2019-03-16 13:05:43 UTC - Perry Dykes: @Rodric Rabbah @Carlos Santana Thanks
for feedback, I have a working http web action method based on Node.js working
for test, in fact, the code is very simple to read an xml data stream as
suggested for testing:
```
function main(args) {
decoded = new Buffer(args.__ow_body, 'base64').toString('utf-8')
// console.log("incoming text block", decoded);
return {
body: decoded,
headers: {
"Content-type" : "application/json"
},
"statusCode" : 200
};
}
```
Two questions to you or others.
a) I am able to call the function, and per the docs can provide or not require
the authentication token. I have tested, the action HTTP POST .http method
work(ed). However, some time layer say an hour or two, or this morning when
calling the actions direct endpoint. I receive this:
```
{
"code": "7244652a790dc6dcbd00bda91ade0c2d",
"error": "Authentication is possible but has failed or not yet been provided."
}
```
b) Secondly, the api gateway when enabed has trouble with code when sent to
action (using curl -v shows it uploads the xml just fine), but the mapping from
the api gateway to the http action fails out:
```
> POST /9374cde5-255f-41b2-ba73-dba0d0ce4eab/api/v1/mvs/cisco_test HTTP/1.1
> Host: 0d9d6615.eu-de.apiconnect.appdomain.cloud

```
Thoughts on some basic misunderstandings here?

2019-03-16 13:12:26 UTC - Carlos Santana: Inspect the apigateway swagger
config, you can export with “ibmcloud fn api get <basepath>”

2019-03-16 13:13:43 UTC - Carlos Santana: Does invoking directly to the
webaction url “ibmcloud fn action get <action> —url” works ? If it works
then is a missconfig on the apigateway

2019-03-16 13:36:38 UTC - Perry Dykes: Ok, had to let my build finish on same
system, for my test action work to evaluate usefulness of CF:
ibmcloud cloud-functions action get
/IBMSystemsSupport_dev/tss_mvs/CiscoTestXMLFeed
```
{
"namespace": "IBMSystemsSupport_dev/tss_mvs",
"name": "CiscoTestXMLFeed",
"version": "0.0.1",
"exec": {
"kind": "nodejs:10",
"binary": false
},
"annotations": [
{
"key": "web-export",
"value": true
},
{
"key": "raw-http",
"value": true
},
{
"key": "final",
"value": true
},
{
"key": "require-whisk-auth",
"value": "34a99224-6054-489f-b3f2-d6bc2eeecf63"

}
],
"limits": {
"timeout": 60000,
"memory": 256,
"logs": 10
},
"publish": false
}
```
When I add the -url I get "supplied authentication is invalid, event though
using my API key i use for all other IBM cloud interactions.
Looking to see how to set the xml data file in the cli, one sec. No GET
operation defined, I can make one, but working with XML post via api gateway to
CF was my main problem area.

2019-03-16 13:46:03 UTC - Perry Dykes: I typically rely on the UI at this
point, if there is something the UI can't do, but the cli can or does
differently, maybe that is my issue. Key thing is the auth seems to "go away"
after a while on the base actions .http support. I tried recreating the whole
action and then it worked again, and then this morning, get the auth issue.
API Gateway integration then is an issue. I will add a GET operation, that
could help debug some of this vs. having to worry about POST/xml, thanks, good
idea.

2019-03-16 14:23:17 UTC - Carlos Santana: If the webaction works invoking
directly via .htto and you suspect is problem with apigateway service or
intermittent then don’t hesitate to open a support ticket

----
2019-03-16 16:47:35 UTC - Perry Dykes: I can try the support issue tact, but
basic question, why would an .http/default action entry uri come back with an
authentication error as shown? In latest docs, clearly states web action can
be used without authentication, yet, sometime after I create an action, enable
the webaction/http handling, I get that error. It seems to be a time issue.
Anyway, love this stuff and the architecture, just wrestling how to apply and
transform based to our cloud foundry pathways.

2019-03-16 16:50:15 UTC - Carlos Santana: apigateway will call the webaction
with that value, but who ever calls the apigateway doesn't have to provide a
value, basically is the contract between the apigateway and the webaction url

2019-03-16 18:36:13 UTC - Perry Dykes: Ah, so when I test to see why the api
gateway does not seem to call the http method (by enabling it), basically i'm
securing the action so direct calls non-auth function is deactivated. The UI
setup process establishes that at API gateway config setup.
