Working HTTP query in Postman not working in Spring Boot Apache Camel 3.1

Question

I'm new to Apache Camel and I'm struggling with this issue. I want to replicate a simple query working in Postman:

https://{{baseurl}}/v3/company/{{companyid}}/query?query=SELECT id, Metadata.LastUpdatedTime FROM Payment WHERE Metadata.LastUpdatedTime>='2018-01-01' ORDERBY Metadata.LastUpdatedTime, Id STARTPOSITION 1 MAXRESULTS 10 &minorversion=47

The GET request includes the following headers:

Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {very long auth token}

where {very long auth token} is an actual value in practice. I try to replicate this with Apache Camel:

        from("timer:foo?repeatCount=1")
            .setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_METHOD, constant(HttpMethods.GET))
            .setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_PATH, constant("v3/company/{companyid}/query"))
            .setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_QUERY, constant("query=SELECT id, Metadata.LastUpdatedTime FROM Payment WHERE Metadata.LastUpdatedTime>='2018-01-01' " + 
                    "ORDERBY Metadata.LastUpdatedTime, Id STARTPOSITION 1 MAXRESULTS 10 &minorversion=47"))
            .setHeader("Accept", constant("application/json"))
            .setHeader("Authorization", constant("Bearer {very long auth code}"))
            .to("log://PoCMainApp?showBody=true&showBodyType=true&showHeaders=true&showProperties=true")
            .to("http://quickbooks.api.intuit.com")
        ;

where {companyid} and {very long auth token} are actual values in practice. At runtime, the query hangs and eventually timesout. The same happens when the query is pasted in a browser, which evidently doesn't supply the Accept and Authorization headers.

This leads me to think that there could be a problem with the overall payload that Camel constructs.

The log showHeaders=true only shows the same values as in the code - it doesn't show what's actually sent in the request. I have tried to get more debug to sysout without much success. This is a Spring Boot project so log4j.properties are ignored (in my setup at least). Instead, I have transposed log4j settings to application.properties as follows:

camel.springboot.tracing = true

# https://springframework.guru/using-logback-spring-boot
logging.level.httpclient.wire.header=TRACE
logging.level.org.apache.camel.component.http=TRACE
logging.level.org.apache.camel.http.common=TRACE
logging.level.org.apache.camel.http=TRACE
logging.level.org.apache.commons.httpclient=TRACE

This is all the information I get back in sysout:

This has been driving me nuts so I'd be grateful for any assistance.

Thanks in advance, - suitej

As Adam points out above, Intuit only accepts HTTPS.

The solution is:

.to("https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com")
