Proxy page has no login "Looking for something else? Go to the previous version"

[gregorykau]

This may not be an issue as such, and might just be down to me misunderstanding the initialisation parameters, but I can't get the proxy page to return anything other than this screen. I can't login here to have the cookies retrieved.

Service host: alexa.amazon.com.au Page: amazon.com.au

Is this a known issue?

I am using 5.0.25.

Thanks!

Not yet. Thanks for reporting. What happens when you scan and log in via the app? I presume the page should then automatically refresh and the cookie should be picked up.

[gregorykau]

Unfortunately not, the qr is just a link to "https://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html#v2/home", and is not associated with the page request.

https://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html Redirects to a login page as expected. But I can't get to this page from the proxy to perform the login which can then (I assume) capture the cookie.

[bbindreiter]

Thank you, got it.

Could someone with a AU service host confirm the problem (backup your cookie file first so you can go back to being logged in)?

[ArekKubacki]

The same on amazon.com. No chance to log in.

[bbindreiter]

Alright. having the same problem now as well. Should be just a redirect/or different landing page url, I will debug it tonight.

[gregorykau]

I haven't delved much into alexa-remote2 as of yet, but as a quick personal hack...

alexa-cookie2/lib/proxy.js Setting Line 138 to... _options.baseAmazonPag = 'amazon.com.au/spa/index.html'

Gets past the issue. Don't know about the intermediary layers of how this all comes together.

[bbindreiter]

Yes 👍, I will add a PR on alexa-cookie to add /spa/index.html to the base url. This lib is used in alexa-remote which is used in applestrudel.

[gregorykau]

Gotcha! I should've raised the issue there, but posted on this repository before I bothered to look into it properly. Laziness I'm afraid, hence the want to automate in the first place :D

[ArekKubacki]

@gregorykau Does the change you provided work? It throws an error for me.

https://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html/ HTTP ERROR 404

I think the problem is in the "/" at the end but I can't get rid of it. Are you able to send your alexa-cookie2/lib/proxy.js file? Because in mine in the given line there is something completely different.

[bbindreiter]

It's not that easy. I hacked in the /spa/index.html appendix into the cookie library but then the proxy, unlike when opening it in the browser directly, gets a cloudfront error back. I think we need @Apollon77

This is working for me currently.

"version": "4.1.3", alexa-cookie2\lib\proxy.js Starting at line 137

    let proxyCookies = '';

    _options.baseAmazonPag = 'amazon.com.au/spa/index.html';

    // proxy middleware options
    const optionsAlexa = {

[ArekKubacki]

It is not working for me :(

[bbindreiter]

Here's a workaround that has always worked for me so far:

1.) Clear all your cookies from alexa.amazon.com

2.) Restart node-red so you get the open http://your-hostname:3456 message

3.) Open a new tab and go to https://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html -> login with your credentials

4.) Open a new tab and open the link that node-red shows -> If you get the page shown as below click on the "Looking for something else?" link in the top left.

5.) Login happens automatically, cookie is fetched and once you see http://your-hostname:3456/cookie-success in the URL bar you're all set and can go back to node red.

[Apollon77]

Can noone provide me with a fukll debug log of that? Normally The / call on the proxy port should directly forward to the Login mask from amazon and not to that alexa.amazon.de page, thats why I would like to understand what happens here

[bbindreiter]

Email sent. Thank you!

Thanks for your work! I've been working on it for a while but nothing changes. Which flavor of the node-red-alexa should I be working with? TIA Doc
