[SOLVED] POST Requests are failing

TypeScript

    // Prepare and send the WhatsApp message
    $headers = [
        "Content-Type" => "application/json",
        "Accept" => "application/json",
    ];

    $data = [
        "from" => $_ENV["VONAGE_WHATSAPP_NUMBER"],
        "to" => $body["from"],
        "message_type" => "text",
        "text" => 'Hi there! You sent me: ' . $body["text"],
        "channel" => "whatsapp",
    ];

$client = new Client();
    $url = "https://messages-sandbox.nexmo.com/v1/messages";

    try {
        $response = $client->post($url, [
            "headers" => $headers,
            "json" => $data,
            "auth" => [
                $_ENV["VONAGE_API_KEY"],
                $_ENV["VONAGE_API_SECRET"]
            ],
        ]);

        if ($response->getStatusCode() === 200) {
            $result = json_decode($response->getBody(), true);
            return $context->res->json(["ok" => true]);
        } else {
            return $context->error("Error " . $response->getBody());
        }
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        return $context->res->json(["ok" => false], 500);
    }
};
?>

TL;DR

The user was experiencing issues with their POST requests failing. The problem was that there were errors preventing the post request from executing. Implementing try and catch blocks resolved the issue. The user also tried increasing the timeout and removing code incrementally to narrow down the problem, but the issue persisted. The user also made some changes to the code, but the problem still persisted. The solution suggested was to return json after the `$context->error` statement.

btw, it's helpful to include the language after the 1st 3 backticks to enable syntax highlighting

any errors or logs on that execution tab?

you can't return an error like:

TypeScript

return $context->error("Error " . $response->getBody());

yeah, I'm getting

TypeScript

An internal curl error has occurred within the executor! Error Msg: Operation timed out\nError Code: 500

I've updated the code:

TypeScript

<?php

require(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php');
require(__DIR__ . '/utils.php');

use \Firebase\JWT\JWT;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;

return function ($context) {

    throw_if_missing($_ENV, [
      'VONAGE_API_KEY',
      'VONAGE_API_SECRET',
      'VONAGE_API_SIGNATURE_SECRET',
      'VONAGE_WHATSAPP_NUMBER',
  ]);

    if ($context->req->method === 'GET') {
        return $context->res->send(get_static_file('index.html'), 200, [
            'Content-Type' => 'text/html; charset=utf-8',
        ]);
    }

    $body = $context->req->body;
    $headers = $context->req->headers;
    $token = (isset($headers["Authorization"])) ? explode(" ", $headers["Authorization"])[1] : "";


    try {
      $decoded = JWT::decode($token, $_ENV['VONAGE_API_SIGNATURE_SECRET'], ['HS256']);
      $context->log($decoded);
    } catch (Exception $e) {
      $context->error("JWT decoding error: " . $e->getMessage());
    }

    if (hash('sha256', $context->req->bodyRaw) !== $decoded['payload_hash']) {
      return $context->res->json([
        'ok' => false,
        'error' => 'Payload hash mismatch'
      ]);
    }

    try {
      throwIfMissing($context->req->body, ['from', 'text']);
    } catch ( Exception $e) {
      return $context->res->json([ "ok"=> false, "error"=> $e->getMessage()], 400);
    }

TypeScript


    $vonageApiKey = $_ENV['VONAGE_API_KEY'];
    $vonageAccountSecret = $_ENV['VONAGE_API_SECRET'];

    $basicAuthToken = base64_encode("$:$vonageAccountSecret");
    $headers = [
      'Content-Type:application/json',
      'Accept:application/json'
    ];

    $data = [
      'from' => $_ENV['VONAGE_WHATSAPP_NUMBER'],
      'to' => $context->req->body['from'],
      'message-type' => 'text',
      'text' => 'Hi there! You sent me: ' . $context->req->body['text'],
      'channel' => 'whatsapp'
    ];
    $client = new Client();
    $url = "https://messages-sandbox.nexmo.com/v1/messages";

    try {
        $response = $client->post($url, [
            "headers" => $headers,
            "json" => $data,
            "auth" => [
                $_ENV["VONAGE_API_KEY"],
                $_ENV["VONAGE_API_SECRET"]
            ],
        ]);

        if ($response->getStatusCode() === 200) {
            $result = json_decode($response->getBody(), true);
            return $context->res->json(["ok" => true]);
        } else {
            return $context->error("Error " . $response->getBody());
        }
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        return $context->res->json(["ok" => false], 500);
    }
}

I still see return $context->error("Error " . $response->getBody());

I did fix it but still getting the same error. Is it related to syntax?

maybe. or maybe it's a network problem.

you should probably return json after $context->error("JWT decoding error: " . $e->getMessage());

i'm a bit confused because if it was a network problem the get request should not be fulfilled right? but only the post request is failing

oh, i'll check

I mean network problem between the runtime container and nexmo causing a timeout

hm 🤔

there should be a way to resolve this if that's the case

still on the same error

Maybe increase the timeout? Maybe remove code until it works and then incrementally add so you can narrow down where the problem is?

Increased timeout results in

TypeScript

Operation timed out after 30001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received with status code 0\nError Code: 0

I think i should probably track down the code as you suggested

that'd be better

Update:

Issue Resolved ✅

what was the problem?

there were a bunch of errors that were preventing the post request from executing, Implementing try and catch blocks instead resolved the issue
