Hi all, I'm trying to confirm an Amazon SNS subscription with a web2py controller action. The Amazon SNS subscription format is described here<http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/sns/latest/gsg/SendMessageToHttp.html#SendMessageToHttp.confirm> (through probably not necessary to understand this problem.)
My controller action (default/amazon_sns_endpoint) basically just emails request.vars and request.args to myself. It receives a POST request from the subscription service. However, for some reason, it doesn't seem to be able to process the POST request, i.e. request.vars and request.args are always {} and []. (I do, however, get the email.) Maybe web2py messes up when it handles some of the headers? An example POST request looks like this: POST / HTTP/1.1 x-amz-sns-message-type: SubscriptionConfirmation x-amz-sns-message-id: 165545c9-2a5c-472c-8df2-7ff2be2b3b1b x-amz-sns-topic-arn: arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:MyTopic x-amz-sns-subscription-arn: arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:MyTopic:2bcfbf39-05c3-41de-beaa-fcfcc21c8f55 Content-Length: 1336 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Host: example.com Connection: Keep-Alive User-Agent: Amazon Simple Notification Service Agent { "Type" : "SubscriptionConfirmation", "MessageId" : "165545c9-2a5c-472c-8df2-7ff2be2b3b1b", "Token" : "2336412f37fb687f5d51e6e241d09c805a5a57b30d712f794cc5f6a988666d92768dd60a747ba6f3beb71854e285d6ad02428b09ceece29417f1f02d609c582afbacc99c583a916b9981dd2728f4ae6fdb82efd087cc3b7849e05798d2d2785c03b0879594eeac82c01f235d0e717736", "TopicArn" : "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:MyTopic", "Message" : "You have chosen to subscribe to the topic arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:MyTopic.\nTo confirm the subscription, visit the SubscribeURL included in this message.", "SubscribeURL" : "https://sns.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/?Action=ConfirmSubscription&TopicArn=arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:MyTopic&Token=2336412f37fb687f5d51e6e241d09c805a5a57b30d712f794cc5f6a988666d92768dd60a747ba6f3beb71854e285d6ad02428b09ceece29417f1f02d609c582afbacc99c583a916b9981dd2728f4ae6fdb82efd087cc3b7849e05798d2d2785c03b0879594eeac82c01f235d0e717736", "Timestamp" : "2012-04-26T20:45:04.751Z", "SignatureVersion" : "1", "Signature" : "skvXQIEpH+DcEwjAPg8O9mY8dReBSwksfg2S7WKQcikcNKWLQjwu6A4VbeS0QHVCkhRS7fUQvi2egU3N858fiTDN6bkkOxYDVrY0Ad8L10Hs3zH81mtnPk5uvvolIC1CXGu43obcgFxeL3khZl8IKvO61GWB6jI9b5+gLPoBc1Q=", "SigningCertURL" : "https://sns.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/SimpleNotificationService-f3ecfb7224c7233fe7bb5f59f96de52f.pem" } --
