SDK requires Ziti service name == url.hostname ?

[qrkourier]

There's a comment in this app that uses the SDK that says

Note: ziti-sdk-nodejs (currently) requires service name to match URL host

ref: https://github.com/openziti/ziti-webhook-action/blob/main/index.js#L109

Is this still the case? I don't have the option to strictly define the Ziti service name in my case because I'm using ZEDS which generates a service name based on the name that I provide.

I stumbled upon the comment about the service name matching because the ziti-webhook-action app hangs after successfully initializing the Ziti connection.

@qrkourier I believe this issue has been resolved in version 0.13.0. When you get a chance, try it out and let me know if you still experience problems.

[qrkourier]

@rentallect I see this example in the main readme:

ziti.httpRequest(
  'myDarkWebService', 
  'GET', 
  '/',              // path
  ['Accept: application/json' ], // headers
  undefined,        // optional on_req cb 
  undefined,        // optional on_req_data cb
  on_resp_data      // optional on_resp_data cb
);

Is it accurate that myDarkWebService may be either of:

• the Ziti service name, or
• the url.origin e.g. https://example.org:443

and that the path param should be the url.pathname+url.search i.e. the URL path part concatenated with query params e.g. /path/to/api?foo=bar&this=that?

With that usage I got this error, and so the SDK seems to be failing to resolve the Ziti service by intercept address.

(1718)[        0.460]   ERROR ziti-sdk:ziti_src.c:95 ziti_src_connect() no service for address[tcp:webhookz.ziti:80]

EDIT: another troubleshooting step I took was to send the Ziti service name as first positional instead of the HTTP origin. I got an error from the C function when it failed to resolve the name.

Error: zitiHttpRequest failed: Error: Unknown serviceName

I should mention that I have previously connected to the same service with the same identity and so have no reason to suspect this is an authorization or configuration problem in the Ziti network.

[qrkourier]

I verified that my service's intercept.v1 config is:

{
  "addresses": [
    "webhookz.ziti"
  ],
  "protocols": [
    "tcp"
  ],
  "portRanges": [
    {
      "low": 80,
      "high": 80
    }
  ]
}

And I am able to get the expected response from the service via a tunneler on my workstation like this:

http POST http://webhookz.ziti/post this=that

I'm using env ZITI_LOG=4 to get DEBUG logging from the C SDK and so I am able to verify that my Node app has a Ziti identity context for the correct Ziti network by comparing the URL of the controller.

[qrkourier]

I think httpRequest calls this C function: https://github.com/openziti/ziti-sdk-nodejs/blob/main/src/Ziti_https_request.c#L740 which has comments clarifying that the first positional may be service name or URL, but I think "HTTP origin" might be more accurate since the path part is passed separately and becomes addon_data->path which is composed as the httpsReq object, if I'm reading this correctly.
