HTTPRequest with DELETE method having error 400: Bad Request

[Rudolf]

Hi,
UPDATE: My engineer says the request body is not sent to the server
I'm working on a script.

Portion of the script:
Code to disable account is working fine.

Code: Select all

Let>nextLine=%CRLF%
Let>caHeader=
Let>responseFile=C:\XAMS\RESPONSE.txt

ConCat>caHeader,Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
ConCat>caHeader,nextLine
ConCat>caHeader,Accept: application/json; charset=utf-8

//===smoke-ABCX_05-DISABLE-ACCOUNT=========================
WriteLn>responseFile,nWLNRes,//===smoke-ABCX_05-DISABLE-ACCOUNT=========================
Let>HTTP_CUSTOM_HEADERS=%caHeader%

ReadFile>C:\XAMS\smoke-ABCX_05-DISABLE-ACCOUNT.txt,json_data
WriteLn>responseFile,nWLNRes,HTTP_CUSTOM_HEADERS
WriteLn>responseFile,nWLNRes,json_data
HTTPRequest>https://abcx2001.test.abcx.net:9022/Users/v1/accounts/suspended,,POST,json_data,HTMLResponse,,,,
WriteLn>responseFile,nWLNRes,HTMLResponse

Code to Enable account keeps showing "400 HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request".
No error on server end.

Code: Select all

I have same issue with 2 other REST API function that I'm testing, both DELETE method.
So far POST, PUT and GET are all ok.

Thanks for any help provided.

There is no request body with a DELETE. Please clarify.

Hi Marcus,

Oh I see. I understand the issue now.
I'm using the HTTPRequest to test a REST API that my developer created.

Example:
In another function using DELETE method - They programmed the REST API to use the information in the request body to identify the specific permission to remove from a user.

Any advice on how I can workaround this?

Thanks!

Delete requests with a request body are non standard. Most clients won't support that as it's not in the spec. Macro Scheduler does not support it. Ask your developer if they can make a version of the endpoint which has query parameters instead.
