urequests "need more than 2 values to unpack"

[techykermit]

Hi!
I am trying to send a request to my OTA update server using urequests.
However, I am getting an exception that I found somewhat strange:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "ota.py", line 50, in <module>
  File "ota.py", line 50, in <module>
  File "ota.py", line 47, in <module>
  File "/flash/lib/urequests.py", line 114, in get
  File "/flash/lib/urequests.py", line 39, in request
ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack

The request code I am using is:

Code: Select all

urequests.get(url, headers={"User-Agent": "xxx (not actual value)"}, data={"deviceid": "xxx (not actual value)"})

Can someone figure this out for me? If I remove one of these, I still get the exception, but with "need more than 1 value to unpack".
The board I am using is a PyCom WiPy 3.0.

Pycom have their own firmware so it might be worth raising the question on their forum.

Yes, correct. However, I downloaded the library from micropython-lib, so I thought I could get help here...
But if the Pycom forum is better, I will move there. Thanks!

From a quick look at the urequests code, your url should be of the form http://google.com or http://abc/def/xyz. Also data should be a bytes or bytearray type for sending to a socket.

However I don't know if there are Pycom issues: they have their own firmware and seem to maintain their own library, so I don't know how compatible the official MicroPython library might be.

I posted this over at the Pycom forum, and it was one of these silly issues you can make when programming that turn out to be really simple when somebody else answers it... I simply forgot http:// in front of the URL.

Hello
I am also sending data to a server via HTTP post requests on the esp 32 but get the same error :

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 34, in <module>
  File "urequests.py", line 111, in post
  File "urequests.py", line 81, in request
ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack

I've tried the fix above but it doesn't work for me here's my url:

Code: Select all

dataUrl = "https://XXXXXXXX/api/data"

heres line 34:

Code: Select all

publishResponse =requests.post(dataUrl,data=publishData,headers=publishHeaders)

And here are the headers and data
publish header:

Code: Select all

publishHeaders = {"content-type":'application/json',"Authorization":' Bearer '+str(accessToken)+''}

publishData:

Code: Select all

publishData='[{"sourceId":"XXXXXXXXX","values":[{"ts":"2021-03-02T22:37:00Z","value":69}]}]'

Apparently the post request does reflect on the server but still id really like to get rid of the error please anyone....

Daniel:
Have you tried just "http" not "https" in your URL? Might be an issue of the stack not supporting secure transfer.
