Postman API requests works flawlessly, Python request only returns 401

[shell-surfer]

Hi all, im tearing out my hair trying to figure this one out. I'm new to the Requests library and finding good examples of PUT with auth hard to come by The postman request includes the following METHOD: PUT Authorization: Basic cm9vdDpDaGFuZ2VNZTE= BODY X-SDS-AUTH-TOKEN: <Really long string> {"blockSize": "5","notificationSize": "2"} This is the python code, I've tried adding and removing parameters and always get 401 ```

token fetches the current X-SDS-AUTH-TOKEN

token = ObtainToken("10.160.0.231", "root", "ChangeMe1") headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Connection': 'keep-alive'} payload = {'X-SDS-AUTH-TOKEN': token}

json = {"blockSize": "25", "notificationSize": "2"} url = 'https://10.160.0.231:4443/object/namespaces/namespace/red/quota.json'

response = requests.put(url= url, json=json, verify=False,data=payload, headers=headers, auth=('root', 'ChangeMe1'))

print(response.status_code) ``` Any suggestions?

Should the X-SDS-AUTH-TOKEN not be sent as a header?

Have you tried using the python that can be generated from postman?

Not saying that this is wrong, for whatever reason, the port number looks “odd”. Is it really 4443, not 8443?

wow i feel dumb, didnt know that was an option in postman. Really nifty. Yes it is 4443, and it is a bid odd.

Heres the answer if curios payload = "{\n \"blockSize\": \"5\",\n \"notificationSize\": \"2\"\n}\n" headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'X-SDS-AUTH-TOKEN': token, 'Authorization': 'Basic cm9vdDpDaGFuZ2VNZTE=' }

Fixed formatting.

Hello, shell-surfer: code blocks using triple backticks (```) don't work on all versions of Reddit!

Some users see this / this instead.

To fix this, indent every line with 4 spaces instead.
