Cannot do HHTP POST request #4

Closed Ghitafjorback closed 4 years ago

Ghitafjorback commented 4 years ago

Hi, Wondering if you can tell me why I cannot do the HTTP POST request on my Hue Sync Box.

I am using ReqBin.com for the HTTP POST request and followed your instructions, but I keep getting the below-mentioned error:

"ReqBin cannot sent a request to the 192.168.##.###. This IP address is available only from your local network."

I really would love to use this plugin, but get stuck in the very beginning.

The raw data I have is:

POST /api/v1/registrations HTTP/1.1 Host: 192.168.##.### Accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json Content-Length: 118

{ "appName": "homebridge", "appSecret": "MDAwMTExMDAwMTExMDAwMTExMDAwMTExMDAwMTExMDA=", "instanceName": "homebridge" }

Thank you in advance Ghita

The tool you are using (reqbin.com) can only be used on the internet. In order to send request from within the local network, use tools like cURL or wget (command line tool), or UI-based tools like PostMan (free).

Worked perfectly with Postman! Thanks!

Thanks for the Postman recommendation too! I'm a newbie, stumbling around trying to figure this out, and that tool helped me greatly.

Thank you @lukasroegner for developing such a great homebridge plugin. You've supercharged the Hue Sync box and now it's even more excellent :)
