Is there a way to execute XHR Requests via VS Code Extension? - vscode-extensions

I am building a VS Code extension and in that, I need to execute an XHR Request to my server to fetch some data.
I tried using this in my code :
function loadDoc() {
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
vscode.window.showInformationMessage(this.responseText);
}
};
xhttp.open("GET", "https://reqres.in/api/users?page=2", true);
xhttp.send();
}
but it is showing an error :
Any idea, how can I achieve my goal?

XMLHttpRequest and fetch are only available in the browser. vsCode is node.js based. Use Axios instead. How can I make a POST request in a VSCode extension

Shutdown Kodi with api (blackberry qml)

Hello I trying shutdown Kodi (raspberry pi) with mobile app (blackberry qml).
But I do not how.
I used this code: (in browser)
"http://[myip]:[myport]/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"System.Suspend","id":1}"
I used this code: (in the app)
function sendRequest() {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
var url = "http://[myip]:[myport]/jsonrpc?request={\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\": \"System.Suspend\",\"id\":1}"
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState === XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
if (xhr.status === 200) {
console.log(xhr.responseText);
textArea.text = xhr.responseText;
}
}
};
xhr.open("GET", url, true); // with "POST" I got the same problem.
xhr.send();
}
I got:
{"error":{"code":-32700,"message":"Parse error."},"id":null,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}
Remote from web browser works fine (http://[myip]:[myport])
Thank you for your answers.
********** Update: 21.10.2020 **********
I'm in progress. But I don't know what to do next.
I found some information why I have an error.
I don't know how to implement in my code.
Can you help me?
Thank you so much.

Here's how to do it.But I can't understand it.
https://retifrav.github.io/blog/2018/09/01/kodi-remote-control-app/
This is my function (on Kodi 17.6 it is working but on Kodi 18 is not working )
function sendRequest() {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState === XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
if (xhr.status === 200) {
text.text = xhr.responseText
}
}
};
var url = 'http://<IP:PORT>/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "System.Shutdown"}'
xhr.open("GET", url, true) // when I write "POST" - nothing happens
xhr.send()
}
You should URL encode the json in your url before it's used in the open method. Use encodeURIComponent() to do that. Your browser is changing:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method": "System.Suspend","id":1}"
To:
%7B%22jsonrpc%22%3A%222.0%22%2C%22method%22%3A%20%22System.Suspend%22%2C%22id%22%3A1%7D%22
But your code is not.

Xhttp request always returns a 0 response code. - While making a post request using form data

I am trying to upload an array of images using form data and xhttp.
Client : React Native - Both platforms
Server : Node running on GCP
Images go into s3.
Problem : Images are uploaded into s3. And when i look at my server logs i see the server is sending 200.
But, client is always receiving response code 0.
And also xhttp goes from state 1 -> 4.
We have added CORS on both ends so that might not be an issue.
I have accept and content headers. But, no idea what's going wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
React-Native Client:
upload()
{
let url = "MYAPIGOESHERE"
let uploadBody = new FormData()
let imagesUpload = []
imagesUpload.push({type:'image/jpg',uri:this.state.coverImage[0].uri,name:"cover"})
uploadBody.append('photos',{uri:this.state.coverImage[0].uri, type:'image/jpg', name:"cover"})
uploadBody.append('duration',this.state.duration)
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest()
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
console.log(this.readyState+" "+this.statusText)
if (this.readyState === 4) {
alert(this.status)
if (this.status === 200) {
console.log(this.responseText);
} else {
console.log(this);
}
}
if(this.readyState === 3)
{
console.log("Inside 3")
}
if(this.readyState === 2)
{
console.log("Inside 2")
}
};
xhttp.open("POST", url)
xhttp.setRequestHeader('Accept', 'application/json');
xhttp.setRequestHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
xhttp.responseType = 'json'
xhttp.send(uploadBody)
}

