问题
I'm using a 32-bit microcontroller (program code written in C) with very limited flash space that is communicating with a cellular module. I have an Azure account setup with an IoT Hub and I would like to send some device-to-cloud messages to my IoT Hub. I have tested and confirmed both HTTP and HTTPS communication to other servers. However, I can't find anywhere that specifies what the required HTTP headers are for sending a device-to-cloud message. Can anyone provide a description of the required HTTP message format (the HTTP start line, required HTTP headers and the HTTP header values)?
I found the Azure SDK for C, but even with all the optimization options turned on it takes up too much codespace for my microcontroller. I've tried following the code in the SDK for how the HTTP message is built, but I seem to be missing some pieces. I only have two or three device-to-cloud messages that I am sending, so I assume that if I know what the headers are it won't take much code to generate the device-to-cloud messages.
The cellular module I have is handling the X.509 certificates for mutual TLS authentication. Assume that is working. For this question I'm only concerned with finding the required HTTP message formatting for a Azure IoT device-to-cloud message.
EDIT: Following a suggestion from a comment, I was eventually led to this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/iothub/device/senddeviceevent
Using the suggested HTTP POST (with my device specifics replaced), I am now getting a 401 error (IotHubUnauthorizedAccess). I thought I understood how the authentication was supposed to work, but I guess I was wrong.
My IoT device has a symmetric key. I thought I was supposed to include a header formatted as:
Authorization:SharedAccessKey=<my_primary_key>
but that doesn't work. My HTTP body is simply:
{"deviceID":<my_IoT_Device_ID>}
Where am I supposed to include the symmetric key information, and what is its format?
回答1:
After some trial and error, we found out it's much easier than we thought. If you are using X.509 certificates for client authentication, you don't need to include anything in the HTTP message content to specify your authentication. The minimum required for an Azure device-to-cloud message using X.509 certificates for authentication is:
POST /devices/<id>/messages/events?api-version=2018-06-30 HTTP/1.1
Host:<fully-qualified-iothubname>.azure-devices.net
Content-Length:<number-of-bytes-in-the-JSON-body>
{"deviceID":"<id>",<your-JSON-formatted-custom-d2c-message-data>}
where <id> is the device ID as listed on the Azure IoT Hub and <fully-qualified-iothubname> is the IoT Hub name. I believe Azure supports chunked encoding if you want to do that instead of using the Content-Length header.
