Auth.gettoken and Angular Ionic
By amaisonneuve
Hi, i've been struggling with the basic attempt to log into elgg from my iOS app.. i'm using ionic and angular.
what on earth am i doing wrong? running elgg 2.3.5
I see two calls going out, the first returns:
{"status":-1,"message":"auth.gettoken must be called using 'POST'"}
the second response i get is:
"Response {_body: "{"status":-1,"message":"Missing parameter username in method auth.gettoken"}", status: 200, ok: true, statusText: "OK", headers: Headers, …}"
login(credentials) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
let headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Authorization','Bearer ');
let options = new RequestOptions({headers: headers});
var jsonMSG = '';
for (var prop in credentials) {
jsonMSG += encodeURIComponent(prop) + '=' +
encodeURIComponent(credentials[prop]) + '&';
}
// this.http.post(apiUrl+'auth.gettoken', JSON.stringify(credentials), {headers: headers})
this.http.post(apiUrl+'auth.gettoken', jsonMSG.substring(0, jsonMSG.length - 1), options)
.subscribe(res => {
console.log(res);
resolve(res.json());
}, (err) => {
console.log(err);
reject(err);
});
});
}

You must log in to post replies.I am not exactly sure how ionic prepares the request, but a) you have a typo in your Content Type header, b) it seems you are sending a url encoded string in POST body. Elgg is not able to access your variables.
1) Either send a POST request with multiplart/form-data content type and put your variables into the form data boundaries,
or 2) Send a POST request, but put your varialbles into the URL's query string, as if you were sending a GET request
Elgg uses Symfony's HTTP foundation, so you may find some more info their docs on how to build a proper HTTP request that is understood by Elgg.
