| Summary | 0008456: merchan backend complains about credentials being wrong when URL is missing a / | ||||
| Description | https://git.taler.net/merchant.git/tree/src/bank/mb_parse.c#n125 $ curl 'http://merchant.taler.test:1180/private/accounts' --data-raw '{"payto_uri":"payto://x-taler-bank/e/e?receiver-name=e","credit_facade_url":"http://evil.com","credit_facade_credentials":{"type":"BASIC","username":"we","password":"we"}}' { "code": 26, "hint": "A parameter in the request was malformed. This is likely a bug in the client implementation. Check if you are using the latest available version and/or file a report with the developers.", "detail": "credit_facade_credentials" } | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| also, this request should not be valid since doesn't have URL $ curl 'http://merchant.taler.test:1180/private/accounts/SP8R9SG0WEYXKPE85Z8V71EBKWG6VZMYMZMP77MNX2GAWDSD5F5MACV05YTBB1F5E24GR85KH41XD5R594Y6J81XY29SX0KKQ5RKRTR' -X 'PATCH' -v --data-raw '{"credit_facade_credentials":{"type":"basic","password":"we","username":"we"}}' * Trying 127.0.0.1:1180... * Connected to merchant.taler.test (127.0.0.1) port 1180 (#0) > PATCH /private/accounts/SP8R9SG0WEYXKPE85Z8V71EBKWG6VZMYMZMP77MNX2GAWDSD5F5MACV05YTBB1F5E24GR85KH41XD5R594Y6J81XY29SX0KKQ5RKRTR HTTP/1.1 < HTTP/1.1 204 No Content | |
| I don't see the issue. The credit_facade_url is specified as mandatory ending with "/". The error message says the credit_facade_url is malformed, as it is. Why do you think this is even a bug? The 2nd request is well-formed: the credit_facade_url is specified as *optional*. So it is OK to be missing. Sure, the other credentials are then not useful, but that doesn't make the request invalid. In fact, the user may want to keep/store/preserve the credentials and could just disable the credit facade by setting the URL to empty. So again, I don't see an issue here. | |
| the problem is that the error message says that the credentials are wrong, they are not the URL is, that's OK, I agree and it's not part of the problem I even point out here https://git.taler.net/merchant.git/tree/src/bank/mb_parse.c#n125 is checking URL in the function that should check credentials | |
| Ah, I see. We refer to the wrong field, because due to the internal logic we actually don't know which of the two went south. Fixing the message to refer to *both* fields. | |
