Solved: xml API problem with PHP

cate.derossi · ‎09-06-2017

Hi, I'm using xml API in php to insert a meeting in my application. I've taken the sample page available on the link

https://developer.cisco.com/site/webex-developer/develop-test/xml-api/sample-code/

unfortunately the result is always:

HTTP / 1.1 400 Bad Request

Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2017 07:25:38 GMT

Server: Apache

Content-Length: 28

Connection: close

Content-Type: text / html; charset = iso-8859-1

Http / 1.1 Service Unavailable

I think I have not realized which credentials are included in the webExID and password fields

I insert those with which I access my webwex site

mysite.webex.com

with which I also use the $ XML_SITE field

$XML_SITE="mysite.webex.com"

Can anyone help me to understand?

Thank you so much!

The sample code for PHP is faulty and no longer functional, it has a malformed header that is getting rejected (should have \r\n terminations and it does not).. here is a newer example that does not attempt to make its own HTTP Headers.

<?php
        header("Content-Type: text/xml");


        $sitename = "apidemoeu";        //Sitename is the subdomain of a WebEx URL. ex: sitename for https://apidemoeu.webex.com is apidemoeu
        $username = "username";
        $password = "password";


        $XML = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>";
        $XML .="<serv:message xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\">";
        $XML .="        <header>";
        $XML .="                <securityContext>";
        $XML .="                        <webExID>$username</webExID>";
        $XML .="                        <password>$password</password>";
        $XML .="                        <siteName>$sitename</siteName>";
        $XML .="                        <returnAdditionalInfo>TRUE</returnAdditionalInfo>";
        $XML .="                </securityContext>";
        $XML .="        </header>";
        $XML .="        <body>";
        $XML .="                <bodyContent xsi:type=\"java:com.webex.service.binding.site.GetSite\">";
        $XML .="                </bodyContent>";
        $XML .="        </body>";
        $XML .="</serv:message>";


        $request = stream_context_create(array("http"=>array("method"=>"POST","header"=>"Content-Type:text/xml","content"=>$XML)));


        $response = file_get_contents("https://$sitename.webex.com/WBXService/XMLService", false, $request);


        echo $response;
?>

Hi Hunt,

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, this code also returns an error:

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 2 at column 1: Additional content at the end of the document

Below is the rendering of the page up to the first error.

I copied your code and modified only the sitename, username and password parameters....

I can not really understand why!

Hi Hunt,

in the weekend I tried and tried .... I was able to turn on the connection, so I no longer have the error.

I'm using the following code:

<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<?php

$XML_PORT="443";

//user information

$UID = "myUserId"; // WebEx username

$PWD = "myPassword"; // WebEx password

$siteName= "MysiteName WebEx"; // SiteName

// Build XML request document

$d["XML"] = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>";

$d["XML"] .= "<serv:message xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchemainstance\"";

$d["XML"] .= "xmlns:serv=\"http://www.webex.com/schemas/2002/06/service\"";

$d["XML"] .= "xsi:schemaLocation=\"http://www.webex.com/schemas/2002/06/service";

$d["XML"] .= "http://www.webex.com/schemas/2002/06/service/service.xsd\">";

$d["XML"] .= " <header>";

$d["XML"] .= " <securityContext>";

$d["XML"] .= " <webExID>$UID</webExID>";

$d["XML"] .= " <password>$PWD</password>";

$d["XML"] .= " <siteName>$siteName</siteName>";

$d["XML"] .= " <returnAdditionalInfo>TRUE</returnAdditionalInfo>";

$d["XML"] .= " </securityContext>";

$d["XML"] .= " </header>";

$d["XML"] .= "<body>";

$d["XML"] .= "<bodyContent xsi:type=\"java:com.webex.service.binding.site.GetSite\">";

$d["XML"] .= "</bodyContent>";

$d["XML"] .= "</body>";

$d["XML"] .= "</serv:message>";

$URL = "https://" . $siteName. ".webex.com/WBXService/XMLService";

$Result = postIt($d,$URL,$XML_PORT);

if (isset($Result["errno"]))

{ // Unable to connect to server

$errno = $Result["errno"];

$errstr = $Result["errstr"];

echo "<hr><B>XML Server Connection Error: $errno </B>$errstr<hr>";

}

else

{ // Server connection made

echo "<br><b>XML Response document</b>";

// Output XML response document

echo("<pre>");

while (list($key, $val) = each($Result))

{

$transval=htmlspecialchars($val);

echo $transval;

}

echo "</pre>";

exit;

}

//

// postIt()

//

// POSTs the XML request document and calling user variables

// to the specified WebEx XML Server and receives

// an XML response document

//

function postIt($DataStream, $URL, $Port)

{

// Strip http:// from the URL if present

$URL = ereg_replace("^https://", "", $URL);

// Separate into Host and URI

$Host = substr($URL, 0, strpos($URL, "/"));

$URI = strstr($URL, "/");

// Form the request body

$ReqBody = "";

while (list($key, $val) = each($DataStream)) {

if ($ReqBody) $ReqBody.= "&";

$ReqBody.= $key."=".urlencode($val);

}

$ContentLength = strlen($ReqBody);

// Generate the request header

//"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n".

$Request =

"POST $URI HTTP/1.0\n".

"Host: $Host\n".

"User-Agent: PostIt\n".

"Content-Type: application/xml\n".

"Content-Length: $ContentLength\n\n".

"$ReqBody\n";

// Open the connection to the XML Server

$socket = fsockopen($Host, $Port, &$errno, &$errstr);

if (!$socket) { // Server connection error

$Result["errno"] = $errno;

$Result["errstr"] = $errstr;

return $Result;

}

$idx = 0;

// Send XML request request

fputs($socket, $Request);

// Process XML response

while (!feof($socket) && $Result[$idx-1] != "0\r\n")

{

if (substr($Result[$idx-1], 0, 2) == "0\r\n")

echo "The End:".strlen($Result[$idx-1]);

$Result[$idx++] = fgets($socket, 4096);

}

return $Result;

}

?>

</body>

</html>

The problem is that when I send the request the result is a blank page, if I do the dump I see that the response array has only one element with a Bool= False value ...

array(1) { [0]=> bool(false) }

I think I do not have access to my webex site correctly.

Can you help me understand what's going on?
