10/05/2020, 11:36 PMbeyond the general statement that you are better off calling the restlet code as a custom module from the suitelet

10/05/2020, 11:37 PMthe internal url for a restlet requires that the jsessionid cookie be set to a valid value
battk
10/05/2020, 11:37 PMthe external url for a restlet is the one that uses oauth headers
battk
10/05/2020, 11:54 PMif you still want to try generating oauth headers, i recommend OAuth 1.0a, which can be used with crypto-js to do the hashing. use the older 3.3.0 version of crypto-js

10/06/2020, 5:01 AMboth packages are written to support both browsers and node
battk
10/06/2020, 5:01 AMthose kind of packages are most likely to work in netsuite
battk
10/06/2020, 5:02 AMmy primary advice to you is to use the code in the restlet as a custom module in your suitelet
battk
10/06/2020, 5:02 AMif for whatever reason that doesnt work, use the 2 packages from npm to generate the headers for you
battk
10/06/2020, 5:03 AMthe alternative is doing the crypto yourself, which is easy to get wrong

10/06/2020, 8:38 AMI’m stuck again because my external system can’t seem to call the Suitelet (external URL works in the browser but not elsewhere, such as using curl). I just get “This request is missing a required parameter.”

10/06/2020, 8:39 AMBasically I have a Slack - NetSuite integration, but Slack can’t send the OAuth headers, so right now I have a PHP script working as a go-between to build the headers. So it goes Slack -> PHP Script -> RESTlet. But we want to remove the PHP Script and just go straight to NetSuite. So I was hoping to use a Suitelet to build the OAuth headers. Slack -> Suitelet -> RESTlet.

10/06/2020, 8:40 AMdo the restlet as a custom module so its only slack -> suitelet
battk
10/06/2020, 8:47 AMkeep in mind that suitelets have requirements for acceptable headers, so make sure to test slack with the suitelet before going too far down the oauth route

10/06/2020, 2:32 PMThat’s the issue, the Suitelet only seems to work in a browser

10/06/2020, 7:26 PMif you are getting a 405 status error, its probably because of the user agent

10/06/2020, 8:32 PMI think so too. But I can’t send/edit the headers
jen
10/06/2020, 8:32 PMthis is so frustrating
