HTTP action sanitizing token

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 51

Hi,

I checked other posts about this and so far, no luck.  I am hitting a proprietary API (built here by our devs and used in many applications), first to authenticate and retrieve a token and then to hit another endpoint (Get Files).    When I attempt to use that token i have successfully retrieved,  i am getting the below response during the Get Files phase. 

 

"The provided 'Http' action URI '*sanitized*' is not valid. The URI must be a well formed absolute URI not referencing local host or UNC path."

 

 

I am successfully retrieving a token (validated the token itself inside the swagger docs we have for the API) and it is valid.  No whitespace, no extra characters, etc. 

I have tried setting it as a variable (both initializing it and then setting as well as compose) and neither seem to work.

Any ideas?  THanks

    @abm I did check with our system administrator and this is available outside of our environment (we had to make the same changes to allow our dev API to be discoverable and that worked fine in dev). Do you think it could still be a system set-up/accessibility issue?

    Hi @aabbondanza 

     

    Check your token you passing the right way or not? Remove that step and add it again similar like in DEV. Let me know the results.

     

    Thanks

    @abm HI there,  I deleted the step and readded it with the same result.  I am still getting a valid token (verified against swagger docs and postman), but PA still sanitizing the authorization on the HTTP-Get Files request later in the flow.  I had seen this video for a custom connector (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxLEoX8d388), is that a viable option?  Would take some rework?

    Hi there, magically, it just started working today (at least the token part of the flow). I am no longer getting the sanitizing error.  I did nothing to fix this (in fact i was on vacation the last 2 weeks so the flow sat there the entire time).  So maybe it was just a bug?  Anyway, closing this out.  Thanks for your help
