Got some URLs which I'm testing using the requests library. Example code can be found below:
page = requests.get(url)
print (page.status_code)
#output: 200
Some URLs returns a 404 status code when tested manually. Why is the output giving 200 then?
The programmer can define the status code manually. And it may have misled you.
the HTTP status code “200”, means is “file found.” if you redirect to another page, you will get 200 status code
So You do not let your request redirects.
r = requests.get('http://example.com/sdfsdfs', allow_redirects=False)
print(r.status_code)

I'm using Swashbuckle for a web api app in .Net Core 3.1. I want response examples for various response codes. I can get all of them working except HTTP 500. These are the attributes on the a particular method:
[SwaggerRequestExample(typeof(GroupInfoRequest), typeof(GroupInfoRequestExample))]
[SwaggerResponseExample(Status200OK, typeof(GroupInfo200Example))]
[SwaggerResponseExample(Status400BadRequest, typeof(GroupInfo400Example))]
[SwaggerResponseExample(Status403Forbidden, typeof(GroupInfo403Example))]
[SwaggerResponseExample(Status404NotFound, typeof(GroupInfo404Example))]
[SwaggerResponseExample(Status500InternalServerError, typeof(GroupInfo500Example))]
[ProducesResponseType(Status200OK)]
[ProducesResponseType(Status400BadRequest)]
[ProducesResponseType(Status403Forbidden)]
[ProducesResponseType(Status404NotFound)]
[ProducesResponseType(Status500InternalServerError)]
I can get all of them to render except the GroupInfo500Example. The application only returns an HTTP 500 to indicate an internal exception that isn't caught by other exception handlers. It is intended to return a body that contains, among other things, a GUID that can be passed in to our support organization to help them look up the exception in the application logs. I can not get the example to render for any 5xx error. If I change it to another status code, it renders, so it's specifically the 5xx result that doesn't render. I've checked the openapi json produced and it's not produced as part of the generated JSON. Is there a filter in place that keeps 5xx response docs from showing response examples?
Finally figured it out. I was missing part of the 'ProducesResponseType' attribute. It needs to have the return type as well as the HTTP status code. This works:
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(ADServiceOperationMultipleResult<GroupActionRequestForUsers, UserQuery>), Status200OK)]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(ADServiceOperationMultipleResult<GroupActionRequestForUsers, UserQuery>), Status400BadRequest)]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(ADServiceOperationMultipleResult<GroupActionRequestForUsers, UserQuery>), Status403Forbidden)]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(ADServiceOperationMultipleResult<GroupActionRequestForUsers, UserQuery>), Status404NotFound)]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(ADServiceOperationMultipleResult<GroupActionRequestForUsers, UserQuery>), Status422UnprocessableEntity)]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(ADServiceOperationMultipleResult<GroupActionRequestForUsers, UserQuery>), Status500InternalServerError)]
Oddly enough, some status codes were including the example without it, but now the examples appear consistently as long as I include the method return type in the attribute.
I make an HTTP call in flutter for checking the username and password on my login page.
If I put the right username and password, I will get a status code of 200 OK! Everything is fine up to this point.
But if I put a wrong username and password, to get my status code 901 for that, flutter throws an exception: Invalid response status code!
Maybe the HTTP package just works with the regular status codes (not the individual ones)?
You definitely don't want to be returning 901. You should be returning a valid understood status code. For example, I'd use 403 (Forbidden). An easy-to-understand list can be found in the Wikipedia entry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes.
You should return a valid http status code otherwise it will return the error you mentioned:

I am using ServiceStack with MVC4 and getting 500 error when request parameters are long. I am posting ProductIds seperated by commas to controller via AJAX. In controller I have following call to servicestack API to retrieve data.
ResponseDTO res = restClient.Get(new RequestDTO { ProductIDs = ids});
//ResponseDTO res = restClient.Get(new RequestDTO { ProductIDs = "1234,1235,1236"});
If i submit small parameters in above, it works fine with no error. But when parameter string is in range of 1800 characters, it simply fails on above line and gives 500 Internal Server Error:
NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error - http://localhost/Products/GetProducts
Exception Details: ServiceStack.ServiceClient.Web.WebServiceException: Not Found
is there a limit on GET method for posting large parameter request? Why does it fail for large request when for small parameters it successfully calls API, retrieves data via SQL procedure and sends to view correctly. What can I look into to solve this? Thank you!
p.s. when i debug via VS2012, i see exception details I see Message:Not Found and StatusCode: 404.
As Scott mentioned above, we tried POST for all methods and it fixed issue. I knew GET had limit on browser URL length but didnt think it matters as we had ServiceStack framework and all of their examples were using GET. Thanks again Scott.
I'm trying out http requests to download a pdf file from google docs using google document list API and OAuth 1.0. I'm not using any external api for oauth or google docs.
Following the documentation, I obtained download URL for the pdf which works fine when placed in a browser.
According to documentation I should send a request that looks like this:
GET https://doc-04-20-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/secure/m7an0emtau/WJm12345/YzI2Y2ExYWVm?h=16655626&e=download&gd=true
However, the download URL has something funny going on with the paremeters, it looks like this:
https://doc-00-00-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/5ud8e...tMzQ?h=15287211447292764666&\;e=download&\;gd=true
(in the url '&\;' is actually without '\' but I put it here in the post to avoid escaping it as '&').
So what is the case here; do I have 3 parameters h,e,gd or do I have one parameter h with value 15287211447292764666&ae=download&gd=true, or maybe I have the following 3 param-value pairs: h = 15287211447292764666, amp;e = download, amp;gd = true (which I think is the case and it seems like a bug)?
In order to form a proper http request I need to know exectly what are the parameters names and values, however the download URL I have is confusing. Moreover, if the params names are h,amp;e and amp;gd, is the request containing those params valid for obtaining file content (if not it seems like a bug).
I didn't have problems downloading and uploading documents (msword docs) and my scope for downloading a file is correct.
I experimented with different requests a lot. When I treat the 3 parameters (h,e,gd) separetaly I get Unauthorized 401. If I assume that I have only one parameter - h with value 15287211447292764666&ae=download&gd=true I get 500 Internal Server Error (google api states: 'An unexpected error has occurred in the API.','If the problem persists, please post in the forum.').
If I don't put any paremeters at all or I put 3 parameters -h,amp;e,amp;gd, I get 302 Found. I tried following the redirections sending more requests but I still couldn't get the actual pdf content. I also experimented in OAuth Playground and it seems it's not working as it's supposed to neither. Sending get request in OAuth with the download URL responds with 302 Found instead of responding with the PDF content.
What is going on here? How can I obtain the pdf content in a response? Please help.
I have experimented same issue with oAuth2 (error 401).
Solved by inserting the oAuth2 token in request header and not in URL.
I have replaced &access_token=<token> in the URL by setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer <token>" )
I'm trying to verify if there is a remote url with following code:
endpoint_uri = URI.parse(#endpoint.url)
endpoint_http = Net::HTTP.new(endpoint_uri.host, endpoint_uri.port)
endpoint_request = Net::HTTP::Head.new(endpoint_uri.request_uri)
endpoint_response = endpoint_http.request(endpoint_request)
I'm still getting 405 Method not allowed. When I use Get instead Head in Net::HTTP::Head.new I'm getting 200 Success but also with whole remote document in response what results in bigger response time (0.3s => 0.9s).
Any ideas why this is happening? Thx
There's a chance that the #endpoint url you're trying to interact with doesn't support HEAD requests (which would be really weird, but still may be the case). Your code works fine for me with a handful of urls (google.com, stackoverflow.com, etc.)
Have you tried a curl request to see what it returns?
