CC3220: How to use custom http header

Hi,

What return value is the customer getting from HTTPClient_setHeader? Also, our httpget demo uses HTTPClient_setHeader. It might help to see how it's used.

Hi Jesu,

Thanks for your quick reply.

HTTPClient_setHeader returns 0.
And HTTPClient_sendRequest returns 403: HTTP_SC_FORBIDDEN.
(when using emulator with stepping execution, HTTPClient_sendRequest returns -3003: HTTPClient_ERESPONSEINVALID)
Please see below customer code snippet.

// use HTTPClient_setHeader
#define HOSTNAME                "https://xxxxxxxxxx.com"
#define GET_MACHINE_INFO        "/pets/1"
#define API_SET_HEADER_AUTH     "x-api-key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\r\n"\
     "x-user-uuid: xxxxxxx"
#define API_SET_HEADER_ACCE     "application/json"

void* httpTask(void* pvParameters)
{

    bool moreDataFlag = false;
    char data[HTTP_MIN_RECV];
    int16_t ret = 0;
    int16_t len = 0;


    HTTPClient_Handle httpClientHandle;
    int16_t statusCode;

    // https enabling
    HTTPClient_extSecParams httpClientSecParams;

    httpClientSecParams.privateKey = NULL;
    httpClientSecParams.clientCert = NULL;
    httpClientSecParams.rootCa = "test-certificate.pem.crt";
    httpClientHandle = HTTPClient_create(&statusCode,0);

    ret =HTTPClient_setHeader(httpClientHandle,
                              HTTPClient_HFIELD_REQ_AUTHORIZATION ,
                              API_SET_HEADER_AUTH,strlen(API_SET_HEADER_AUTH),
                             HTTPClient_HFIELD_PERSISTENT);
    ret =HTTPClient_setHeader(httpClientHandle,
                              HTTPClient_HFIELD_REQ_CONTENT_TYPE ,
                              API_SET_HEADER_ACCE,strlen(API_SET_HEADER_ACCE),
                             HTTPClient_HFIELD_PERSISTENT);


    strcpy(t_Url,HOSTNAME);

    ret = HTTPClient_connect(httpClientHandle,t_Url,&httpClientSecParams,0);

    strcpy(t_BodyMsg_s,GET_MACHINE_INFO);
    ret = HTTPClient_sendRequest(httpClientHandle,HTTP_METHOD_GET,t_BodyMsg_s,
                               NULL,0,
                               0);

Customer also tried to use HTTPClient_setHeaderByName. Results are exactly the same.

//  use HTTPClient_setHeaderByName

#define HOSTNAME                "https://xxxxxxxxxx.com"
#define GET_MACHINE_INFO        "/pets/1"
#define API_SET_HEADER_AUTH     "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
#define API_SET_HEADER_UUID     "xxxxx"
#define API_SET_HEADER_ACCE     "application/json"

    ret = HTTPClient_connect(httpClientHandle,t_Url,&httpClientSecParams,0);

Thanks and regards,

Hi KoT,

I don't see any issues with the code and we know the request is getting send because the server acknowledged it. You should double check your header values to make sure they're correct. Also check if the server has additionally requirements or limitation. What server are you trying to contact?
