not able to call a restfull method

[Rajeev Kumar]

Hi,

I am trying to write a client program to call a restfull GET with Basic authorization but it is giving 401 error (unauthorized client).

below is piece of code i am using:

var http = require('http');
var options = {
  host: 'taken.generate.url',
  port: 38080,
  path: 'oauth2-api/p/v1/token?scope=TMO_ID_profile%20associated_lines%20token_validation%20iam_account_lock_information%20billing_information%20permission%20offer&grant_type=client_credentials',
  authorization: 'Basic VHJ1c3RlZENsaWVudENSMjQ6enJCamZ6cWdESw==',
  method: 'GET'
};

http.request(options, function(res) {
  console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
  console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
  res.setEncoding('utf8');
  res.on('data', function (chunk) {
    console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
  });
}).end();

-------------------------------

when i am using shell script ,I am able to achieve this with success 200.

 $ curl -i -H 'Authorization: Basic VHJ1c3RlZENsaWVudENSMjQ6enJCamZ6cWdESw==' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' -H 'Accept: application/json' -X GET 'http://<IPADRRESS>:38080/oauth2-api/p/v1/token?scope=TMO_ID_profile%20associated_lines%20token_validation%20iam_account_lock_information%20billing_information%20permission%20offer&grant_type=client_credentials'


Please suggest where I am doing mistake in node.js file.

Thanks

authorization is not an option to the http library, but a header you send. Try

headers: {
Authorization: 'Basic VHJ1c3RlZENsaWVudENSMjQ6enJCamZ6cWdESw=='
},

in the options.

Also, please note that those credentials should have been throw-away ones. Decoded they are TrustedClientCR24:zrBjfzqgDK. You'll need to replace those credentials since they're compromised.
