I am trying to POST some data into a REST server generated via Hyperledger composer. I have a JSON file and I am trying to use NodeJS and the Request module to post. However, it seems like the request module can find my link.
This is where I am trying to POST my assets (this is on the REST server):
I copied and pasted the url to this post section into my inputter.js code
Here is my current directory (I am running the inputter.js file):
Here is my inputter.js code:
var request = require('request');
var requestData = require("./input.json");
var url = "http://localhost:3000/explorer/#!/models95certificateModel95certificate/models_certificateModel_certificate_create";
request({
url: url,
method: "POST",
headers: {
"content-type": "application/json",
},
json: requestData
}, function (error, response, body) {
if(error)
throw error;
console.log('statusCode:', response && response.statusCode);
console.log('body:', body);
});
and here is the JSON data I am trying to input:
[
{
"$class": "models.certificateModel.certificate",
"hash" : "36ba3cf8261e1d203eafcf102f6426a9f0ff38edc62df6d7359938b2f358d68b8ce568325ebcd1ddfb3f64ebe41b73fc84d8fecd9023f834b487738ae02c6370",

}
]
I did a manual entry of the data on the REST server and everything in the JSON file seems to be valid.
When I run my inputter.js application, though, I get a 404 error. Here is the body of the error:

I am relatively new to the request module and cannot figure out exactly what is happening here. Can the request module not read localhost addresses? What exactly am I missing here?
