Encoding issue using OpenUrlSecure

Thu, 13 Oct 2022 10:35:25 +0000

Hello Everyone,

I'm using an OpenUrlSecure to send a json content to an external application.
When the body of my request contain some accented character like é, è, à it make some bad character in the external application.

I think about an encoding problem
I've test the request with charset=UTF-8 in the headers, but the result is the same

I've try to call directly my external application with postman, using the same body, the same header, and there the result is OK, so the issue is not in the external application.

I'm in an 11.2, so i can't use the new OpenUrlSecureUtf8 fonction.

Have you any idea ?

Error 12044 in openUrl2/secure/secureUtf8 when Postman call is processed correctly

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 12:25:45 +0000

Dear all,

For a customer we are developing a link with Canopy Deploy. In Postman / PowerShell (Invoke-Webrequest) the request is processed correctly.

When trying it in the application with the same headers / data at the same machine the Efficy.openUrlSecure / Utf8 is receiving a 12044 A certificate is required to complete client authentication error. In openUrl2 the same: Message: "Cannot find web server "webhook.myclang.com"
Error Code: 12044

What could be wrong?

Best regards,

Rob

How to convert windows 1252 to UTF-8 ?

Fri, 10 Jun 2022 09:44:52 +0000

Hello,

I'm running into an issue regarding char encoding.

I'm making a Efficy.openUrlSecure(...) POST call to send JSON data to another system.
Data is from a Contact (name, firstname, email, ....) and my call is made in a afterCommit workflow. So all data is taken from database.

If I use a special char like "é" in sent data, the API send me an error :
Error 400. Response : Invalid UTF-8 middle byte 0x22 at...

Code used :

var toSend = JSON.stringify(data);
var headers = ["Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8", "Content-Length: " + toSend.length, "Host: xxx"];

var response = Efficy.openUrlSecure(url, toSend, headers.join("\n"), "POST");

After investigation, this error is caused by an invalid/illegal encoding (windows 1252 instead of UTF-8 which is standard for JSON).

When I check in detail what is sent, the request payload is in windows-1252.

Which brings it to my question : How can I convert my data in windows-1252 to UTF-8 without losing accentuated char ?

OpenUrlSecure timeout

Tue, 26 May 2020 08:39:03 +0000

Hi,
I use the openUrlSecure and like in edn, I try to add a timeOut integer but the response is always the same, the error below:
Message: ""TCoreSessionScriptAPI.OpenURLSecure" called with incorrect number of arguments (8)"
the efficy version is 11.3.21086.0 2020-05-04
If i remove the last param (timeout) is working.
But for this client i need a timeout in case of the service is down to display a message.
ex: var response = Efficy.openUrlSecure(url, soap envelope, header, '', '', '', '', 5000)

regards

OpenUrlSecure response isn't in UTF-8

Fri, 25 Jan 2019 16:15:08 +0000

Hi,

I'm working on a Rest API and run into a problem that my response from OpenUrlSecure isn't in UTF-8. So this means that accented letters aren't correctly displayed.
The request that I do is:

var wr = new WebRequest({
        url: this.options.datacollectiefUrl, 
        headers: "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8",
        complete: function(resp, req) {
            return resp;
        }
    });

    var send = function(method, path, data) {           
        return wr.send(data, path, method);
    }

    return send("GET", this.options.apiCommandsUrl.contSearch, format("?user=$0&password=$1&applicationName=$2&id=$3", this.options.licensename, this.options.licensepassword, this.options.appName, companyId));

Is there something that I can change on this request to make it return the response in UTF-8?

Best regards,
Jeroen

OpenUrlSecure How can I get the response body when not success

Tue, 11 Dec 2018 10:59:58 +0000

Hi,

apparently, the response.body of a openUrlSecure call is empty when the success != true.
is that a feature or an anomaly?

It seems that the body is well filled when success = true;

point is the api i am requesting send me an error message in the body (checked it with postman)

Do I have a way to workaround this?
