Flipper: Android Sample App Post Request failing with 404 error

Created on 18 Aug 2020 · 5Comments · Source: facebook/flipper

🐛 Bug Report

The Android Sample app allows user to "Send POST Request" which can be used to demonstrate the Network Plugin. However, the request is no longer working. It fails with a 404 (Page Not Found) error. It appears the the service used to host the request (mockable.io) is no longer configured correctly.

To Reproduce

1) Start Flipper
2) Start the Android Sample App
3) Issue the post request from the Sample App

4) The request never completes in Flipper. It appears that Flipper never recognizes the failure, the request just appears as an incomplete call. So even in the case of failure, it seems that the request should time-out with a 404 error. So there may be a couple of issues here.

Note: Here is the code that makes the request:

Additional Note:

Here is the same request being run directly from a browser.

Environment

Flipper 0.52.1

@mweststrate I agree. It would be nice to have both GET and POST, something with a bunch of headers and a fairly complex JSON response. And something that is pretty stable. I'll do some research. I also noticed that the sample app for iOS has 3 requests while Android has 2. Probably good to normalize that as well.

Could you add the "plugin-network" label to this issue? I could not figure out how to do it myself. I'm assuming that I don't have access.

Thanks.

Done. P.s. I think it is pretty irrelevant for the demo where it posts to, so any other demo endpoint like for example the star wars api will probably do.
