Example of how to sign a request in Ruby (1.9.x)
Ruby
require 'digest/md5' require "erb" include ERB::Util token = "5436gdfdhgfh7b66bgfg4436c28" puts "Token:\n #{token} \n\n" secret = "fsdfg43321dsafg" puts "Secret:\n #{secret} \n\n" request = "http://site.meridix.se/api/customer/listcustomers" puts "Request:\n #{request} \n\n" nonce = Random.new.rand(100000...999999).to_s puts "Nonce:\n #{nonce} \n\n" timestamp = Time.now.utc.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S"); puts "Timestamp:\n #{timestamp} \n\n" parameters = [ "auth_nonce=" + nonce, "auth_timestamp=" + timestamp, "auth_token=" + token ] parameters = parameters.sort requestEncoded = url_encode(request); puts "RequestEncoded:\n #{requestEncoded} \n\n" parametersConcated = parameters.join("&") puts "ParametersConcated:\n #{parametersConcated} \n\n" parametersConcatedEncoded = url_encode(parametersConcated) puts "ParametersConcatedEncoded:\n #{parametersConcatedEncoded} \n\n" # IMPORTANT - The GET&-prefix must be change to POST& etc. when using different HTTP Verbs than GET. verbRequestQuery = "GET&" + requestEncoded + "&" + parametersConcatedEncoded + "&" + secret; puts "VerbRequestQuery:\n #{verbRequestQuery} \n\n" signature = Digest::MD5.hexdigest(verbRequestQuery) puts "Signature:\n #{signature} \n\n" signedRequest = request + "?" + parametersConcated + "&auth_signature=" + signature puts "SignedRequest:\n #{signedRequest} \n\n" Â