How to GET json data from API with a header

I'm trying to get JSON data from an API using NodeJS and Express, but it requires a header I'm not sure how to input the header into the get request.
The documentation says:
curl -H"X-FullContact-APIKey:$your_key"
'https://api.fullcontact.com/v2/person.json?email=bart#fullcontact.com'
How do I do a add a get request with a header? I looked everywhere on Stackoverflow for days, and havent found anything. Everything is for PHP, nothing for NodeJS w/ Express. How can I do this with the Request Node NPM Manager Package
Not sure on how your request code looks like, but this should do it; right?
var request = require('request');
var options = {
url: 'https://api.fullcontact.com/v2/person.json?email=bart#fullcontact.com',
headers: {
'X-FullContact-APIKey': '$your_key'
}
};
function callback(error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
var result = JSON.parse(body);
console.log(result);
}
}
request(options, callback);

ionic 2: http get request not working (proxy added)

I'm using Http from #angular/http to send GET requests, but the server is not receiving the request. The generated urls are correct because when I log them and open them in browser (I've tried all of Chrome, Firefox and Safari), the server does receive these requests.
This is how I am doing this:
let logButtonUrl = this.urlGenerator.generateTiramisuUrlTemp(this.servletPath,
argMap);
console.log("logButtonUrl:"+logButtonUrl);
return this.http.get(logButtonUrl).map(this.writeSuccess);
Function writeSuccess:
private writeSuccess(res: Response) {
let body = res.json();
let rows_affected = body.data[0].rowsAffected;
if (rows_affected == "1") {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
I got no error message in browser console, so it's probably not because of the CORS issue discussed here:
http://blog.ionic.io/handling-cors-issues-in-ionic/
I also tried using a proxy. I added this in ionic.config.json:
{
"path": "/backendTemp",
proxyUrl": "http://128.237.217.70:8080" /*the ip address of the target server*/
}
And replace the ip address in my generated urls with "/backendTemp". Still not working.
Any suggestions/thoughts on this? Thanks a lot!
Use the $http (https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http):
.controller('RequestCtrl', function ($http) {
$http({
method: 'GET',
url: 'http://128.237.217.70:8080/backendTemp'
}).then(function successCallback(response) {
// this callback will be called asynchronously
// when the response is available
}, function errorCallback(response) {
// called asynchronously if an error occurs
// or server returns response with an error status.
});

CORS doesn't work

i was trying to make asynchronous call to Yahoo's symbol suggest JSONP API, so there's cross domain problem, I have read this document and try to change it's url , the following are the codes i use
function createCORSRequest(method, url) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
if ("withCredentials" in xhr) {
// XHR for Chrome/Firefox/Opera/Safari.
xhr.open(method, url, true);
} else if (typeof XDomainRequest != "undefined") {
// XDomainRequest for IE.
xhr = new XDomainRequest();
xhr.open(method, url);
} else {
// CORS not supported.
xhr = null;
}
return xhr;
}
function makeCorsRequest() {
// All HTML5 Rocks properties support CORS.
// var url = 'http://updates.html5rocks.com';
var url = 'http://autoc.finance.yahoo.com/autoc?query=google&callback=YAHOO.Finance.SymbolSuggest.ssCallback';
var xhr = createCORSRequest('GET', url);
if (!xhr) {
alert('CORS not supported');
return;
}
// Response handlers.
xhr.onload = function() {
var text = xhr.responseText;
console.log(text);
};
xhr.onerror = function() {
alert('Woops, there was an error making the request.');
};
xhr.send();
}
but the problem still not solved:
No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
does anyone know why? Also, I compared the code in document with regular ajax code, they are almost the same, how does CORS work?
thanks
For CORS to work, the server needs to set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. If you do not control the server, and the server hasn't set that header, then I'm afraid you're out of luck.
CORS replaces JSONP as the way to load cross-domain json content, but with JSONP the server also needs to implement it.
If the owner of the content doesn't want you to use it, the browser will reject it.
Edit: of course you can avoid the cross-browser issue by having your server get the content from the original server, and having the browser get it from your own server. More work, but it's not cross-browser anymore.
