json"

Code: Select all

    circles_url = "circles.json"
    circle_url = "circles/"
    authorization_token = "cFJFcXVnYWJSZXRyZTRFc3RldGhlcnVmcmVQdW1hbUV4dWNyRUh1YzptM2ZydXBSZXRSZXN3ZXJFQ2hBUHJFOTZxYWtFZHI0Vg=="

    headers = {'Accept': 'application/json'}
    authheader="Basic " + authorization_token
    headers.update({'Authorization': authheader, 'cache-control': "no-cache",})
    url = self.base_url + self.token_url
    params = {
        "grant_type":"password",
        "username":self.username,
        "password":self.password,
    }
     r = requests.post(url, data=params, headers=headers)

The plugin call si as follows:

Code: Select all

    self.authorization_token = "cFJFcXVnYWJSZXRyZTRFc3RldGhlcnVmcmVQdW1hbUV4dWNyRUh1YzptM2ZydXBSZXRSZXN3ZXJFQ2hBUHJFOTZxYWtFZHI0Vg=="
    params = {
        "grant_type": "password",
        'username': self.username,
        'password': self.password,
    }
    headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8', \
                'Accept': 'application/json', \
                'cache-control': "no-cache", \
                'Authorization': "Basic " + self.authorization_token, \
                'User-Agent':'Domoticz/1.0' }

    Connection.Send({'Verb':'POST', 'URL':self.token_url, 'Headers': headers, 'Data': params})

but results in a HTTP BAD REQUEST error (the connect itself is fine and onConnect gets called). Aything 'obvious I am missing? I never used the plugin this way so struggling to make it work .

Thanks for the help!

Try to use curl on both versions to get the RAW data. You'll find out the difference between the two codes.
To get the raw data you can do it, for example:

Found the culprit with help from dnpwwo: Don't use Username and Password keywords in the plugin unless you intend to use this mechanism in authentication. I needed my own authentication causing the plugin to misbehave. Switching to a Mode parameter fixed it.
