Resolved Getting 415 / 400 when querying test allocation via REST api

Hey,

I've been trying to create a test allocation for the last few days and I'm stuck now, on two seemingly independent problems.

1. When using my browser to make the request, I get a status 400. I think I got past the authentication, because I am getting access denied if I change something in the request header (initially I assumed capitalization doesn't matter but it seems the authorization header value has to have a capital letter for Basic). The response I get now is:

The body of the request is as follows. I generated the UUID for the allocation myself (my understanding is that's what I'm supposed to do). I currently have only one build, build config, and fleet. I got the build configuration id from the fleet's build configurations, and the region id from the scaling settings.

2. When using UnityWebRequest, I keep getting a 415 Invalid Media Type, but I don't find anything that is wrongly configured (and I'm using the same links and headers for the request via the browser). This problem is the reason I started trying via the browser before trying to resolve it, because I thought perhaps I'm using the API wrong somehow.

The code for this:

Code (CSharp):

1.     static async Task<AllocationRequestResponse> _QueueTestAllocationRequest(InitGameSessionServerData initServerData)
2.     {
3.         AllocationRequest payload;
4.         payload.allocationId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
5.         payload.buildConfigurationId = _buildConfigurationId;
6.         payload.payload = JsonUtility.ToJson(initServerData);
7.         payload.regionId = _regionId;
8.         payload.restart = false;
9.         string jsonPayload = JsonUtility.ToJson(payload);
10.  
11.         string path = _multiplayTestAllocationPath;
12.         string headerName = "Authorization";
13.         string headerValue = $"Basic {_keyIdAndSecret}";
14.         var tokenReq = new UnityWebRequest(path, UnityWebRequest.kHttpVerbPOST);
15.         tokenReq.SetRequestHeader(headerName, headerValue);
16.         tokenReq.uploadHandler = new UploadHandlerRaw(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(jsonPayload));
17.  
18.         var tokenOp = tokenReq.SendWebRequest();
19.         while (!tokenOp.isDone) await Task.Delay(100);
20.  
21.         if (tokenReq.responseCode != 202)
22.             Debug.LogError($"Queue test allocation request failed '{tokenReq.responseCode}': '{tokenReq.error}'");
23.         if (tokenReq.downloadHandler != null)
24.             return JsonUtility.FromJson<AllocationRequestResponse>(tokenReq.downloadHandler.text);
25.         return default;
26.     }

Of course, I double-checked all the links and IDs, and I even wrote them from scratch.
Any ideas are welcome!

 

Turns out I was missing a

content-type

header specifying

application/json

.. The web newbie mistake I suppose!
