Http module in prosody plugin

Install & Config
,
#1

I am working on a prosody module and in that I have created some API end points. But I am unable to access them with curl.

    module:depends("http");
    module:provides("http", {
        default_path = "/",
        route = {
            ["GET room-max-participants"] = function(event)
                return async_handler_wrapper(event, handle_get_max_occupants)
            end,
            ["SET room-max-participants"] = function(event)
                return async_handler_wrapper(event, handle_set_max_occupants)
            end
        }
    });

And

curl http://localhost:5280/room-max-participants is returning 404 error.

</head>
<body>

Please help me resolving the issue.

Try turning on debug mode and see messages to see to which domain those endpoints are attached to, apparently, you don’t have a hostname localhost defined in prosody.

#3

Here are the logs for the curl command

Jan 08 06:37:00 socket  debug   server.lua: accepted new client connection from 127.0.0.1:36246 to 5280
Jan 08 06:37:00 http.server debug   Firing event: GET /room-max-participants

Jan 08 06:37:00 socket  debug   server.lua: closed client handler and removed socket from list

/etc/prosody/conf.avail has 2 lua configuration file.

  1. localhost.cfg.lua

    -- Section for localhost

-- This allows clients to connect to localhost. No harm in it.
VirtualHost "localhost"

  2. jitsi.ourdomain.com.cfg.lua

    VirtualHost "jitsi.ourdomain.com"
        ssl = {
                key = "/etc/prosody/certs/jitsi.ourdomain.com.key";
                certificate = "/etc/prosody/certs/jitsi.ourdomain.com.crt";
        }
        -- other config
        modules_enabled = {
            "bosh";
            "websocket";
            ... --other plugins
            "http";
        }
        c2s_require_encryption = false
        lobby_muc = "lobby.jitsi.ourdomain.com"
        main_muc = "conference.jitsi.ourdomain.com"
    ```

And https is enabled on the ourdomain.

#4

Have you tried
curl http://jitsi.ourdomain.com:5280/room-max-participants?
Or if you can set the curl command the host header to your domain then the localhost url will also work.

#5

Here are the outputs for given commands.

  1. domain with http

    curl http://jitsi.ourdomain.com:5280/room-max-participants

    curl: (7) Failed to connect to jitsi.ourdomain.com port 5280: Connection refused

  2. domain with https

    curl https://jitsi.ourdomain.com:5281/room-max-participants

    curl: (7) Failed to connect to jitsi.ourdomain.com port 5281: Connection refused

  3. Passing host header into the localhost

    curl -H ‘Host:jitsi.ourdomain.com’ http://localhost:5280/room-max-participants

        <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>404 Not Found</title>
    <style>
    body{
        margin-top:14%;
        text-align:center;
        background-color:#F8F8F8;
        font-family:sans-serif;
    }
    h1{
        font-size:xx-large;
    }
    p{
        font-size:x-large;
    }
    p+p {
        font-size:large;
        font-family:courier;
    }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h1>404 Not Found</h1>
    <p>Whatever you were looking for is not here. Keep looking.</p>
    <p></p>
    </body>
    </html>

    In this case, error message is empty on passing host header as “jitsi.ourdomain.com”, but for any other value, it is returning the same error (i.e “Unknown host”)

#6

is your module enabled under the jitsi.ourdomain.com virtual host?

#7

yes, the module is enabled, other functions and hooks working fine.

#8

But I’m asking where it is enabled? As I don’t see it under the virtualhost config, it should be there.

#9

We have enabled it under conference component.

Component "conference.jitsi.ourdomain.com" "muc"
    storage = "memory"
    modules_enabled = {
        "muc_meeting_id";
        "muc_domain_mapper";
        -- "token_verification";
	    "muc_max_occupants";
    }
    muc_max_occupants = "10";
    muc_access_whitelist = { "focus@auth.jitsi.ourdomain.com"}
    admins = { "focus@auth.jitsi.ourdomain.com" }
    muc_room_locking = false
    muc_room_default_public_jids = true
    main_muc = "conference.jitsi.ourdomain.com"
#10

So you have added your code in any of the existing modules … ?
If the code is under the muc component … I think then the Host header you set to curl must be ‘conference.jitsi.ourdomain.com’.

#11

@damencho,
Yes, I have added the code in muc_max_occupants plugin.
Even I tried with host header as " ‘conference.jitsi.ourdomain.com’, still it is throwing the same error as ‘jitst.ourdomain.com’(i.e 404 error with empty error message)

#12

Please help me in resolving the issue. I am new into this.

#13

Try it under the main virtual host.
