save a post request with fiddler script OnBeforeRequest event? - post

For testing purpose
i would use this code to pause a post request with customizerules.js file
static function OnBeforeRequest(oSession: Session)
{
if (oSession.HTTPMethodIs("POST") && (oSession.utilFindInRequest("mykeyword", true) > -1)){
oSession["x-breakrequest"] = "keyword";
// i need to save the post request to file here
}
}
Is there anything

It's not clear what you're asking. Your x-breakrequest Session flag suffices to set a request breakpoint for the specified request.
If you'd like to further save the request body to a file, you could do something like:
File.WriteAllBytes("C:\\temp\\" + oSession.id.ToString() + " .txt",
oSession.requestBodyBytes);
Keep in mind that this saves the original request body, not including any modifications the user may have made to the body while the request was paused at the breakpoint.

Cypress unable to save current URL with `as`

My web app generates a UUIDv4 for every new 'post', and each post has its own URL like /posts/<uuid>. I'm not able to predict what uuid gets generated, and therefore I'm unable to go back to a specific post that was created earlier during testing.
According to the docs, cy.url() returns the URL as a string. I tried saving the URL using a .as(), but it didn't work:
cy.url().as('postUrl');
// go somewhere else
cy.visit('#postUrl');
// ends up visiting `localhost:3000/#postUrl`
I saw in another SO question that I should use .then on cy.url(), but that didn't work either:
cy.url().then(url => url).as('postUrl');
// go somewhere else
cy.visit('#postUrl');
How do I save the current URL for use later?
Found the answer buried in later pages of a google search. In order to use the saved URL, use cy.get('#postUrl') and call a .then with a callback that visits that url.
cy.url().as('postUrl');
// go somewhere else
cy.get('#postUrl').then(url => {
cy.visit(url);
}
var currentUrl=''
cy.url().then(url => {
currentUrl = url;
});
cy.visit(currentUrl)

Planner/Task endpoint not certain when PATCH data gets updated

I was trying to use the planner endpoint on version 1 of the graph. The main goal for me is to update the status of a task and decide whether it is ‘completed’ or ‘to do’. The first thing I do is to get all tasks from myself. See the endpoint below:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/planner/tasks
function plannerCompleteTask(id, etag) {
var specialEtag = etag.replace(/\\/g, "");
var deferred = $q.defer();
var endpoint = config.baseGraphApiUrl + 'planner/tasks/' + id;
var data = {
"percentComplete": "100"
};
var configRest = {
headers: {
"content-type": "application/json",
"If-Match": specialEtag
}
}
//"completedDateTime": "2018-02-15T07:56:25.7951905Z",
$http.patch(endpoint, data, configRest).then(function (result) {
console.log('log code', result);
deferred.resolve(result.status);
});
return deferred.promise;
}
I will create the following request
This will return a status: 204 with no content.
If I rerun the query with a "percentageCompleted: 0" in the body I get the following error.
Also If I try to log the request I get back from the AJAX call it doesn't give me back anything. As if there is no error handling being send back. I would need this because I have to reload the data in my application; but right now my code runs before the changes on the graph get completed, yet it returns a 204 status.
So I am clueless to find out when the call doesn't work or to find out when it is finished. Did anyone faced this issue before?
Thanks for reading and any help would be much appreciated. Cheers!
I think what you are looking for is the "prefer" header. If in your patch request you provide the "prefer" header with value "return=representation", the result of the patch will be final task data, including the new etag, with 200 status code, instead of default behavior of returning 204 "no content" status code.
Write operations in Planer are asynchronous. So, when possible, you should always update your local data based on the results of write operations with the prefer header, instead of reading them again.
In your requests, since you are reading the data before the task update is complete, essentially you are updating the same state of the task to be completed and not completed at the same time, which is the reason for the conflict.

