[ERROR] AutoIT can't handle HTTP requests? The requested action with this object has failed

[Femboy]

Hello y'all,

 

At my workplace, I've been tasked to make some software with AutoIT and I seem to be stuck with this:

 

$orionURL = 'http://'&$ipAddress&':5001/'
$jsonData = '[{ "request": { "TokenName": "bitCMDGrantEnter", "LaneNumber":"'&$laneNumber&'", "Value": "true"}}]'

$oHTTP = ObjCreate("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")

$oHTTP.Open("POST", $orionURL, False)

$oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")

; ----ERRROR RIGHT HERE---------
$oHTTP.Send($jsonData)

The console logs show the URL, IP address, Lane number and everything else to be perfect.

I've sent the same requests on postman and it works wonders, even when spammed on the same computer, everything in the JSON and URL to be the same and it works like butter.

but AutoIT seems to just struggle with this request, its a 50% flip of a coin for it to work well or bring up this error everytime:

 (833) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
$oHTTP.Send($jsonData)
$oHTTP^ ERROR


I've also tried using "WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1" for my HTTP request but the difference seems null.


Am I blind? I've tried all types of error catching, COM error catching and nothing...

 

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME!

There seems to be a huge discrepancy between the end of your post and the chosen footer text. 

So my current answer would be:

Will have a look for you...

I hate AutoIT

Well, maybe not, and am sure you can figure it out yourself!

Add COM/OLE error checking to see error description and avoid hard crash ...

$objErr = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error","MyErrFunc")

$orionURL = 'http://'&$ipAddress&':5001/'
$jsonData = '[{ "request": { "TokenName": "bitCMDGrantEnter", "LaneNumber":"'&$laneNumber&'", "Value": "true"}}]'

$oHTTP = ObjCreate("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
$oHTTP.Open("POST", $orionURL, False)
$oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
$oHTTP.Send($jsonData) ; ----ERRROR RIGHT HERE---------
If @error Then Exit

; ...

Func MyErrFunc()
    MsgBox(48, 'COM Error', $objErr.description)
    SetError(1)
EndFunc

@Zedna thank you so much!! I already had a COM error checking but completely forgot that I could Exit after grabbing the error.

@Jos I see you can't take jokes.

Guess we can shake hands on that one. 😉
