Making a gadget that makes a REST API call to an endpoint using the POST method. The initial call succeeds, however, it then seems to call some other function to refresh the gadget pane. This secondary call (makeXhrRequest()) tries to place params that I'm setting in the initial POST call into a finesse URL, which causes a "Missing or Malformed URL" error.
My custom functions are below, but it seems there is some secondary function call built into gadgets.io.makeRequest. I don't have further information right now. Is anyone familiar with gadgets.io.makeRequest?
postMetadata : function (loanIDManual, ct1, ct2, ct3, notes) {
var url = "http://<customEndpoint>/";
var loginName = user.getData().loginName;
clientLogs.log("loanIDManual = " + loanIDManual);
clientLogs.log("ct1 = " + ct1);
clientLogs.log("ct2 = " + ct2);
clientLogs.log("ct3 = " + ct3);
var contentBody = {
"acdServerId": "6",
"loginName": loginName,
"metadata": [
{
"name": "LoanIDManual",
"value": loanIDManual
},
{
"name": "call-outcome-l-1-key",
"value": ct1
},
{
"name": "call-outcome-l-2-key",
"value": ct2
},
{
"name": "call-outcome-l-3-key",
"value": ct3
},
{
"name":"notes-key",
"value": notes
}
]
};
clientLogs.log("Posting metadata to " + url);
clientLogs.log("Using " + contentBody);
makeRequest(url, {
method: 'POST',
contentType: "application/json",
content: JSON.stringify(contentBody, null, 4),
}, {
success: handleResponseSuccess,
error: handleResponseError,
});
clientLogs.log("postMetadata() complete.");
},
makeRequest = function (url, options, handlers) {
var params,
clientLogs.log("makeRequest()");
clientLogs.log("Header = " + options.contentType);
// Protect against null de-referencing of options & handlers allowing its (nonexistent) keys to be read as undefined
params = {};
options = options || {};
handlers.success = _util.validateHandler(handlers.success);
handlers.error = _util.validateHandler(handlers.error);
// Request Headers
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.HEADERS] = {"CUSTOM-KEY":"ROLE_USER"}
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.HEADERS] = {"Content-Type":"application/json"};
// HTTP method is a passthrough to gadgets.io.makeRequest
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.METHOD] = options.method;
if (options.method === "GET") {
// Disable caching for GETs
if (url.indexOf("?") > -1) {
url += "&";
} else {
url += "?";
}
url += "nocache=" + _util.currentTimeMillis();
}
// Add content type & body if content body is provided
if (options.content) {
// Content
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.POST_DATA] = options.content;
}
// Call the gadgets.io.makerequest function with the encoded url
clientLogs.log("makeRequest(): Making a REST API request to: " + url);
gadgets.io.makeRequest(encodeURI(url), handleResponse(handlers), params);
clientLogs.log("makeRequest() complete.");
},
