Hello Monks,
I am authenticating
through Rackspace API with the following code (using LWP):
sub authenticate {
# Create a request
my $req =
HTTP::Request->new(
POST => 'https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/tokens'
+);
$req->content_type('application/json');
#my $json = '{"auth":{"RAX-KSKEY:apiKeyCredentials":{"username":"f
+oo", "apiKey":"00000000000000000000000000000000"}}}';
my $json = quotemeta( {"auth":{"RAX-KSKEY:apiKeyCredentials":{"use
+rname":$USERNAME, "apiKey":$API_KEY}}} );
$req->content( $json );
# Pass request to the user agent and get a response back
my $res = $ua->request($req);
# Check the outcome of the response
if ( $res->is_success ) {
# Do stuff ...
} else {
print $res->status_line, "\n";
}
}
The problem is that I am not able to interpolate the variables in JSON
string ($USERNAME and $API_KEY) - I am getting 400 BadRequest response. I have tried quotemeta (in the
code snippet above), \Q and \E operators, escaping JSON double
quotes with \.
The commented out $json line (with hard-coded credentials) works
just fine.
