Description
IoT Agent JSON version the issue has been seen with
3.1.0
Bound or port used (API interaction)
Southbound (Devices data API)
NGSI version
NGSIv2
Are you running a container?
Yes, I am using a contaner (Docker, Kubernetes...)
Image type
normal
Expected behaviour you didn't see
This is a follow-up to issue #759. The XML service integration still fails because the client includes a "\t" character in the Content-Type header.
When sending a measure with content-type "application/soap+xml;\tcharset=utf-8" to /iot/json/attrs/<name of attrib>, the request should be accepted according to #771
Unexpected behaviour you saw
The IoT Agent replies inmediately with "400 Bad Content".
This is because the type-is module, used internally by express, fails to match this content-type to application/soap+xml:
$ node
Welcome to Node.js v20.10.0.
Type ".help" for more information.
> const typeis = require('type-is').is
undefined
> const ctype = "application/soap+xml; action=\"urn:notificarEvento\"; \tcharset=utf-8"
undefined
> typeis(ctype, ["application/soap+xml"])
false
> typeis(ctype, ctype)
false
> This causes the following checks to fail:
iotagent-json/lib/bindings/HTTPBinding.js
Lines 75 to 83 in db40299
iotagent-json/lib/bindings/HTTPBinding.js
Lines 109 to 115 in db40299
And also an internal test in the bodyparser-xml dependency, which performs its own content-type check, matching to ['*/xml', '+xml'] by default:
Removing the \t makes type-is recognize the content-type properly:
> const ctype2 = "application/soap+xml; action=\"urn:notificarEvento\"; charset=utf-8"
undefined
> typeis(ctype2, ["application/soap+xml"])
'application/soap+xml'
> I did open an issue upstream: jshttp/type-is#52
But I don't expect a fix to reach express anytime soon, so maybe we would need a workaround.
Steps to reproduce the problem
export TAB=$'\t'
curl -H "Content-Type: application/soap+xml;${TAB}charset=utf-8" "http://<iota json ip>:7897/iot/json/attrs/payload?i=<deviceid>&k=<apikey>" -d '<?xml version="1.0"?><body><attrib>value</attrib></body>"
