no response using iodocs

Question

HI I have deployed the iodocs locally,and its working for the samples given. but for my api its giving empty response.

here is what i appended to /data/apiconfig.json

"cloudspokes": {
    "name": "cloudspokes",
    "protocol": "http",
    "baseURL": "cloudspokes.com",
    "publicPath": "",
    "auth": ""
} 

and here is /data/cloudspokes.json

{
"endpoints":[
  {
     "name":"Challenges",
     "methods":[
        {
           "MethodName":"challenges",
           "Synopsis":"This method returns a list of challenges.",
           "HTTPMethod":"GET",
           "URI":"/challenges.json",
           "RequiresOAuth":"N",
           "parameters":[

            ]
        }

      ]
  }

 ]
}

iodocs is rendering the interface correctly

also going to http://cloudspokes.com/challenges.json returns non empty response. I am new to this , please help .

Answer 1

The quick fix is to update your apiconfig.json block for cloudspokes to look like this:

"cloudspokes": {
    "name": "cloudspokes",
    "protocol": "http",
    "baseURL": "www.cloudspokes.com",
    "publicPath": "",
    "auth": ""
} 

The difference is that I added the "www." prefix to the baseURL hostname. How did I know you needed this? Because I turned on debugging and saw that it was throwing a 301 (redirect). Check the config.json file and change debug to be true and you'll see the same thing.

But again, quick fix, just add www. to the baseURL , and you're all set.
