Adding a user to roster only partially works

Greetings, Redor, Thank you for creating a very useful, much-needed API! I hope that Ignite pulls this into their base someday.

Scenario: Openfire 3.10 REST API 1.1.0 1) Create username "newuser" 2) Add a previously registered user "testuser" to "newuser"'s roster (by "previously", I mean I did not use this API to register "testuser"). 3) Add "newuser" to "testuser"'s roster

Outcome: 1) Works very well 2) Works somewhat: it returns 201 but presents problems 3) Works somewhat: it returns 201 but presents problems

Process: Not that it matters, but all requests are sent with cURL/PHP. I'm seeing everything on the wire with a tcpdump so I know exactly what's being sent. Also, I am using JSON for all requests.

Problems: The problems for 2) and 3) are as follows:

• The new roster's "Nickname"s are listed as "null". When opening chat clients or the openfire admin page, the names appear as the string "null".
• In openfire's admin page, "Subscriptions" are listed as the string "none". As such, when I open clients to test both usernames to see if they have added each other, neither have 'authorized' the other so, depending on client, they may or may not appear to be online (with Pidgin for example, the newly added user is show as "Not Authorized").

Data: 1) POST /plugins/restapi/v1/users/ HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:9090 Accept: application/json Authorization: Content-type: application/json User-Agent: curl/PHP Content-Length: 117

{"username":"newuser","password":"password123","name":"newuser","email":"newuser@server.domain","groups":[]}

2) POST /plugins/restapi/v1/users/newuser/roster HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:9090 Accept: application/json Authorization: Content-type: application/json User-Agent: curl/PHP Content-Length: 72

{"jid":"testuser@server.domain","name":"testuser","subscription":"3"}

3) POST /plugins/restapi/v1/users/testuser/roster HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:9090 Accept: application/json Authorization: Content-type: application/json User-Agent: curl/PHP Content-Length: 74

{"jid":"newuser@server.domain","name":"newuser","subscription":"3"}

Solutions: I know that subscriptionType is an integer and I have tried every iteration possible that I could think of for the "subscription" value, such as: 0, 1, 2, 3, true, false (and all of these in quotations). None of these have worked.

Am I missing a step or is this a bug? Could you provide a working JSON example for the above process?

Thank you for your help!

Hey,

The subscription parameter should be named "subscriptionType" and not "subscription". And the "name" paramter should be "nickname". That should work:

{
  "rosterItem": {
    "jid": "test@localhost.de",
    "nickname": "redeyes",
    "subscriptionType": "1"
  }
}

Excellent! This works great. Thank you!
