How to make HTTPS requests with serverside javascript using Worklight?

Question

I\'m toying around with IBM worklight, and am trying to create an adapter to feed some data in from the Google places API.

I want to call this URL :

Answer 1

Looks like googleapis will not work if you don't specify Host header inside of your request. After adding it everything works as it should:

This is adapters's XML section

<connectivity>
    <connectionPolicy xsi:type="http:HTTPConnectionPolicyType">
        <protocol>https</protocol>
        <domain>maps.googleapis.com</domain>
        <port>443</port>            
    </connectionPolicy>
    <loadConstraints maxConcurrentConnectionsPerNode="2" />
</connectivity>

This is adapter's JS:

function doGet() {

var input = {
    method : 'get',
    returnedContentType : 'json',
    path : 'maps/api/place/search/json',
    headers: {
        Host: 'maps.googleapis.com'
    },
    parameters : {
        'key'       :   'AIzaSyCTlPms1pvhzeoRrBao5qW-DJMI_CWcbAM',
        'location'  :   '52.0700,1.1400',
        'radius'    :   '10000',
        'sensor'    :   'false',
        'name'      :   'coffee' 
    }
};

var response = WL.Server.invokeHttp(input);
return response;

}

Answer 2

in your adapter there is also an {ADAPTER NAME}.xml

In it, under connectivity under connectionPolicy, there is the protocol. did you change it to https and deploy?
