[groovy-user] RESTClient - HTTP 400 Bad Request Error - "{"error":{"cause":"INVALID_REQUEST","explanation":"Character encoding has not been specified"},"result":"ERROR"}"
Calvin Thomas
Hello,
I’m new to using Groovy and am looking to do a HTTP Request using the REST client to post data, unfortunately I cannot currently get it to work. I’ve added some logging as described on the REST client page (see below) but still cannot work out how to resolve the problem.
A little background – I’m trying to create a simple application that submits a post request, using rest into the API for tnspayments (a company who handle credit card payments), the code I am using is as follows (I recognise I’m not doing anything with the response).
String sendTransaction(String data, Merchant merchant) throws Exception {
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Transaction.class)
PropertyConfigurator.configure("src/log4j.xml")
RESTClient http = new RESTClient(merchant.gatewayHost)
http.auth.basic('', merchant.password)
try {
path:merchant.gatewayUrl,
body:data,
requestContentType: JSON) {
resp -> println "working"
}
}
catch(HttpResponseException ex) {
println ex.response.data
}
}
I know that all of my parameters (merchant.gatewayHost, merchant.password, merchant.gatewayUrl and data) are as I would expect them to be (I’m rewriting in to groovy from a rather ugly, but working example written in JSPs)
Log4J is giving me the following (with some of the data changed to X’s where necessary) – hence the error in the title, can anyone tell me how I’d resolve this error? I don’t seem to be able to specify the Character encoding

Thank you very much! That's got me past that error - I couldn't for the life of me find how to actually specify that and that has removed the error. I've got another error now of "Request does not match any supported operation", but I suspect that is most likely a mistake in my JSON request string rather than a problem with my Groovy RESTClient code.
Many thanks again for your help.
Kind Regards,

The response says it's missing a character encoding. Try adding this arg to the post() parameters:
headers:['Content-Type':'application/json; charset=utf-8']
