Parameters too long using Node.js & HTTPS for Email Audit API

Question

I'm using Email Audit API to monitor emails of my company. Unfortunately, I can't upload my public key as asked here following the instructions here https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/email-audit/auth.

In that example, I will use the public key (base64 encoded) given on the google page :

Here is my code :

var params = 
    "<atom:entry xmlns:atom='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:apps='http://schemas.google.com/apps/2006'>"+
        "<apps:property name='publicKey' value='"+key+"'/>"+
    "</atom:entry>";


// An object of options to indicate where to post to
var post_options = {
    host: 'apps-apis.google.com',
    path: '/a/feeds/compliance/audit/publickey/' + encodeURIComponent(domain),
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': 'OAuth ' + token,
      'Content-Type': 'application/atom+xml;charset=utf-8',
    }
};

// Set up the request
var post_req = https.request(post_options, function(res) {
    res.setEncoding('utf8');

    res.on('data', function (chunk) {
        console.log("REPONSE");
        console.log("-------");
        console.log(chunk);
    });
});

// post the data
post_req.write(params);
post_req.end();

And as the result come as multiples i guess my params are too long :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

As it seems the response is a divided several parts, i guess the problem come from response.write() .. So i tried adding in the headers :

'Content-Length': params.length

And still the same problem :

I'm running out of ideas, any help would be welcome :)

I found a solution using http://unirest.io/nodejs.html.

Now it's working perfectly. Here is the code for those who might want it :

function uploadPublicKey(domain, key, token) {
    var params = 
        "<atom:entry xmlns:atom='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:apps='http://schemas.google.com/apps/2006'>"+
            "<apps:property name='publicKey' value='"+key+"'/>"+
        "</atom:entry>";


    unirest
    .post('https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/compliance/audit/publickey/' + encodeURIComponent(domain))
    .headers({
        'Authorization': 'OAuth ' + token,
        'Content-Type': 'application/atom+xml;charset=utf-8',
        'Content-Length': params.length}
        )
    .send(params)
    .end(function (response) {
        console.log(response.body);
    });
}

You have spaces in your base64-encoded string (this is shown in the response). Remove the whitespace (e.g. key.replace(/\s/g, '')) and you should be ok.

Based from the documentation,

An attempt to upload an invalid key will return with error code 1411 (EncryptionPublicKeyInvalidFormat).

Also noted that, invalid OpenPGP keys are generally the most common cause of errors. For this, please try to follow the summary of the step-by-step instructions to generate a public key for the Email Audit API. Last step mentioned about double checking that you copy all the lines, including the header and not adding any extra line.

Lastly, in uploading the public key, start by creating an XML entry with the base64 encoded public key as shown in the example below:

<atom:entry xmlns:atom='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:apps='http://schemas.google.com/apps/2006'>
<apps:property name="publicKey" value="the base64 Encoded Key"/>
</atom:entry>

Send an HTTP POST request to the 'publickey' feed URI in your Google Apps domain:

POST https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/compliance/audit/publickey/{domain name}

If successful, the server returns a 201 CREATED status code found in the Google Data API HTTP status codes documentation.

Please try going through the given documentations for more information including details on authorization protocols.
