API: Access denied when attempting to accept a transfer
Issue #55
resolved
When attempting to accept a transfer via the API, access is denied even if the request comes from the CID of the facility ATM. I assume you will be able to see the specifics of the request from your end, but if you need them I can provide them here.

Hi Daniel,
I've been scratching my head about this ever since you posted that screenshot. I've used cURL a million times so I wasn't sure what was wrong. I took the liberty of creating a page on our website that JSON encodes anything it receives via a POST request and returns that. When I use the code I've written to post to THAT page, the data seems to go through fine. However, when I change the URL to the VATUSA API it doesn't work.

It's getting the data now.. are you still getting Access denied errors?

Will let you know when we get another transfer. Do you have a test account you can request to transfer into our facility?
-
No, all accounts are VATSIM accounts. I didn't program a way to make a fake user so if I did it would get deleted as they don't exist in CERT.

I'm showing no post data was sent to the API, so that's why it is failing.
