a icsv858 TSslHttpRest bug

[xauxag 0]

version icsv858

unit OverbyteIcsHttpProt

procedure THttpCli.GetHeaderLineNext;

Line 3056:   if Field = 'location' then begin { Change the URL ! }

 

I think is a bug,

Based on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/201

The HTTP 201 Created success status response code indicates that the request has succeeded and has led to the creation of a resource.

So with Fstatuscode = 201 , there can be a location line in the http header as a normal response

 

Here is a example,

when I send a post to the server,the server response with a location line, but it was taken as a redirection ,so ICS resend the post to the new llocation again :

 

Connected to: api-fxtrade.oanda.com
> POST /v3/accounts/001-004-********-002/orders HTTP/1.1

...
api-fxtrade.oanda.com SSL Connected OK with TLSv1.2, cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384, key auth RSA, key exchange DH, encryption AESGCM(256), message auth AEAD
...

< HTTP/1.1 201 Created

< Location: https://api-fxtrade.oanda.com/v3/accounts/001-004-******-002/orders/240
< RequestID: 42647542696837564
= https://api-fxtrade.oanda.com/v3/accounts/001-004-******-002/orders Redirected to: https://api-fxtrade.oanda.com/v3/accounts/001-004-******-002/orders/240
Connected to: api-fxtrade.oanda.com
> POST /v3/accounts/001-004-******-002/orders/240 HTTP/1.1

 

ResponseRaw:{"errorMessage":"POST not allowed for endpoint."}

 

I change the code to

 

if (Field = 'location') and (FStatusCode <> 201)  then begin { Change the URL ! }

 

The reponse is OK

 

So please check.

Thanks, 201 Created is used a lot with REST, the Location code already has lots of special cases and I guess we need another.

Further to my last comment, I'm not going to change the code at the moment.  If you specifically want to ignore the Location: header for an API request, set property FollowRelocation to false. 

 

This is what the TSslX509Certs component does making REST requests which return Location: headers for responses 201 and 409.