Google realtime Model update onFileLoad

I see that the workflow is to start authrorizer, giving it file loader. So, we have a sequence of callbacks, onAuthrorized => start loading file => doc.getModel() on file load. Here they say how you get the model. But, I also see that gapi.drive.realtime.load(fileId, onFileLoaded, initializeModel, handleErrors) can elso end up with TOKEN_REFRESH_REQUIRED and it seems that TOKEN_REFRESH_REQUIRED can fire after the document is loaded, after some time of user inactivity, which seems to be related with token expiration. How should re-authorization to go? Should I tell the client that the current model that he is connected to is invalid? Please note that my app starts on file load. So, if I go the whole stack re-authorization, which calls another file load, which calls another document loaded will re-start my application. Is it supposed way to go? To put in other words, is there a way to refresh the token without loosing existing connection?
Where is the token stored actually? I do not see that I receive it on authorized. It is not passed to the realtime.load. How does realtime.load knows about the token? How can I speed up the token expiration for debug?
I am still not sure that this is a right answer but this is what I have got looking at code here, which says that we should provide empty callback to re-authorize
/**
* Reauthorize the client with no callback (used for authorization failure).
* #param onAuthComplete {Function} to call once authorization has completed.
*/
rtclient.Authorizer.prototype.authorize = function(onAuthComplete) {
function authorize() {
gapi.auth.authorize({client_id: rtclient.id, scope: ['install', 'file'],}, handleAuthResult)
}
function handleAuthResult(authResult) {
if (authResult && !authResult.error) {
hideAuthorizationButton() && onAuthComplete()
} else with (authorizationButton) {
display = 'block' ;
onclick = authorize;
}
}
You call it first use it in a function to load your document
(rtclient.authorizer ? rtclient.authorizer = identity : rtclient.authorize) (proceedToLoadingTheFile)
But later, on timeout we have code
function handleErrors(e) { with(gapi.drive.realtime.ErrorType) {switch(e.type) {
case TOKEN_REFRESH_REQUIRED: rtclient.authorizer.authorize() ; break
case CLIENT_ERROR: ...
Note no arguemnts in the latter. Authorizer won't reload the document. I think that this explains the logic asked. However, it does not answer about the internals, how is it possible that loader takes on existing authorizer or switches to a new one.

FacebookRealtimeUpdateController Override Post and return 'OK'

Using Mvc.Facebook.Realtime the FacebookRealtimeUpdateController provides a process for handling user events (HandleUpdateAsync) , but not for page events.
Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.Facebook.Realtime Namespace
I have managed to process page events by overriding the 'POST'
Public Overrides Function Post() As Task(Of Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage)
Dim content = Request.Content
Dim jsonContent As String = content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result
Dim ConvertedJson As RealTimeEvent = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Of RealTimeEvent)(jsonContent)
' Do something with the page events
Return MyBase.Post
End Function
However Facebook resends all events immediately , which I believe is because I am not returning a '200 OK' back to Facebook. (See quote)
First you'll need to prepare the page that will act as your callback URL. This URL will need to be accessible by Facebook servers, and be able to receive both the POST data that is sent when an update happens, but also accept GET requests in order to verify subscriptions.
This URL should always return a 200 OK HTTP response when invoked by Facebook.
I wiresharked my server and I do not see a 200 OK HTTP response, so I believe this something to do with the way I am overloading the post.
Can I somehow return an OK response from my overridden function or maybe it would be better to drop the whole Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.Facebook.Realtime solution and just handle the Subscription GETs and Posts from facebook myself?
Update: I turned off "only my own code' and I can see an exception occurring in the AspNet.MVC.Facebook.dll.
So new question, How do I isolate this exception?
For others looking.
The issue was actually the HandleUpdateAsync function which must be overridden. This is fired after the 'Post'
If you don't return a valid task the exception is thrown inside AspNet.MVC.Facebook.dll and Facebook is never given a 200 OK.
I was using This blog on how to use the FacebookRealtimeUpdateController but in that version the 'HandleUpdateAsync' does not return a task and the processing is done in the function.
So by creating a task that does nothing , everything appears to be working fine.
Public Overrides Function HandleUpdateAsync(notification As ChangeNotification) As Task
Dim newtask As New Task(New System.Action(Sub()
Dim x As String = ""
End Sub))
Return newtask
End Function
Edit: But it creates a massive memory leak which cannot be cleared even with recycling..
So the real solution is to just create your own controller and forget the FacebookRealtimeUpdateController completely.
Very easy to do and saves allot of hassle!

Sending a list of HttpRequest(s) to the same URL

When I write this Dart code :
for(int i=0;i<nbAleas;i++){
HttpRequest request=new HttpRequest();
// end of request event
request.onReadyStateChange.listen((_) {
if (request.readyState == HttpRequest.DONE &&
(request.status == 200 || request.status == 0)) {
handleResponse(request.responseText);
}
});
// error event
request.onError.listen((Object error)=>handleError(error));
// method and url
request.open("GET", urlServiceRest);
// send the request
request.send();
}
the request is sent only once. I verified it on the server. If I modify the opening like this :
request.open("GET", urlServiceRest, async:false);
it works. Why should the requests be synchronous ?
Also, the above requests are made to the same URL with the same parameters, for example "localhost:8080/random/10/20". If I send to async requests to this URL, only one is sent as said above. If for the second request, I change some parameters "localhost:8080/random/11/21", the two async requests are sent.
Can anyone explain this strange behavior ? Thanks in advance.
The same GET requests will definitely be a candidate for caching by the browser. In addition to appending some random junk to the URL, you could try switching to POST requests; which are not cacheable unless the response includes appropriate Cache-Control or Expires header fields.
