I am building a new connector and need to URI encode data.  I have tried DOMO.b64EncodeUnicode(***) but this does not seem to work. Anyone got any ideas?

 

Thanks

    I have used escape() this appears to encode the special characters OK.

    what's not working?

    can you post your code, sample input, actual output, and expected output?

    Hi,

     

    In PS I can use:

     

    $creds = 'username=' +
    ([System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlEncode([System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlDecode($username))) +
    '&password=' +
    ([System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlEncode([System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlDecode($password)))

     

    and use this to authenticate against the API and in DOMO I am trying to use

     

    var creds = "username=" + DOMO.b64EncodeUnicode(metadata.account.Username) + "&password="+ DOMO.b64EncodeUnicode(metadata.account.Password);

    but this fails using the same credentials.

     

    Thanks

    Sure... but Simon what's failing?

     

     

    var creds = "username=" + DOMO.b64EncodeUnicode(metadata.account.Username) + "&password="+ DOMO.b64EncodeUnicode(metadata.account.Password);

    when you DOMO.log() the resulting string what result do you get?

    when you DOMO.log() the individual parts from the metadata object, are you returning a result, i.e. is the case correct blah blah?

     

    when you DOMO.log() the b64encode method do you get a properly encoded string or does the method fail?

    hi, Its failing to authenticate, it doesn't recognise the username and/or password as valid.  I have ensured they are both exactly the same and being posted to exactly the same URL but it fails in DOMO. I think the only issue could be the encoding but Im not sure if DOMO.b64EncodeUnicode=URIEncoding.

    which api? b/c afaik after authentication, you should only use access tokens ...

    Hi, This is a new one I'm setting up, it uses username & password to then get a session token.  i have written various APIs that don't use a access token.  Encoding always seems to be a issue in DOMO.
