Error during transfering data via http-data-plane

Bug Report

The provider connector fails to connect to the endpoint given by the consumer.

Describe the Bug

I want to transfer data via the http-data-plane. I can negotiate a contract and start the transfer. The transferprocess starts as aspected:

But when the actual data-transfer should happen, I get the following error message:

SEVERE 2023-10-10T07:16:17.025202638 Error writing HTTP data null to endpoint http://localhost:4000/api/consumer/store for request: Request{method=POST, url=http://localhost:4000/api/consumer/store}
java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1:4000
        at okhttp3.internal.connection.RealConnection.connectSocket(RealConnection.kt:297)

I start the transfer with the following POST:

curl --request POST \
  --url http://localhost:9192/api/management/v2/transferprocesses \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'User-Agent: insomnia/8.1.0' \
  --header 'x-api-key: ApiKeyDefaultValue' \
  --data '{
        "@context": {
          "edc": "https://w3id.org/edc/v0.0.1/ns/"
        },
        "@type": "TransferRequestDto",
        "connectorId": "consumer",
        "connectorAddress": "http://company1:8282/api/dsp",
        "contractId": "YWdncmVnYXRlZERhdGE=:YWdncmVnYXRlZERhdGE=:MDdmYmY5ZTItMWM4Yy00NTEzLTk4NzEtZWY0Zjc5MGJiODBk",

        "dataDestination": { 
          "type": "HttpData",
          "baseUrl": "http://localhost:4000/api/consumer/store"
        },
                "managedResources": true,
                "transferType": {
        "isFinite": true
    }
}'

The endpoint "http://localhost:4000/api/consumer/store" is reachable and should work for the transfer. What could be the problem here?

Expected Behavior

The data should be transfered

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run the MVD locally
2. Register Assets and Dataplane for Http-data-transfer
3. Get Contractagreement
4. Start Transfer

Also the HttpDataSource appears to be failing to fetch data from the sample endpoint https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users, as the returned content is null. @ndr-brt Do you have any insights regarding this issue?

[ndr-brt]

your dataDestination value is telling the provider connector that the consumer is expecting the data to be pushed to an endpoint exposed at the url http://localhost:4000/api/consumer/store. The error java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1:4000 is telling us that there's no endpoint exposed on that port.

[Jens011203]

That's somehow not the problem. I started the server in the terminal with the following command:

HTTP_SERVER_PORT=4000 java -jar http_request_logger/build/libs/http_request_logger-0.2.0.jar

The logs confirmed that the HTTP request server logger successfully started at port 4000, which is the expected behaviour. To further verify this, I tested it with the HTTP-push sample and indeed it functioned correctly.

However, when attempting to use it in the MVD, I get this error.

[ndr-brt]

did you started the endpoint into the docker network? I don't think so, because otherwise the hostname won't be localhost. the MVD is running into a docker compose network, so every other service will need to do that as well

Thank you for your help. I hadn't considered this. I'm going to close the issue now.
