I need to use request.post for sending a value to a server.
The url is: http://192.168.0.100/control/thermostat.cgi?param=thermostat_manualsetpoint
Value to send as plain text: 2000
Until now I've tried something like this, but it's not working:
a button in the app that should POST the temperature value:
HEAT17 : { states: [{ label:'Heat:17°', action:'', icon:'fa-fire',
serverExecute:function(node){
var targetNow=0, modeNow='';
var thejson = '2000';
var param = 'thermostat_manualsetpoint';
exports.tstatRequest(param, thejson, node._id);
},
}],
breakAfter:true,
},
The function exports.tstatRequest is:
exports.tstatRequest = function(param, thejson, nodeId) {
//console.log('tstatRequest:' + JSON.stringify(thejson));
db.findOne({ _id : nodeId }, function (err, dbNode) {
var thermostatIP = dbNode.settings && dbNode.settings.ip ? dbNode.settings.ip : (exports.motes[dbNode.type].settings.ip || settings.radiothermostat.ip.value);
//console.log('URL: ' + 'http://'+thermostatIP+'/control/thermostat.cgi?param=' + param);
request.post({ url: 'http://'+thermostatIP+'/control/thermostat.cgi?param=thermostat_manualsetpoint', body:'2000'},
function(error,response,body){
console.log('BODY: ' + JSON.stringify(response));
if (error) console.log('ERROR in tstatRequest(): ' + JSON.stringify(thejson) + ' nodeId:' + nodeId + ' - ' + error);
else exports.tstatPoll(nodeId); //now ask for a refresh of status from thermostat (HTTP GET)
}
);
});
}
I've tried in Advanced REST Client and the post query works like this:

I try to make a Canva App with a publish extension.
I just follow the Quick start (https://docs.developer.canva.com/apps/extensions/publish-extensions/quick-start) with Glitch and it work well on it.
But when I try to put in on my own public host name, with a other port (like http://mydomaine.com:3000) Canva NEVER call my endpoint. I just write a log file of every action on my app post and I never get a update on it, and when I try the app on Canva.com it just show me a error message.
//Copy from the Quick Start
app.post('/publish/resources/upload', async (request, response) => {
try{
writeLog("Uploading file");
await fs.ensureDir(path.join(__dirname, 'export'));
// Get the first asset from the "assets" array
const [asset] = request.body.assets;
// Download the asset
const image = await jimp.read(asset.url);
const filePath = path.join(__dirname, 'export', asset.name);
await image.writeAsync(filePath);
// Respond with the URL of the published design
response.send({
type: 'SUCCESS',
url: url.format({
protocol: request.protocol,
host: request.get('host'),
pathname: asset.name,
}),
});
} catch (err) {
writeLog("ERROR (app.post('/publish/resources/upload'): " + err);
}
});
//Just log on the log file
function writeLog(log){
// fs.appendFile(path.join(__dirname, '/log/' + `${month}/${date}/${year}` +'log.txt'), dateDisplay + "|" + log + "\n", (err) => {
// if (err) throw err;
// });
var today = new Date();
var time = today.getHours() + ":" + today.getMinutes() + ":" + today.getSeconds();
var date = today.getFullYear() + '-' + (today.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + today.getDate();
var dateTime = date + ' ' + time;
natifFS.appendFile('log.txt', dateTime + '| '+ log + "\n", (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
});
}
Last thing, when I try to call a post request on the same endpoint as Canva (/publish/resources/upload) with Postman, I get a update on my log.txt file
If anyone has idea, thank you.
I have a simple node.js function with 2 REST API calls and a socket connection output hosted in an AWS lambda. It takes 5-10 secs warmup time and >3+ secs execution time.
When the code is run locally it executes both requests, socket connection and completes in about ~1300ms. Why is AWS more then double the execution time? I have set-timeout to 120seconds and memory at 128mb (default).
I appreciate the code is not very tidy; I am working on cleaning it but needed something going for the time being.
The project simply gets info from ServiceM8 via API when called by a webhook subscription, then formats the info into ZPL strings and forwards them to a tcp server for printing via thermal printer.
My questions are:
Is it my code bottle necking?
Can it be optimized to run faster?
Do i simply need to employ a warming plugin for my function to allow hot starting?
My function:
'use strict';

