[err] com.cloudant.client.org.lightcouch.CouchDbException: 400 Bad Request: bad_request: Referer header required.

Please include the following information in your ticket.

• CloudantClient (java-cloudant) version(s) that are affected by this issue. cloudant-client-2.6.2.jar cloudant-http-2.6.2.jar commons-codec-1.6.jar commons-io-2.4.jar gson-2.7.jar
• Java version (including vendor and platform). /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_101.jdk
• If you're using the optional okhttp dependency. NO
• A small code sample that demonstrates the issue

And I'm receiving ERROR message, looks like PUT commands don't working.

These commands are working very well:

// Note: for Cloudant Local or Apache CouchDB use: CloudantClient client = ClientBuilder.url(new URL("http://0.0.0.0:5984")).username("admin") .password("xxxx").disableSSLAuthentication().build();

// Show the server version System.out.println("Server Version: " + client.serverVersion());

// Show databases System.out.println("Dbs: " + client.getAllDbs());

// Get database Database db1 = client.database("dash-db", true);

These commands are NOT working :

=> not working! db1.createIndex("type", "type", null, new IndexField[]{ new IndexField("type",SortOrder.asc)});

=> not working List objTOList = db.findByIndex("\"selector\": {\"type\": \"adoption\"}", ObjTO.class); System.out.println("objTOList " + objTOList);

Exception =>

[err] com.cloudant.client.org.lightcouch.CouchDbException: 400 Bad Request: bad_request: Referer header required. [err] at com.cloudant.client.org.lightcouch.CouchDbClient.execute(CouchDbClient.java:524) [err] at com.cloudant.client.org.lightcouch.CouchDbClient.executeToInputStream(CouchDbClient.java:572) [err] at com.cloudant.client.api.Database.createIndex(Database.java:305) [err] at com.cloudant.client.api.Database.createIndex(Database.java:288)

Any idea ?, thanks !

@sandrodesantis what version of Cloudant Local are you using?

[ricellis]

The createIndex and findByIndex methods utilize the Cloudant query endpoints _index and _find. Those endpoints are not available in CouchDB 1.6 and it returns the 400 Bad Request Referer header required error. The requests will work if you use Cloudant Local or the Cloudant service.
