Passing host variable in REST Message

[swisstech08]

Hi,

I'm trying to solve an issue I am having with a REST message. The following is the REST Message configuration/setup:

var hostName = 'test.hostname.com';

var request = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('System Information', 'POST SiteToken');
 request.setStringParameter('baseUrl','test.hostname.com');
//request.setStringParameter('baseUrl',hostName);
request.setStringParameter('api','15.8');
request.setRequestHeader('Accept','application/json');
request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/json');
//request.setStringParameter('siteID','ae0377db-5dc5-4f31-aea2-f');

 var response = request.execute();

This is the REST Message endpoint:

https://${baseUrl}/api/${api}/auth/signin
When I run the rest request it passes successfully, http=200, and I get the correct information back

When I run the request with the hostname as a variable:

request.setStringParameter('baseUrl',hostName);

Then the request fails with error message: unknown host.

I have done some troubleshooting with Xplore and there when using the hostname variable in the request and do:

gs.print("Set Endpoint: " + sm.getEndpoint());

it returns the correct endpoint:

test.hostname.com

Any idea on why this fails when using a variable in the REST message setup?

Thank you,

Roland

Hello,

It looks weird but just a try to cast the variable to a String with double quotes.

var hostName = "test.hostname.com";

Can you make this change and see if it works. I have seen some posts where the double quotes have messed up.

Thanks!
