Warning on post that returns no data

sebby · April 26, 2020, 4:53pm

@rigpapa, i have a reactor that calls a POST request on another machine on my network to set some motion detection settings. the POST commands are working just fine, but the reactor is always in a warning state. it seems that the post call does not return anything, so i get this in the event summary:

2020-04-24 22:43:10: Request action: POST http://UID:PASS@10.99.99.99:99/camerasettings
2020-04-24 22:43:10: { dev=155, warning="[string \"--[[...\"]:2561: attempt to get length of local 'respBody' (a number value)", scene="grpql4n78r.true", sceneName="grpql4n78r.true", index=2, event="runscene", group=1 }

Not a huge issue since things are working, but thought i’d let you know.

What version of Reactor are you running?

What HTTP status is it returning? That’s in the Events section of the logic summary.

sebby · April 27, 2020, 12:20pm

in the logic summary i don’t see a status. I see these:

the 303 status above makes me think it’s redirecting to a response, but when i do the same request via Postman, it returns a 200 (see image)

rigpapa · April 27, 2020, 12:58pm

Can you re-run the request is Postman and show the response headers instead of the request headers?

sebby · April 27, 2020, 1:17pm

rigpapa · April 27, 2020, 8:48pm

OK. Nothing conclusive. I was hoping to point you to a better URL. I fixed the error, but that’s not going to stop the request from being flagged as trouble because of the HTTP response code.

sebby · April 28, 2020, 1:11am

Yeah, it’s what I figured, just wanted to let you know. Things seem to be working correctly even with the warning, so not an issue at all. I honestly though you would discard the response if I selected the (ignore/discard response) option in the action. Anyhoo, since it is working I wouldn’t waste any time on it. Cheers.
