Angular 2 http service. Get detailed error information - http

Executing Angular2 http call to the offline server doesn't provide much info in it's "error response" object I'm getting in the Observable's .catch(error) operator or subscription error delegate (they are both share the same info actually). But as you can see on the screen shot of the console there's actual error was displayed by zone.js somehow.
So, how can I get this specific error info (net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED)?
Thanks.

Whenever server do not respond, response.status will be always equal to 0 (zero)
{
type: 3, //ResponseType.Error
status: 0, // problem connecting endpoint
}
Also note, when you are performing CORS request, but origin (url in browser) is not authorized (not in allowed list of host names configured in remote endpoint) the response would be similar to above, with exception to type attribute which will be equal to 4 = ResponseType.Opaque...
This means, connection was made, but for instance, OPTIONS request returned with headers which do not contain origin or HTTPS request was performed from HTTP origin.

You can handle the error messages so they are easier to read. This can definitely be expanded on too:
public Get() {
return this.http.get(this.URL).map(this.extractData)
.catch(this.handleError);
}
public extractData(res: Response) {
let body = res.json();
return body || {};
}
public handleError(error: any) {
let errMsg = (error.message) ? error.message :
error.status ? `${error.status} - ${error.statusText}` : 'Server error';
console.error(errMsg);
return Observable.throw(errMsg);
}
Check out this part of the docs on error handling.

Without digging in the code, my expectation is that if the server is unreachable, then no response can be returned from the server. Therefore the Response object remains its initialized state.

How to access backend errors with Redux createAsyncThunk

I am not sure how I am supposed to get the errors that come from the backend when a POST request is sent to the backend. If I use plain axios calls, I can simply get the errors from the response object in the catch block with:
error.response.data.errors
But when using Redux and using createAsyncThunk method, on a 400 status code from the server, a rejected action is dispatched and the error object I get is a generic one like so:
{
message: "Request failed with status code 400"
name: "Error"
stack: "Error: Request failed with status code 400\n...."
}
How can I get the server errors, just like using axios?
You can make use of the rejectWithValue function from redux-toolkit to include the server error as the payload property of your rejected action.
It would be something like this (untested code because I’m on my phone)
const myAction = createAsyncThunk(
‘actionName’,
async ( arg, {rejectWithValue} ) => {
try {
const res = await axios.post(…);
return res.data;
} catch (error) {
return rejectWithValue( error.response.data.errors );
}
});
I think what you can do is add an additional check for the errors and also wrap the axios post request with a try catch block.
Note : In your case the request is failing so I guess there must be some error with the way you are making a request.

GET request working on postman but not in browser

I have encountered a strange issue with a GET request that I am stuck on.
I am calling a GET request from my ASP.Net application that works fine in postman but does not hit my userGETReq.onload.
function getUser(username){
userGETReq.open("GET", userURL + "/" + username);
userGETReq.send();
userGETReq.onload = () => {if(userGETReq.status === 200){//cool stuff }}
I am running on a localhost in the browser - the function to start this is being called from a form that returns false.
<form onsubmit="login(this); return false">
POSTMAN
Picture of successful postman response for the GET request
I have other GET requests from the same application that work.
The only difference between this and the other one that works is that it has a 'variable' that gets passed in and has a set route:
[Route("api/User/{username}")]
public List<User> Get(string username)
This is how my CORS is set up
that is the problem
CORS:
EnableCorsAttribute cors = new EnableCorsAttribute("*","*","*");
config.EnableCors(cors);
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The waring I am getting:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://localhost:56390/api/user/test3. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed).
to resolve CORS issue, you can write another method in service as follows
Every time service call is made, OPTIONS is triggered first to check if the service call is allowed and once the OPTIONS returns allowed, actual method is invoked
//here you can add URL of calling host or the client URL under HEADER_AC_ALLOW_ORIGIN
#OPTIONS
#Path("/yourservice/")
#LocalPreflight
public Response options() {
String origin = headers.getRequestHeader("Origin").get(0);
LOG.info(" In options!!!!!!!!: {}", origin);
if ("http://localhost:4200".equals(origin)) {
return Response.ok()
.header(CorsHeaderConstants.HEADER_AC_ALLOW_METHODS, "GET,POST,DELETE,PUT,OPTIONS")
.header(CorsHeaderConstants.HEADER_AC_ALLOW_CREDENTIALS, "false")
.header(CorsHeaderConstants.HEADER_AC_ALLOW_ORIGIN, "http://localhost:4200")
.header(CorsHeaderConstants.HEADER_AC_ALLOW_HEADERS, "content-type")
.build();
} else {
return Response.ok().build();
}
}

