Empty response, no connection about restclient-cpp HOT 7 CLOSED

Quick Update:

I tried a simpler version to check if it's my use case, though the same issue (empty body, code 500, no sign of life from recipient of request) occurs. My new test case look like

int main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[])
{
    RestClient::Response r = RestClient::post("http://127.0.0.1:8001/", "application/json", "invalid json");
    // I would expect this to come back as a 500, but with some error message produced by the recipient
    std::cout << "body: " << r.body << std::endl;
    std::cout << "code: " << r.code << std::endl;
}

@andrewmfiorillo can you post the diagnostics information gotten from conn->GetInfo()?

from restclient-cpp.

Can do!

baseUrl: http://6fmkd42:8001
basicAuth (usr,pass): (,)
certPath:
certType:
userAgent: foo/bar
followRedirects: 0
keyPath:
noSignal: 0

Thanks!

it looks like your app is at least connecting. What does RestClient::Response.headers say after the failed request?

from restclient-cpp.

"Content-Length" is 0, "Date" is my system's time in GMT, "HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Error" is "present", and "Server" is "Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0". That last one makes me think it's connecting to the inner server but that's rejecting the request outright. I'm going to do a quick test against httpbin.org.

Update: httpbin.org/post returned an OK 200 code, so I guess I'm now on the hunt via the recipient server. Thanks for your help @mrtazz.

A little bit more digging with RequestBin shows that restclient-cpp is working exactly as expected. My issue appears to be with the server it's trying to consume. Thanks again for your help, and thanks for the library!

@andrewmfiorillo glad to hear the client worked as expected! If you can think of anything that makes debugging easier in such a situation, feel free to open an issue for that.
