Hi all,

I am having a problem adding credentials to a http request for the new Palpal Api. I followed the example code with no luck. Below is the code and log.

Thanks,
-- Erik

Set oReq = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.HttpRequest")
With oReq
  .HttpVerb = "POST"
  .Path = "/v1/oauth/token"

  .AddHeader "Accept", "application/json"
  .AddHeader "Accept-Language", "en_US"

  .LoadBodyFromString "grant_type=client_credentials", "utf-8"

End With

Set oHttp = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Http")
With oHttp
  .UnlockComponent "INSURAHttp_...."
  .Login = "AekbqBDNxY8bbkVdWCxxxxxxx"
  .Password = "ECkbMxA-Hk0ptplRDnMUxxxxxxxxxxx"
  .SessionLogFileName = Server.MapPath("./http.log")

End With

Set oResp = oHttp.SynchronousRequest("https://api.sandbox.paypal.com", 443, 1, oReq)

---- Sending ----
POST /v1/oauth/token HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Accept-Language: en_US

grant_type=client_credentials

Curl Example that I am trying to copy

curl -v https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Accept-Language: en_US" \
  -u "EOJ2S-Z6OoN_le_KS1d75wsZ6y0SFdVsY9183IvxFyZp:EClusMEUk8e9ihI7ZdVLF5cZ6y0SFdVsY9183IvxFyZp" \
  -d "grant_type=client_credentials"

Answer

I got it to work, here is the final code. There is one exception that I do not know if it is a bug or feature. If I call SynchronousRequest the path from the request object is used. If I call PostUrlEncoded, the path of the request object is ignored. I added the path to the url parameter of PostUrlEncoded.

Set oReq = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.HttpRequest")
With oReq
  .HttpVerb = "POST"
  .Path = "/v1/oauth2/token"

.AddHeader "Accept", "application/json"
.AddHeader "Accept-Language", "en_US"
.AddHeader "HOST", "api.sandbox.paypal.com" 'Sandbox
.LoadBodyFromString "grant_type=client_credentials", "utf-8"

End With

Set oHttp = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Http")
With oHttp
  .UnlockComponent "INSURAHttp_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
  .BasicAuth = 1
  .Login = "AQAn8hBsRWHjduM_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
  .Password = "ECDXwBBABT1pxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxw"
  .SessionLogFileName = Server.MapPath("./http.log")

End With

Set oResp = oHttp.PostUrlEncoded("https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token", oReq)

Result form log:
