MongooseIm Rest API connection issue with local Setup - api

Question

I have setup the mongooseim [3.3.0] ubuntu 14.04 & it works perfect with android client setup. Then I need to test the REST API for creating room , Then I have got this error when running the swagger documentation.
curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Basic dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZA==' 'http://localhost:8089/api/rooms'
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
This is the mongooseim configs which related to REST API.
{ 8089 , ejabberd_cowboy, [
{num_acceptors, 10},
{transport_options, [{max_connections, 1024}]},
{protocol_options, [{compress, true}]},
{ssl, [{certfile, "priv/ssl/fake_cert.pem"}, {keyfile, "priv/ssl/fake_key.pem"}, {password, ""}]},
{modules, [
{"_", "/api/sse", lasse_handler, [mongoose_client_api_sse]},
{"_", "/api/messages/[:with]", mongoose_client_api_messages, []},
{"_", "/api/contacts/[:jid]", mongoose_client_api_contacts, []},
{"_", "/api/rooms/[:id]", mongoose_client_api_rooms, []},
{"_", "/api/rooms/[:id]/config", mongoose_client_api_rooms_config, []},
{"_", "/api/rooms/:id/users/[:user]", mongoose_client_api_rooms_users, []},
{"_", "/api/rooms/[:id]/messages", mongoose_client_api_rooms_messages, []}
]}

This is the swagger document I have referred. https://mongooseim.readthedocs.io/en/3.3.0/swagger/index.html

Answer 1

I noticed the following things:
The curl example you provided tries to send the request to MongooseIM over HTTP
Based on the part of the config file you provided I can see that MongooseIM expects HTTPS traffic.
It looks like changing the endpoint in your curl command to https://localhost:8089/api/rooms will help. Of course, if you run the command on the same machine as MongooseIM is running. Otherwise, please change the localhost to a proper name or IP address of the machine.
What's more, in the config file I can see that the REST API is configured with the default, fake and self-signed certificates. I strongly encourage you to change it to real certificates. For the sake of testing, you will need to add the option -k to your curl command in order to skip cert verification.
