Ruby Rest client POST, how to send headers

Question

Ruby rest client is not able to send headers, my java service is not able to read headers when I trigger post request from ruby as below. My Service layers throws error Header companyID is missing. When run the same http request in Postman it works.

response = RestClient::Request.new({ method: :post, url: 'https://example.com/submitForm', headers:{content_type: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', companyID:'Company1', Authorization:'Basic HELLO1234'}, payload: { data: str_res} }).execute do |response, request, result| case response.code when 400 [ :error, JSON.parse(response.to_str) ] when 200 [ :success, JSON.parse(response.to_str) ] puts request.headers else fail "Invalid response #{response.to_str} received." end end

Here is postman code that works. Need similar in Ruby Rest, pls advise.

POST /submitForm HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com companyID: Company1 Authorization: Basic HELLO1234 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Cache-Control: no-cache Postman-Token: 528cafa1-2b5d-13a1-f227-bfe0171a9437 data=My Own data

Should that be CompanyID ? you have companyID (and it looks like it might be case-sensitive) — Taryn East

Below worked. Looks like headers should be in same line.

payloadString = "data=My Own data" response = RestClient::Request.new({ method: :post, url: 'https://example.com/submitForm', payload: payloadString, headers: {content_type: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', companyID:'Company1', Authorization:'Basic HELLO1234'} }).execute do |response, request, result| case response.code when 400 [ :error, JSON.parse(response.to_str) ] when 200 [ :success, JSON.parse(response.to_str) ] else fail "Invalid response #{response.to_str} received." end end

Try using the RestClient post method:

result = RestClient.post( 'https://example.com/submitForm', payload, { content_type: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', companyID: 'Company1', Authorization: 'Basic HELLO1234' } )

Payload in this instance is a string, so you'll need to figure out the appropriate structure for application/x-www-form-urlencoded. For example:

payload.to_json => '{"data": "str_res"}'
