    curl - HTTP Management

      Hi all,

       

      trying to execute POST through curl from the console  as described here https://community.jboss.org/wiki/HTTPJSON-likeAPI

      curl -H Content-Type:\ application/json -d '{"operation":"read-resource","address":[],"json.pretty":1}'  http://localhost:9990/management 

      curl: (52) Empty reply from server.

       

      The GET from the browser works though

      http://localhost:9990/management?operation=resource&json.pretty=true. 

       

      Am I doing sth wrong..?

       

      I have two more questions

       

      1. What is the correct way to specify the address when doing POST e.g. for sth like /management/subsystem/logging/console-handler/CONSOLE ?

      2. As I understand only read-* commands are allowed for GET requests,  if I do POST am I allowed to access anything? I am thinking of write-attribute to change configuration parameters and other operations that each resource provides (deploy, undeploy, shutdown etc).

       

      Regards

          Have you added a user for domain management?  You are going to need to specify their username in the curl call and provide their password.

            Hi,

             

            you can find an example how to call management with curl here:

             

            https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/The+HTTP+management+API

              thanks for your replies,

               

              although I didn't show in the command line I was using basic authentication from curl. After changing to --digest all works ok e.g.

               

              cvasilak@casper:~$ curl --digest -D - http://localhost:9990/management --header "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"operation":"read-resource", "address":["deployment","jolokia.war"], "json.pretty":1}' -u username:password
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-length: 0
Www-authenticate: Digest realm="ManagementRealm",nonce="e371e4c9d9c8e9a54ba00f1211541fdb"
Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 21:56:26 GMT

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Transfer-encoding: chunked
Content-type: application/json
Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 21:56:26 GMT

{
    "outcome" : "success",
    "result" : {
        "content" : [{
            "path" : "deployments/jolokia.war",
            "relative-to" : "jboss.server.base.dir",
            "archive" : true
        }],
        "enabled" : true,
        "name" : "jolokia.war",
        "persistent" : false,
        "runtime-name" : "jolokia.war",
        "subdeployment" : null,
        "subsystem" : {"web" : null}

               

               

              As you can see the "address" part is a standard json array so after populating correctly it works fluently. Plus after changing the operation to "redeploy" the war was redeployed. So I guess I have the full power

               

              Time for serious fun...

               

              Thanks a lot!
