I am working on a little tool to upload issues found during development to Asana. I am able to get and use post to create tasks etc, but I am unable to do a proper multipart forum upload.
When I run my image upload post request through an independent perl based cgi script I am getting 200's back and an image saved on my server.
When I target Asana, I get 504 gateway timeouts. I am thinking there must be something strict that the perl script is letting through but I have malformed in my request but I am hard pressed to find it.
Is there a web expert or asana expert out there who might be able to help shed some light on what might be missing.
Note the wireshark capture has an extra field. The Asana docs indicate a task field I have tried with and without that field since it is unclear if the task id encoded in the url satisfies that requirement.
I found the problem!
My boundary= had quotes around the value which was getting through on my cgi / apache setup but not for asana.

I hopefully have a simple request but unable to do by myself due Postman's
file support behaviour.
Case:
Lots of people creating simple URLs for a maschine learning tool and pushing them into a database.
The URLs got just simple differencies of an count up ID Number to request the appropriate information.
However, at the end of the day we got lots of simple single textfiles each
with 1 single url line.
What I just wanna do is to push the whole folder into Postman to finally test all created URLs and save the rsult as json...hm
Postman does not support textfiles and yeah thats crackbrained but I dunno how?
Any idea is welcome?
Thanks a lot in advance

You can export a Postman's Collection and see how the requests in it are exported (The JSON Format of a request is to be noted).
Now you know the format of a request, you can create a script that'll just run through all your files and basically generate a request out of each URL and add that to the exported collection's JSON.
Finally, import the collection back into Postman and you'll have all the requests ready to be tested out.
I've been trying to replace source file by these docs - Vimeo API Replace source file.
I'm using Automatic (“pull”) uploads for upload and it works just fine. According to the docs, to replace a file, I should make PUT request to /videos/{id}/files and then proceed with POST to /me/videos, but every time PUT request fails and I get the same:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Vimeo\Exceptions\VimeoRequestException' with message
'Unable to complete request.[Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received]'
in /home/<...>/vendor/vimeo/vimeo-api/src/Vimeo/Vimeo.php:154
POST and PUT request are fed with the same parameters. Maybe I should pass different type for PUT (POST gets 'type' => 'pull')?
Using Vimeo API PHP Lib v. 1.2
What am I missing?
Definitely a bug in the API, it shouldn't timeout. We're on it. For direct support reach out to us at support#vimeo.com.
One thing that can help in the short term is to increase your PHP timeout using the curl option CURLOPT_TIMEOUT (this can be set on the php lib using $lib->setCURLOptions([CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 60]) for 60 seconds).
Once this bug is fixed, it might not resolve the issue. There's a good chance that Vimeo's request to get metadata about the the pull url is timing out, which could be a slow link, or a problem with the upload servers. In either case I recommend reaching out directly for support.
For anyone in the future, if you see timeouts, feel free to reach out to support#vimeo.com for more direct assistance.
We have two jira installations at our company. One that we use for our projects and a second one for testing purposes.
I'm working in a project that needs to use the JIRA REST API. For this purpose I'm connecting to our testing instance.
The problem is that while trying out the REST API, I keep getting 400 errors without a single explanation of what went wrong. I just get an HTML with
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand
I was a bit desperate and decided to try it into our real JIRA. To my surpirse the same request gave me a different response:
{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"project":"project is required"}}
In this case, I do get a meaningful error!
I replicated this easily. I would never get a meaningful error from the test instance, but the real one will always give me one.
I cannot keep trying out stuff in our productive JIRA, but I cannot easily continue working without getting meaningful errors. So, what could be wrong in the testing instance? I could not find any configuration about the 'verbosity' of the API responses.
I believe that this error is returned not by JIRA but rather by proxy web server that is part of you production configuration.
