othman Http BAD request 400 error
I have the below apex code that when called returns a bad request 400
is there anything i missed in the http request i send below?
@future (callout=true)
public static void invoke(String email, String firstName){
Http h = new Http();
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setMethod('POST');
Blob headerValue = Blob.valueOf(USERNAME + ':' + PASSWORD);
String authorizationHeader = 'BASIC ' + EncodingUtil.base64Encode(headerValue);
req.setHeader('Authorization', authorizationHeader);
req.setHeader('Accept', 'text/xml;charset=utf-8');
req.setEndpoint('http://localhost:8080/jbilling/rest/users');
String requestString = '<list>'+
'<user>'+'<userId>0</userId>'+'<userName>othmanelmoulat</userName>'+
'<password>123qwe</password>'+'<mainRoleId>5</mainRoleId>'+
'<contact>'+'<email>'+email+'</email>'+
'<firstName>'+firstName+'</firstName></contact>'+
'</user></list>';
req.setHeader('Content-Length',String.valueOf(requestString.length()));
req.setBody(requestString);
HttpResponse res;
try {
res = h.send(req);
string bodyRes=res.getBody();
System.debug(bodyRes);
} catch(System.CalloutException e) {
System.debug('Callout error: '+ e);
System.debug(res.toString());
}
//parse body response to extract results values
}
here is the debug log of the request sf tried to process and returned 400.
is there something not right in this request? any reason why the server returns a 400?

you can't use localhost, that only makes sense on your physical host, not anywhere else, you need to use the internet resolvable name of your host or your public IP address.

i have my rest service running at localhost:8080
i specify the endpoint in apex code to request my rest resource http://localhost:8080/jbilling/rest/users
but apex says it can't retrive specified url. is it b/c i use 'localhost:8080'? does apex understands the localhost uri ?
what is wrong in my code above?
i suppose i had no replies because my apex code seems to be fine right?
if that is the case what could be giving me the HTTP BAD request 400 error?
is there any information i need to post that my question lacks? anyone has any idea how to help me out in this?
thank you.
