Making post requests to API

[tGitm]

Hi 👋

I would like to make https requests on API in mirth channel. Username, password and .pfx certificate with password are required for successful authentication. As response I would get HL7 message which I have to send to another channel for reading it's data (channel already working). Can I do something like that in Mirth?

This is code from C# sample app from provider.

Thanks for help!

If the certificate is being used for mutual TLS please review the options for SSL in MC at: https://gist.github.com/jonbartels/8abd121901eb930f46245d9ef0f5710e . You will either need a plugin or an SSL tunnel or an SSL proxy I think.

I hit https://azer.winter.weda.fr/ and it does seem to want mutual TLS. It is possible there is some other authentication scheme for this API that uses a keypair from a PFX but does not use TLS, you would have to read or share the API documentation to know.

Oh! You're running into #4868

Alter this file https://github.com/tonygermano/connect-plugins/blob/master/basicssl/server/src/main/kotlin/io/github/tonygermano/connect/plugins/basicssl/BasicSslPlugin.kt to add

override fun getObjectsForSwaggerExamples() {
        return null;
    }

Alter this file https://github.com/tonygermano/connect-plugins/blob/master/basicssl/server/src/main/kotlin/io/github/tonygermano/connect/plugins/basicssl/BasicSslPlugin.kt to add

Now I am facing this error:
Task :server:compileKotlin FAILED e: E:\documents\MESI\addons\connect-plugins\basicssl\server\src\main\kotlin\io\github\tonygermano\connect\plugins\basicssl\BasicSslPlugin.kt: (42, 18): Return type of 'getObjectsForSwaggerExamples' is not a subtype of the return type of the overridden member 'public abstract fun getObjectsForSwaggerExamples(): (Mutable)Map<String!, Any!>! defined in com.mirth.connect.plugins.ServicePlugin' e: E:\documents\MESI\addons\connect-plugins\basicssl\server\src\main\kotlin\io\github\tonygermano\connect\plugins\basicssl\BasicSslPlugin.kt: (43, 16): Null can not be a value of a non-null type Unit

It looks like its missing a return type.

What you have to do is update Tonys plugin for a newer version of MC which requires the plugin to define getObjectsForSwaggerExamples(). It can return null, but the function has to be defined correctly for it to compile and run.

Maybe this? I'm on a different computer and I don't have a clone to test with.

override fun getObjectsForSwaggerExamples() : Map<String, Any> {
        return null;
    }

This gives me a lot of new errors

If you revisit https://github.com/tonygermano/connect-plugins/tree/master/basicssl, you will see the specific reference to http listeners, not http senders so it won't work for you. Nor does it do mutual TLS if that was needed.

Perhaps revisit the link @jonbartels posted above with the assorted options for TLS?

Oh.. I missed this information, sorry. Have a nice day :)
