Why is my webhook POST data empty?

[Dave Albert]

I am testing out webhooks from RunDeck using version: 2.2.1-1

My webhook URLs are like: http://localhost:5000   OR   http://localhost:5000?id=${execution.id}&status=Start

Using either URL I receive a POST request, but the POST data is empty.  The GET data is received without issue.

Am I missing a configuration option somewhere?  I don't see in the documentation a place to specify what data is sent.

Thanks,

  Dave

Hi Dave,

The webhook POST content is mentioned in the User Guide here http://rundeck.org/docs/manual/jobs.html#execution-notification-content . It is a text/xml document with a <notification> element containing the <execution> data from the API: http://rundeck.org/docs/api/index.html#listing-running-executions

I'm not sure why you don't see the POST data.  You can try to test against a service like http://requestb.in/, or a simple way is to just use netcat to listen on a port, like `nc -l 5000`, and then set the url to http://localhost:5000

If you're still not seeing and request body data, do you see any error messages in the rundeck service log?

Hi Greg,

  Thanks very much, it was indeed posting the XML data.  The web server was apparently just discarding it.  Thanks for telling me about http://requestb.in/ very handy indeed.

Kind Regards,

Hi, I need help with webhook, where can I write the XML information of Webhook response ? I think it's not in the WebGui, where I can just can set the URL of notification server, but I don't see where I can do this ?

Thank you !
