Trouble logging out with .php?

PatBC · October 2018

I have a question :

When I use the API to access and edit a product, I’m able to log out easily with this simple .php code :

$urllogout = "https://192.168.0.116:9630/api/sessions/current/logout/";

$rest->createRequest($urllogout, "POST", NULL, $_SESSION['cookies'][0]);

$rest->sendRequest();

When it comes to only grabbing infos through “GET”, the API never logs off. I use the exact same code, but this time, when I read the REST_CONNECTOR OBJECT it says something like :

RESTConnector Object
(
    [root_url:RESTConnector:private] => 
    [curr_url:RESTConnector:private] => https://192.168.0.116:9630/api/sessions/current/logout/
    [exception:RESTConnector:private] => 
    [responseBody:RESTConnector:private] => Unexpected HTTP Status: 403 Forbidden server.forbidden
    [cookieJar:RESTConnector:private] => HTTP_Request2_CookieJar Object

So yeah, a 403 error which couldn’t be related to the fact that there is multiple licenses (I am only using one, it’s 3 AM and no one else is working), so according to your tutorials, it shouldn’t be related to the user-seats, so does it mean that my URL is malformed? Do you have any idea why it does that?

403	Forbidden. The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. May occur if there are no more user-seats available to connect to the LightSpeed Server (see the note in Authentication); if you attempt a POST/PUT/UNLOCK/LOCK call using a read-only application; or the url is malformed.

It’s annoying because it always clog up the user seats even if we use only one banal request… After something like 5 requests, we need to restart the server again.

Thanks for helping out!

@PatBC The logout endpoint didn't work for read-only API apps before OnSite version 2016 1.0.5. I'm guessing this is your issue.

If so, you can't close sessions with your read-only app, so they'll stay open until someone restarts the OnSite server. Read-only apps don't count towards the session limit, so it won't affect users.

If you can upgrade the server to a more recent version, you'll be able to make the logout call.
