Solved: The javascript policy deletes a space for me

EdwinFerreira · 11-21-2022 08:53 AM

Dear, good afternoon, could you help me with this case.

I am trying to replace %20 by spaces, the idea is that this code should be with two spaces to work correctly, javascript successfully replaces the two %20 by two spaces, but when I see what goes in the request, the code only goes with a space, I do not know if it is at the time of making the context.setVariable, but I deleted a space.

request = context.getVariable("request.content");
print(request);
print('----------------------------------------------------------------------');
request = request.replace('%20%20', '  ');
print(request);
context.setVariable("request.content", request);

Hi

I understand what you wrote. And also, I would be very very surprised if Apigee is causing the unexpected observation you described. There is something else happening.

I suggest that you break down your problem, simplify it, and re-check your observation. Simplify the situation as much as possible. Don't use the large XML file, use a simple one, with just one element. Don't use the final target, use a simple echo server. When I do this, My observation is that the string replacement works as expected.

without string replacement:

<response>
  <body>
    <Inquiry>
      <Emplid>
        <Emplid>123%20%20456</Emplid>
      </Emplid>
      <Languages>
        <Language>English(Speaking)</Language>
      </Languages>
    </Inquiry>
  </body>
</response>

with string replacement:

<response>
  <body>
    <Inquiry>
      <Emplid>
        <Emplid>123  456</Emplid>
      </Emplid>
      <Languages>
        <Language>English(Speaking)</Language>
      </Languages>
    </Inquiry>
  </body>
</response>

This is all as expected, from my point of view.

There is something else in your environment causing the surprise (missing one space) that you are observing.