Angular 2 POST Request

While doing the POST request in Angular 2, I am getting:
"EXCEPTION: Response with status: 404 Not Found for URL:" .
However, while accessing the URL directly, I am getting the response page.
Also in my backend code, I can see my data getting passed from client side to server side:
Response_body: "{"Message":"Not able to add Language = A"}"
headers: Headersok: false
status: 404
statusText: "Not Found"
type: 2
url: "http://localhost:1109/api/Language/AddLanguage"
onSubmit(val){
console.log(val);
this.languageService.testPost(val)
.subscribe(
(res:response) => console.log(res);
);
}
testPost(newVal) : Observable<any>{
let body = JSON.stringify(newVal);
console.log(body);
let headers = new Headers({'Content-Type' : 'application/json'});
let options = new RequestOptions({headers : headers});
return this.http.post(this.logUrl,body,options)
.map((res : Response) => res.json());
}
Yes Rachit,I think you are correct.While Debugging,In my Server side Code I found an Exception mentioning Too many Arguments while saving Data To Database.
There's the culprit I believe, this error generally occurs if you supply more than required params to an SP. So in your DB implementation if you are using SP(s) kindly check them one by one which one is supplying extra parameters. And if nothing else is the problem you should have this issue resolved.

Angular2 : detect error from HTTP post

I cannot interecept error from http post
a part of my mservice (http post method)
addApplicationLink(applicationLink: ApplicationLink){
let body = JSON.stringify(applicationLink);
let requestHeaders = new Headers();
var headers = new Headers();
headers.set('Content-Type', ['application/json; charset=utf-8']);
let reqoptions = new RequestOptions({
headers: headers
});
return this._http.post(this._applicationLinksUrl + this._linkServicePath,body,{headers: headers});
in my component :
addApplicationLink() {
//todo
this.addNewLink = false;
/* check if must be done after call real rest service */
//this.applicationLinks.push(this.applicationLinkAdd);
this._applicationLinkService.addApplicationLink(this.applicationLinkAdd)
.subscribe(data => {
this.applicationLinks.push(this.applicationLinkAdd)
},
error => {
// handle error
console.error('this an erreor ' + error.status)
}
)
When user tries to add two same applicationlinks , the backend returns an error 409
But when I execute , error.status displays 200 in browser console
I see also in browser console
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:7001...... No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:3000' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 409.
rem : Http post is made with json , thus there is a prefligth call
Have you an idea to intercept error 409 ?
In fact, your server doesn't send back the CORS header (Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is missing). This prevent the browser from providing the actual 409 error to the Angular2 application within the browser.
You need to fix first the problem on the server and you will be able to see this 409 error.

Meteor.http.call gives not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin

When I try to call an external server for JSON queries in Meteor with the Meteor.http.call("GET") method I get the error message "not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin".
How do I allow my meteor app to make HTTP calls to other servers?
Right now I run it on localhost.
The code I run is this:
Meteor.http.call("GET",
"http://api.vasttrafik.se/bin/rest.exe/v1/location.name?authKey=XXXX&format=json&jsonpCallback=processJSON&input=kungsportsplatsen",
function(error, result) {
console.log("test");
}
);
There are other questions similar to this on StackOverflow.
You're restricted by the server you're trying to connect to when you do this from the client side (AJAX).
One way to solve it is if you have access to the external server, you can modify the header file to allow some, or all origins by:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
However, if you place the call on the server side and not provide a callback function, the call will be made synchronously, thus not with AJAX, and it should succeed.
Here's
Meteor.methods({checkTwitter: function (userId) {
this.unblock();
var result = Meteor.http.call("GET", "http://api.twitter.com/xyz", {params: {user: userId}});
if (result.statusCode === 200) return true
return false;
}});
