Specifying content type in PUT requests? about httr HOT 11 CLOSED

I'd think you'd want:

  meta <- toJSON(list("title"=title, "description"=description, "type"=type))
  POST(request, config=session, body=meta, add_headers("Content-Type" = "application/json"))

from httr.

Ah, good idea. Unfortunately I'm getting the exact same error with this. Is there a way to see the literal POST request for debug purposes?

from httr.

The put request, you mean? Just add the verbose() config:

with_config(verbose(), figshare_create(...)

from httr.

hmm, I get this

< HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
* We are completely uploaded and fine
< HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
< Server: nginx/0.8.54

Looks to me that it's actually the authentication that failed? ("401 Unauthorized"). The same keys work fine when I try the ruby client not sure where I have gone wrong. Thanks for the advice

Is that the whole output? That's only what the server is sending back to you, not what you're sending to the server.

Otherwise, can you find the source code for that ruby method? It'll help to understand exactly what it's sending.

I left out the top of the output that has the keys, can email that to you.

Here's the entire ruby command (keys scubbed) which works fine

require 'oauth'
require 'json'

key = "qMXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
secret = "zQXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
token = "SrXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
secret_token = "yqIXXXXXXXXXX"


consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new(key, secret, {:site=>"http://api.figshare.com"})
token = { :oauth_token => token,
            :oauth_token_secret => secret_token 
        }
        client = OAuth::AccessToken.from_hash(consumer, token)

        body = JSON.generate('title'=>'Test dataset', 'description'=>'Test description', 'defined_type'=>'dataset')
        result = client.post('/v1/my_data/articles', body, {"Content-Type"=>"application/json"})

        print result.body

Hmmm, that looks equivalent to your R code. Can you email me the full output?

from httr.

The problem is this line in make_request:

    config <- c(config, signed$config)

because c.config doesn't have any logic for combining headers.

from httr.

Nice work, thanks. Staying tuned for the update and thanks again for all the help.

from httr.

Any thoughts on concatenating headers?

from httr.

Fantastic! you rock.