First of all, I would suggest you stop using the request module and switch to native. Everything can be done without a tons of lines these days. request is a module with 48 total dependencies; if you do the math, that's thousands of lines for a simple GET request.
You should always minimize the complexity of your dependencies. I use a Lambda to check the health of my sites, grabbing the whole request and checking the HTML on completely different servers. VPS is located in Frankfurt, AWS in Ireland. My ms/request is ranging between 100~150 ms.
Here's a simple promise request I'm using:
function request(obj, timeout) {
return new Promise(function(res, rej) {
if (typeof obj !== "object") {
rej("Argument must be a valid http request options object")
}
obj.timeout = timeout;
obj.rejectUnauthorized = false;
let request = http.get(obj, (response) => {
if (response.statusCode !== 200) {
rej("Connection error");
}
var body = '';
response.on('data', (chunk) => {
body += chunk;
});
response.on('end', () => {
res(body);
});
response.on('error', (error) => {
rej(error);
});
});
request.setTimeout(timeout);
request.on('error', (error) => {
rej(error);
})
request.on('timeout', () => {
request.abort();
rej("Timeout!")
})
});
}
Example
const reqOpts = {
hostname: 'www.example.com',
port: 443,
path: '/hello',
method: 'GET',
headers: {
handshake: "eXTNxFMxQL4pRrj6JfzQycn3obHL",
remoteIpAddress: event.sourceIp || "lambda"
}
}
try {
httpTestCall = await request(reqOpts, 250);
}
catch (e) {
console.error(e);
}
Now based on that change switch your handler to async using exports.handler = async(event, context, callback) => {} and use console to measure the execution time of every request using console.time() and console.timeEnd() for your request or anything. From there you could see what's stepping down your code using Cloudwatch logs. Here's another example based on your code:
let reqOpts = {
hostname: 'api.servicem8.com',
port: 443,
path: '/api_1.0/formresponse.json?%24filter=uuid%20eq%20' + strResponseUUID,
method: 'GET',
headers: {
// Use the temporary Access Token that was issued for this event
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + strAccessToken
}
}
console.time("=========MEASURE_servicem8=========")
let error = null;
await request(reqOpts, 5555).catch((e)=>{
error = e;
})
console.timerEnd("=========MEASURE_servicem8=========")
if (error){
callback(null, {err: "Unable to query form response records, received HTTP" + error}); /* or anything similar */
}

aws lambdas are not fast by nature (as of writing this answer). The startup time is not guaranteed, and it is known to be high.
If you need performance - you will not get it this way.

I want to send a notification to kaa server. The below cURL command is working fine but I want to send POST request from my node.js server. Kindly help me in converting to post request.
curl -v -S -u devuser:devuser123 -F'notification=
{"applicationId":"32769","schemaId":"32778","topicId":"32770","type":"USER"};
type=application/json' -F file=#notification.json "http://localhost:8080/kaaAdmin/rest/api/sendNotification" | python -mjson.tool
I tried like this:
var notificationValue= {"applicationId":"32769","schemaId":"32778","topicId":"32770","type":"USER"};
var file = 'notification.json';
var opts = {
url: 'http://localhost:8080/kaaAdmin/rest/api/sendNotification',
method: 'POST',
auth: { user: 'devuser', password: 'devuser123' },
json: true,
formData: {
notification: JSON.stringify(notificationValue),
file : fs.readFileSync(file)
}
};
request(opts, function(err, resp, body) {
if(err)
res.send(err);
else{
res.send(body);
}
});
I am getting: Error 400 Required request part 'notification' is not present.
Here is a solution.
First import next modules.
var fs = require('fs');
var request = require('request');
var crypto = require('crypto');
We need two utility functions to generate boundary for multipart content type and the other to build raw POST request body.
var CRLF = "\r\n";
var md5 = crypto.createHash('md5');
function multipartRequestBodyBuilder(fields, boundary) {
var requestBody = '';
for(var name in fields) {
var field = fields[name];
var data = field.data;
var fileName = field.fileName ? '; filename="' + field.fileName + '"' : '';
var type = field.type ? 'Content-Type:' + field.type + CRLF : '';
requestBody += "--" + boundary + CRLF +
"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"" + name + "\"" + fileName + CRLF +
type + CRLF +
data + CRLF;
}
requestBody += '--' + boundary + '--' + CRLF
return requestBody;
}
function getBoundary() {
md5.update(new Date() + getRandomArbitrary(1, 65536));
return md5.digest('hex');
}
function getRandomArbitrary(min, max) {
return Math.random() * (max - min) + min;
}
Then we form our data and generate the boundary.
var notificationValue = {
"applicationId":"2",
"schemaId":"12",
"topicId":"1",
"type":"USER"
};
var postData = {
notification : {
data : JSON.stringify(notificationValue),
type : "application/json"
},
file : {
data : fs.readFileSync("message.json"),
fileName : 'notification.json',
type : 'application/octet-stream'
}
}
var boundary = getBoundary();
After that compose a request and send to Kaa Server.
var opts = {
url: 'http://localhost:8080/kaaAdmin/rest/api/sendNotification',
method: 'POST',
auth: { user: 'devuser', password: 'devuser123' },
headers: {
'content-type': 'multipart/form-data; boundary=' + boundary
},
body : multipartRequestBodyBuilder(postData, boundary)
};
request(opts, function(err, resp, body) {
if(err) {
console.log("Error: " + err);
} else {
console.log("Satus code: " + resp.statusCode + "\n");
console.log("Result: " + body);
}
});
After all, you will see the confirmation response with status code 200.
Status code: 200
Result: {
"id" : "57e42623c3fabb0799bb3279",
"applicationId" : "2",
"schemaId" : "12",
"topicId" : "1",
"nfVersion" : 2,
"lastTimeModify" : 1474569763797,
"type" : "USER",
"body" : "CkhlbGxvAA==",
"expiredAt" : 1475174563793,
"secNum" : 17
}
I attach the file with whole code that I tested on Notification Demo from Kaa sandbox: send notification.

What it attempts to do is :
Open login page : http://testforum.yetanotherforum.net/login?returnurl=%2fcategory%2f1-Test-Category
Try to login using login name / password and then clicking the button.
Take a screenshot and Retrieve the cookies ( containing the auth data )
Currently it is getting stuck in step 2. It can populate the login and password box, but no kind of clicking or submitting the form is working.Basically it is stuck as shown:
(as you can see the login / password are filled correctly ).
By looking at step 2 ( Step 2 - Populate and submit the login form ) in my code, do you notice anything obvious? or am I doing something wrong in the page settings?
