1200859 - Push notification server rejects POST requests

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Cloud Services Graveyard :: Server: WebPush, defect)

Description

[Brendan Dahl [:bdahl]]

STR
1) Get an endpoint url using the new PushManager API
2) Send a post request to the URL (e.g.
curl -ivs -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"username":"xyz","password":"xyz"}' https://updates.push.services.mozilla.com/push/<UUID>)

Expected:
HTTP/1.1 201 Created

Got:
HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed

If I use a 'put' request the notification works, but I still get an incorrect response of HTTP/1.1 200.

SPEC:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-webpush-protocol-00#section-5

This is correct. we have yet to roll out the WebPush spec version of push. We are currently using the older SimplePush specification until the WebPush spec becomes finalized. We currently have several deployed services that require the older service that have not yet been moved to the new spec. 

If you're interested in using push.services in it's current implementation, MDN has information about how to configure your app to use it. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API

Unfortunately, we don't have a schedule for when we will have a WebPush compliant server available, as there are still some significant issues outstanding in the spec.
