Hello, I’m having a small difficulty with HTTP POST requests. Either it’s a bug, or I’m not using it correctly ^^ I have a working curl: ```bash curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/raspisms/api/scheduled/ -H 'X-Api-Key: XXXXX' -d 'text=Mon%20SMS%20d%27exemple' -d 'numbers=%2B33000000000' ``` (Key and phone number intentionally masked 😉 ) I tried to pass it into Gladys’s HTTP request, and every time I got a response that the Api-Key was incorrect, even though it was the same as in the working curl. Apache Log ```bash 127.0.1.1:80 127.0.0.1 - - [15/Mar/2022:23:20:29 +0100] "POST /raspisms/api/scheduled/ HTTP/1.1" 401 510 "-" "GladysAssistant/v4.8.0" ``` I wanted to know what Gladys was actually sending, so I created a test PHP page that displays the header content. ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/3/395fa1833461f00781d2e3ac184245d6233e479b.png) Here is the response: ```bash Host: XXXXXXXX
X-Real-IP: XX.XX.XXX.XXX
X-Forwarded-Proto: https
Connection: upgrade
Content-Length: 0
0: [object Object]
Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
user-agent: GladysAssistant/v4.8.0
``` I don’t have the ‹ X-Api-Key › variable in the header that I passed. Is this a bug or am I doing something incorrectly? Another question in parallel, do my data parameters ‹ -d › correspond to the Body part in Gladys, or is there no possibility to integrate data variables from Gladys? Thanks ---

I just ran a test, and I confirm there is a bug, it doesn’t work ^^ Can you create a GitHub issue with the same feedback?

A good bug report has been created [Button "try http request" in scene doesn't add headers properly · Issue #1473 · GladysAssistant/Gladys · GitHub](https://github.com/GladysAssistant/Gladys/issues/1473) 😉 Regarding my question at the end of the message, does a -d parameter in a curl correspond to the Body in Gladys? Thanks 🙂 ---

The issue is that the « try » button sends an array, but the backend method expects an object. @pierre-gilles I wanted to fix this issue, but I thought it would be interesting to also do the variable transformation with Handlebars. However, I think it will be complicated from the « try » button, as we don’t have the « scope » that contains the variable values. ---

> [@AlexTrovato](#): > > The problem is that the “try” button sends an array (array) but the backend method expects an object. Ah indeed! By the way, quick fix in the meantime, in my opinion @Checconio if you test your scene by « running » the scene instead of « trying » the HTTP block, it should work. > [@AlexTrovato](#): > > But I think it will be complicated from the “try” button, because we don’t have the “scope” Indeed, it’s another project! After that, we are not obliged to send the real values in a « try », we can just send a placeholder for the variables. If we put a message to say that the variables will be replaced by test values, I think that can already be good 🙂 ---

I confirm the « hack » while waiting for the « try » bug to be fixed. If you test the scene via the « Start » button global to the scene, it works well: ![Screenshot 2022-03-18 at 08.26.18](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d9c28a96cefd218dcd61728063606ca8e0538dd6.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2022-03-18 at 08.27.07](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d8c3b75b2bb13923bc4e52dd108c26cb476ddde7.png) ---

> [@pierre-gilles](#): > > What do you mean by « data variables »? Data variables in curl are what actually make up the body. So it’s the same thing between a curl and gladys after all 🙂 I’m going to test my scene without using the try button, thanks 😉 ---

No worries 😉 And I confirm the correct functioning of my HTTP request after finding the right syntax 😃 I will probably make a tutorial on sending SMS from Gladys 😛 ---

Awesome! Great idea for the tutorial, it will help a lot of people 🙂
