POST makeRequest fails with errorCode="internalError"

Reply Contact

Here's my code:

var params = {}
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.METHOD] = gadgets.io.MethodType.POST;
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.CONTENT_TYPE] = gadgets.io.ContentType.TEXT;
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.POST_DATA] = gadgets.io.encodeValues(data); // data is a json object string
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.AUTHORIZATION] = gadgets.io.AuthorizationType.SIGNED;

gadgets.io.makeRequest(typeracerUrl, requestTyperacerIframeCallback, params);

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

I am seeing this as well.

            var url = "http://www.mogreet.com/send/vip/45/";
            var params = {};
             params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.METHOD] = gadgets.io.MethodType.POST;
            params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.CONTENT_TYPE] = gadgets.io.ContentType.DOM;

           params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.POST_DATA] = { foo : 'bar' };
            //params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.POST_DATA] = sendFormData;
              gadgets.io.makeRequest(url, makeRequest_Callback, params);

The result returned to the browser is the error page from the Myspace web server:...

<html>    <head>  <title>Runtime Error</title>

        <style>

         body {font-family

....etc.

If I change the POST to GET (nothing else changes) it does not crash, but of course I lose my post variables.

Any thoughts?

My code is working like so:

var p = {};
p[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.METHOD] = gadgets.io.MethodType.POST;
// post_data is a query_string, ie foo=bar&baz=url%20encoded
p[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.POST_DATA] = post_data;
p[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.AUTHORIZATION] = gadgets.io.AuthorizationType.SIGNED;

gadgets.io.makeRequest(url, callback, p);

This succeeds, and I can verify the signature correctly.

My guess is that MySpace is ignoring your content type and attempting to sign your POST data, when instead they should only sign POST data with a content type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded (ie, the query string style that I'm sending).

Refer to: http://oauth.net/core/1.0/#rfc.section.9.1.1

You could try urlencoding it and passing it down as a string (omitting content_type):

Instead of:

{data:'urlencoded'}

pass:

json=%7Bdata%3A%27urlencoded%27%7D

And then parse it as a parameter string and urldecode the json parameter.

Hope that works.
