I am having a weird error in flutter where just adding an authorization header allows me to have an error.
Current Problem I am having,
postData(data, apiUrl) async {
var fullUrl = _url + apiUrl;
var at = await _accessToken;
print('access token is $at');
return await http.post(
Uri.parse(fullUrl),
body: jsonEncode(data),
encoding: Encoding.getByName("utf-8"),
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer $at', <---------------- Adding this line of code prints an error in the console
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json'
},
);
In my code, if I add the Authorization header that I am pointing to with an arrow in the above code I receive an error on the console that says,
D/libc-netbsd(32217): [getaddrinfo]: mtk hostname=host_name_i_provided; servname=(null); cache_mode=(null), netid=0; mark=0; app_uid=10217; ai_addrlen=0; ai_canonname=(null); ai_flags=1024; ai_family=0 D/libc-netbsd(32217): getaddrinfo: host_name_i_provided get result from proxy >> E/flutter (32217): [ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(199)] Unhandled Exception: FormatException: Unexpected character (at line 3, character 1) E/flutter (32217): E/flutter (32217): ^ E/flutter (32217): E/flutter (32217): #0 _ChunkedJsonParser.fail (dart:convert-patch/convert_patch.dart:1404:5) E/flutter (32217): #1

_RescueMeFormPageState.submitData (package:redcross/Pages/Disaster/rescue_me_form_page.dart:57:21) E/flutter (32217): E/flutter (32217):
But if I remove that header, I get the following valid response,
I/flutter (32217): {status: 400, data: {code: TokenException, message: Authorization Token not found}}
I can not figure out why I am getting this error.
A few more things I would like to point out is, the $at variable holds the correct access token. I verified this by adding print statements. So the line of code 'Authorization': 'Bearer $at', is valid.
Also If I do the same request from the postman I get a valid response.
Can someone please help me figure out a solution to this error. Thanks.....
