Using http.get to get page from frontend

+1
−0

It's possible to use Angular 8 http.get to get a page from the frontend itself ?

My local frontend url: https://192.168.0.177:4200/

I tried in a service:

test(): Observable<string> {
	return this.http
		.get<string>(`https://192.168.0.177:4200/ping`)
		.pipe(catchError(this.processHTTPMsgService.handleError));
}

but I got a 404:

Console:

GET https://192.168.0.177:4200/ping 404 (Not Found)
ERROR 404 - Not Found <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Error</title>
</head>
<body>
<pre>Cannot GET /ping</pre>
</body>
</html>

This has an hardcoded url because it's just a test. My FE is on port 4200 and my backend in 3443.

https://192.168.0.177:4200/ping url load correctly if I put it directly on browser.

The /ping url is an Angular component with only a PING string inside:

ping.component.ts:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
	selector: 'app-ping',
	templateUrl: './ping.component.html'
})
export class PingComponent {

	constructor() { }
}

ping.component.html:

PING

I call service.test() from some other component this way:

test(): void {
	this.myService.test().subscribe(test=>{
		console.log('test', test); // Should result in PING
	})
}

I also tried with axios:

	axios.get('https://192.168.0.177:4200/ping').then(ping=>{
		console.log('ping', ping);
	}).catch(err=>{
		console.log('ping error', err);
	});

with same result.

What I'm trying to do here ? I develop an Angular video application that shows live video stream that take too long. It has a Keycloak login that has an idle limit. So I'm trying to simulate user action in order to make keycloak know it's alive and don't logout automatically.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I am not sure why it fails for you (does switching to HTTP makes it work?), but I do not think it is the correct approach. You might try getting a new token on expiration as indicated here.

I'm updating the tokens correctly. The problem is that besides token expiration Keycloak has another setting called "Idle time". And even renewing tokens when they expire, if there isn't an action from the user, the application is considered "Idle". Thus the problem.
