ARI/http server log

Asterisk Asterisk APIs

I am trying to debug a problem which my ARI calls /ari/asterisk/info and fails with “invalid method” message. But only when called from my C code, but works fine called from command line with curl. When my C program runs it generates the output below in the Asterisk CLI. It would appear that the ARI is correctly parsing the URL to find the info command. Does anyone see a problem below?

So why is Asterisk returning “invalid method” ? One clue…when I use curl the last line above is replaced with:

[2024-03-17 16:33:55] DEBUG[1538427]: http.c:568 ast_http_send: HTTP keeping session open.  status_code:200
[2024-03-17 16:33:55] DEBUG[1538427]: http.c:2015 httpd_helper_thread: HTTP closing session.  Top level

Notice the 200 instead of 405 code!? I’m sending the correct credentials…so 405 error (method not allowed) doesn’t make sense. I’m confused about what Asterisk is trying to tell me.

Method not allowed indicates it isn’t a credentials problem.

I didnt think so…but I’m left scratching my head. I print out the URL and it exactly matches what I pass to CURL.

The curl command is:

curl -v -u myun:mypw "http://172.31.254.14:8088/mycommand"

Is there some header I need to add to the post?

Ok solved it…simple yet not obvious from the error message.

I was using POST method, I should have been using GET method.
