Accessing snap socket via rest api

Hello All,

Greetings for the day!

I have a case like accessing another snap in a snap via its rest API’s.

I’m using nc command to GET/PUT Request. GET Request is working fine. But I couldn’t find out the syntax of using PUT.

Let me know if there are any solutions to this.

Thanks in advance.!!

What are you doing, exactly? and which endpoint are you trying to reach?

I’ve just realised you’ve asked this same question, and received answers that were apparently working, in

Enable/Disable systemd services

so what’s different? Why is this topic not that one?

Hello @chipaca,

Just in simple words, this topic is created on how to send a PUT request over snap socket using nc command.

which I’ve already shown you, with an example, which you said worked:

so what is it that doesn’t work, now?

Hello @chipaca,

I have tried the same, but it doesn’t work!.

Below are my logs,

nc -U $SNAP_DATA/sockets/control << EOF
PUT /v1/configuration HTTP/1.0
Content-Length: 25
 
{"wifi.security":"open"}
EOF
HTTP/1.0 500 Internal Server Error
Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2019 14:10:10 GMT
Content-Length: 137
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
{"result":{"kind":"internal-error","message":"Invalid method called"},"status":"Internal Server Error","status-code":500,"type":"error"}

that looks like a correct PUT request, to a server that does not expect them.
