api,server: apis return their http request type #11382

shwstppr · 2025-08-04T04:19:35Z

Description

This PR adds the httprequesttype parameter to the listApis response, allowing clients to invoke APIs using the appropriate HTTP methods — GET or POST. API classes can specify the supported HTTP methods via annotations. If no annotation is present, the request type will be inferred based on the API name.

good initiative, would it make sense to have GET or POST as default so we don’t have to change all external plugins?

shwstppr · 2025-08-04T08:26:55Z

@DaanHoogland with change, it already returns GET/POST based on the apiName when the annotation is not added,

(local) 🐱 > list apis filter=name,httprequesttype
{
  "api": [
    {
      "httprequesttype": "POST",
      "name": "createVPCOffering"
    },
    {
      "httprequesttype": "POST",
      "name": "ldapCreateAccount"
    },
    {
      "httprequesttype": "POST",
      "name": "copyIso"
    },
    {
      "httprequesttype": "POST",
      "name": "deleteAutoScaleVmProfile"
    },
    {
      "httprequesttype": "POST",
      "name": "rebootSystemVm"
    },
    {
      "httprequesttype": "GET",
      "name": "listDedicatedZones"
    },
    {
      "httprequesttype": "GET",
      "name": "listElastistorPool"
    },
    {
      "httprequesttype": "POST",
      "name": "changeBgpPeersForNetwork"
    },
    {
      "httprequesttype": "POST",
      "name": "removeNodesFromKubernetesCluster"
    },
...

I added the annotation to some classes because they were listed in ApiServlet class as GET commands explicitly

DaanHoogland · 2025-08-04T08:47:09Z

ok, @shwstppr , not claiming this as a universal truth but for this change

    String httpMethod() default “GET";

would have made the change simpler.

@DaanHoogland not necessarily IMO. If we return GET as default, then adding GET annotation will become useless, as we will always be double-checking. Leaving it empty helps in assigning a value using regex only when the annotation is not added
