Hi,

I'm trying to get the authenticated user in a module, but I'm failing. I thought, by reading the doc, it should be possible to do
but I'm getting "undefined". What am I missing?

Hi,

I think you could try the following to log the http object:
The log file contains than the object as string and you can view the structure and content of http object.

My proposal does not help much:
... log: [object ZWayHTTP]
... log: {}

Aaah, sounds great. Tried it but unfortunately just got empty structure

console.log(http);

console.log(JSON.stringify(http));

... log: {}

Yes, just tried it as well

http is a built-in JS object that allows to make requests. This is certainly not what you want. May be you can explain a bit in more details?

Yes, I read the other modules and saw that it is often used to make requests. I want to read the incoming request on the server side. E.g if the client issues the command:
I'd like to retreive the "user_1" from the client call - in my module on the server side. Or if this is impossible I'd like to retreive some custom headers - so if the client issues the call:
I'd like to retreive, on the server side, the value of "custom_user_header" by using something like "http.request.headers.custom_user_header".

Please look in sources. request object exists in some scopes, but not in all handlers

Yes, I've looked in the sources, but is there any doc of the "flow" (client -> server), i.e. which handlers etc that are run when a client call is issued? I can see that there is some logic regarding the request object in e.g. WebserverRequestRouter.js, AuthController.js etc, but the call sequence is quite hard to grasp.

That's true, it is not easy to understand. put an exception (like a = 0/0;) in any place and you will cee traceback

Unfortunatelly we have no good guide on the backend, so you have to look into sources ;( Hopefully they are available
