Im trying to use the Blue Prism object HTTP request to get an access token for further processing the items. However, i couldn't manage to get the token due to the error 'The given key was not present in the dictionary'. I have looked all parameters and still didn't manage to solve the issue. I use a built in visual basic code to get the result as a collection which is later parsed to JSON to get the token.
Output parameter Input parameter
The underlying visual basic code is:
If forcePreAuth Then
'Sometimes a web server will require the authorisation header in the initial request
'In which case we have to add the basic authorization header manually.
Dim bytes() As Byte = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(String.Format('{0}:{1}',username,password))
Dim base64 As String = Convert.ToBase64String(bytes)
request.Headers.Add('Authorization', 'Basic ' & base64)
Else
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(username) AndAlso Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(password) Then
request.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(username,password)
End If
End If
If useProxy Then
Dim proxyURI As New Uri(proxyURL)
Dim proxy As New WebProxy(proxyURI, True)
Dim proxyCred As New NetworkCredential(proxyUsername, proxyPassword)
Dim credCache As New CredentialCache()
credCache.Add(proxyURI, 'Basic', proxyCred)
proxy.UseDefaultCredentials = False
proxy.Credentials = credCache
request.Proxy = proxy
End If
request.Method = method
request.ContentType = contentType
Dim httpRequest As HttpWebRequest = TryCast(request, HttpWebRequest)
If httpRequest IsNot Nothing Then
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(accept) Then
httpRequest.Accept = accept
End If
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(certID) Then
httpRequest.ClientCertificates.Add(m_Certificates(certID))
End If
End If
For Each r As DataRow In headers.Rows
For Each c As DataColumn In headers.Columns
Dim columnName As String = c.ColumnName
Dim val As String = r(columnName).ToString
request.Headers.Add(columnName,val)
Next
Exit For 'Only one row is allowed
Next
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(body) Then
Dim requestStream As IO.Stream = request.GetRequestStream()
Using sw As New IO.StreamWriter(requestStream, New Text.UTF8Encoding(False))
sw.Write(body)
End Using
End If
Using response As WebResponse = request.GetResponse()
Dim responseStream As IO.Stream = response.GetResponseStream()
Dim sr As New IO.StreamReader(responseStream)
resultData = sr.ReadToEnd()
End Using```
