Calling a local endpoint in scala

Question

basically I have to call a localhost mock server, at this location:

"127.0.0.1:8000/redfish/v1/EventService"

The problem is: fromURL wants a protocol (localhost doesn't have). fromFile wants a directory or a URI. Injecting a URI (created this way:

var uri: URI = new URI("127.0.0.1:8000/redfish/v1/EventService")

throws an exception:

java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in scheme name at index 0:

What method should I use to call a local endpoint?

The protocol that the local endpoint uses, probably it is an http endpoint but maybe it is an https one? Or maybe it uses something else? We really can't know. — Luis Miguel Mejía Suárez, Mar 02 '21 at 17:03

You need to add a scheme:

val uri: URI = new URI("http://127.0.0.1:8000/redfish/v1/EventService")

@MarcoFragDelleMonache yes, why not? It may be good to google what http means. – Luis Miguel Mejía Suárez Mar 02 '21 at 17:03
i perfectly know what http does... simply: can't understand why URI (technicall a local path, right?) doesnt work even without http... but ye, i did it it's ok – Marco Frag Delle Monache Mar 03 '21 at 13:55

thanks to Tomer, i solved by making this:
var url: URL = new URL(http://127.0.0.1:8000/redfish/v1/EventService)
var result: String = fromURL(url).mkString

So yeah, it needs http:// even in local directories.

Feel free to use fromURL()
