[drakma-devel] redirect in http-request
by Xiangjun Wu 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hi, All, I'm building a oauth library with drakma, oauth specification need every request is signed with its token and token secret in additional-headers, but it also need a unique timestamp and nonce(a random string). It is OK when there is not redirect, but http-request will use the same additional-headers in the redirect request, so oauth server throw an error: "Invalid nonce/timestamp: This nonce has been used ..." I think there are two solutions, one is there is a option that http-request do not automatically follow redirect, the other is http-reqeust evaluate the additional-headers again when redirecting. Is it acceptable, thank you in advance. Plato Wu 片云天共远永夜月同孤

[drakma-devel] GET :PARAMETERS added again during redirects
by Eugene Ossintsev 12 Nov '09

I use DRAKMA 1.0, Clozure CL 1.4-dev (Ubuntu Linux x86). According to the DRAKMA documentation, parameters is an alist of name/value pairs (the car and the cdr each being a string) which denotes the parameters which are added to the query part of the URI or (in the case of a POST request) comprise the request body. In my example QUOTES1 sends a GET request passing the request parameters in the URI, and QUOTES2 uses the :PARAMETERS instead. The results, unfortunately, are not the same. (defun quotes1 () (multiple-value-bind (body code) (drakma:http-request "http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=XIC.TO&f=sxl1d1t1") (when (= code 200) (split-sequence:split-sequence #\, body)))) ("\"XIC.TO\"" "\"Toronto\"" "18.03" "\"10/9/2009\"" "\"3:59pm\" ^M ") <=== It's fine :-) (defun quotes2 () (multiple-value-bind (body code) (drakma:http-request "http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv" :method :get :parameters '(("s" . "XIC.TO") ("f" . "sxl1d1t1"))) (when (= code 200) (split-sequence:split-sequence #\, body)))) ("\"XIC.TO\"" "\"Toronto\"" "18.03" "\"10/9/2009\"" "\"3:59pm\"" "\"XIC.TO\"" "\"XIC.TO\"" "\"XIC.TO\"" "\"Toronto\"" "18.03" "\"10/9/2009\"" "\"3:59pm\" ^M \"XIC.TO\"" "\"Toronto\"" "18.03" "\"10/9/2009\"" "\"3:59pm\"" "\"XIC.TO\"" "\"XIC.TO\"" "\"XIC.TO\"" "\"Toronto\"" "18.03" "\"10/9/2009\"" "\"3:59pm\" ^M ") <=== It's a mess :-( TRACE DRAKMA:HTTP-REQUEST shows that in case of redirects of GET requests the parameters from :PARAMETERS are added again to the URI. Thus, the same parameters may be added again and again, giving unpredictable results. 0> Calling (DRAKMA:HTTP-REQUEST "http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv" :PARAMETERS (("s" . "XIC.TO") ("f" . "sxl1d1t1"))) 1> Calling (DRAKMA:HTTP-REQUEST #<URI http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=XIC.TO&f=sxl1d1t1> :REDIRECT 4 :STREAM NIL :ADDITIONAL-HEADERS NIL :PARAMETERS (("s" .

If not, is it worth fixing it? - Eugene
