Invocation Using SSL

Describes, how to invoke REST operations with SSL and sample code.

The Collector SDK allows the programmer to consume Collector end point APIs that might be exposed over HTTPS, with a self-signed certificate. The reference code below depicts how the RestConfiguration can be setup to allow various possibilities with SSL communication between the RestClient and the Collector end point.

# Setting up RestConfiguration with SSLglobal 
rest_configuration = RestConfiguration() 
# the below values should read from configuration file config.json
rest_configuration.host = "https://127.0.0.1:8080"
rest_configuration.verify_ssl = False
rest_configuration.ssl_ca_cert ="<path>/tomcat.cert"
rest_configuration.assert_hostname = "127.0.0.1"
response = rest_client.RestClient(configuration=rest_configuration)                                              .call_api("/resource_path", 'GET',    _preload_content=False,_return_http_data_only=True,query_params={"alt":"json"})