I suggest you to compare HTTP headers that are sent with working requests from your browser with headers you pass via curl. Googling for the "Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand" helps too
How do I play a track from a SoundCloud URL, which, for example, I got from the xml response from a query
<stream-url>https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/31164607/stream</stream-url>
I should have thought that it would have been as easy as:
https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/31164607/stream&client_id=my_client_id
yet I get
<error>401 - Unauthorized</error>
All I want to do is consume it in a Silverlight MediaElement, so all I need is set some url to the MediaElement's Source property.
I've checked an application that I wrote about 2 years ago, and THEN, accessing the stream url was as easy as this for a public track:
http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/18163056/stream&consumer_key=MY_CONSUMER_KEY
however this no longer seems to work.
For example, all I had to do then in C# was:
MediaElement me = new MediaElement();
me.Source= new Url("http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/18163056/stream&consumer_key=MY_CONSUMER_KEY");
me.Play();
Any hints would be appreciated.
I had a reply on a Microsoft forum that seems to imply that SoundCloud might not be possible to stream to Windows 8 Metro devices without consuming the whole stream before playback starts - which is quite worrying and would seem to imply that to make authentication possible, it would have to be done entirely in the url querystring insterad of using the header:
(The following reply is the answer to the following question: 'I am able to access an audio stream by http using the MediaElement, however I need to access it via https in which I need to add the oAuth info to the header of the initial request.
How is this done when using a MediaElement, and if it cannot be done, what is the workaround for consuming an audio feed in Metro 8 that requires header authentication to stream?')
"Direct access to the underlying network stream is not currently permitted by the MediaElement. Because of this there is currently no way to modify the header of the HTTP request to include any additional authentication information. That said, you do have control over the URL. You could theoretically setup an HTTP proxy service that translated the HTTP GET request parameters into the necessary oAuth credentials. Keep in mind that this is just a theoretical workaround. You may find different behavior in practice. Another theoretical workaround would be to handle the oAuth yourself via a raw stream socket and pass the retuned media data to the MediaElement via "Set Source" and a "Random Access Stream". Please keep in mind that this method has major limitations. in order to use a "Random Access Stream" with the ME you need to make sure all of the data is available before passing it to the ME."
The proxy service is not scalable for an application that is merely distributed for free as every stream would need to come via the proxy. And the raw stream socket, although getting around this, would mean that playback could not start until the whole file had downloaded - and this goes against all current UX (User Experience) guidelines.
So once again, if anyone has any tips, or info about how the whole authentication thing can be achieved in a querystring instead of using headers, I'd appreciate it!
I'm a little confused about whether you're referring to a public or a private track? If it's a public track, then you shouldn't need to send any authentication information, just your client id.
When I request https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/31164607/stream?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID then I get a 302 redirect to the proper mp3 stream.
Remember, adding parameters to a URL must start with a ? not &. This could (more than likely) be the reason why you are getting a 401 (SC is not picking up the client_id).
After authentication the link like this
http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/103229681/stream?consumer_key=d61f17a08f86bfb1dea28539908bc9bf
is working fine. I am using Action Script.
I'm following up on Tom's reply because he calls attention to url character specificity. My HTTP requests randomly started failing today, and I was prefacing my client_Id with a ?. As soon as I changed that single ? to &, it started working. So in my case, SC wasn't picking up my client_Id because I used the wrong character. I think depending on where in the request we're talking about specifically, it's worth noting that differences between ? and & do make a difference.
I've a file I want to send to the ebay system to support the LMS.
All the samples I've found include the use of the API, but the environment I'm working in doesn't have the ability to use it (the api).
So I'm forced to send the file with an HTTP post. But the doc's seem lacking.
Has anyone constructed/found an example of a HTTP post that will send a given file.
EDIT:
Oh.. what I see in the samples I have found is an area that seems it's supposed to have the data, but in the sample, there's nothing I'd consider real data.
Are you talking about the file transfer service or the bulk upload service? Don't you just generate an xml document and post the url like in this example:
