I have a question for cloud code function "Parse.Cloud.httpRequest". I want to send HTTP GET request as the same as the following curl mand. But it seems it is not working. If you find something wrong, please help.

curl -H "Authorization: token xxx" ""

Note:

My code is like this. Then I accessed /trips.

var express = require('express');
var app = express();

app.set('views', 'cloud/views');
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.use(express.bodyParser());

app.get('/trips', function(req, res) {
    Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({
        url: '',
        headers: {
            'Authorization': 'token xxx'
        },
        success: function (httpResponse) {
            console.log(httpResponse.text);
        },
        error: function (httpResponse) {
            console.error('Request failed with response code ' + httpResponse.status);
        }
    });
});

app.listen();

Here is a log.

• javascript
• http
• curl
• parse-platform

• 1 is it just a typo for this post that the url starts with 'ttps' and not 'https' ? – Fosco Commented Jul 16, 2014 at 5:41
• Thanks. There is limitation for URL, so I changed it. But now it is fine. – Yohei Onishi Commented Jul 16, 2014 at 17:30
• so what is returned? don't just log .status, log everything. – Fosco Commented Jul 16, 2014 at 17:33
• No return. Even successful or error function is not called. – Yohei Onishi Commented Jul 16, 2014 at 20:23
• is there more code after this httpRequest call, outside the block?.. – Fosco Commented Jul 16, 2014 at 20:28

Try this modification:

app.get('/trips', function(req, res) {
    Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({
      url: 'https://api.automatic./v1/trips',
      headers: {
        'Authorization': 'token xxx'
      }
    }).then(function(httpResponse) {
      console.log(httpResponse);
      res.end(httpResponse.text);
    }, function(err) {
      console.log(err);
      res.end(err);
    });
});

@Yohei, I believe you could have also done this:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();

app.set('views', 'cloud/views');
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.use(express.bodyParser());

app.get('/trips', function(req, res) {
    Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({
        url: 'https://api.automatic./v1/trips',
        headers: {
            'Authorization': 'token xxx'
        },
        success: function (httpResponse) {
            console.log(httpResponse.text);
            response.success(httpResponse.text);
        },
        error: function (httpResponse) {
            console.error('Request failed with response code ' + httpResponse.status);
            response.error('Request failed with response code ' + httpResponse.status);
        }
    });
});

app.listen();
