Problem with api for Unbound AddHostOverride

[Yves.degauquier]

Hi,
I try to use the API to manage the Unbound DNS by adding new host override.
On this topic Google was not my friend.
I found the API but I still have issue on how to feed the API with data .

curl -X POST -d '{"host":{"enabled":"1","hostname":"test","domain":"testdomain.com","rr":{"A":{"value":"A (IPv4 address)","selected":1},"AAAA":{"value":"AAAA (IPv6 address)","selected":0},"MX":{"value":"MX (Mail server)","selected":0}},"mxprio":"","mx":"","server":"10.0.1.1","description":""}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k -u $OPNS_KEY:$OPNS_SECRET https://$IPFW/api/unbound/settings/AddHostOverride

The result is:
{"errorMessage":"/usr/local/opnsense/mvc/app/controllers/OPNsense/Base/ApiControllerBase.php:155: Error at /usr/local/opnsense/mvc/app/models/OPNsense/Base/FieldTypes/BaseField.php:345 - Array to string conversion (errno=8)","errorTrace":"#0 /usr/local/opnsense/mvc/app/models/OPNsense/Base/FieldTypes/BaseField.php(345): OPNsense\\Base\\ApiControllerBase->APIErrorHandler(8, 'Array to string...', '/usr/local/opns...', 345, Array)\n#1 /usr/local/opnsense/mvc/app/models/OPNsense/Base/BaseModel.php(446): OPNsense\\Base\\FieldTypes\\BaseField->__toString()\n#2 /usr/local/opnsense/mvc/app/controllers/OPNsense/Base/ApiMutableModelControllerBase.php(218): OPNsense\\Base\\BaseModel->performValidation()\n#3 /usr/local/opnsense/mvc/app/controllers/OPNsense/Base/ApiMutableModelControllerBase.php(383): OPNsense\\Base\\ApiMutableModelControllerBase->validate(Object(OPNsense\\Base\\FieldTypes\\ContainerField), 'host')\n#4 /usr/local/opnsense/mvc/app/controllers/OPNsense/Unbound/Api/SettingsController.php(142): OPNsense\\Base\\ApiMutableModelControllerBase->addBase('host', 'hosts.host')\n#5 [internal function]: OPNsense\\Unbound\\Api\\SettingsController->addHostOverrideAction()\n#6 [internal function]: Phalcon\\Dispatcher\\AbstractDispatcher->callActionMethod(Object(OPNsense\\Unbound\\Api\\SettingsController), 'addHostOverride...', Array)\n#7 [internal function]: Phalcon\\Dispatcher\\AbstractDispatcher->dispatch()\n#8 /usr/local/opnsense/www/api.php(26): Phalcon\\Mvc\\Application->handle('/api/unbound/se...')\n#9 {main}","errorTitle":"An API exception occured"}

Does someone can give me some hints?

Thanks in advance :-)

any idea?


edit: solved! newline fixed it


'content': '172.18.0.21\n172.18.100.21'

Instead of

curl -X POST -d '{"host":{"enabled":"1","hostname":"test","domain":"testdomain.com","rr":{"A":{"value":"A (IPv4 address)","selected":1},"AAAA":{"value":"AAAA (IPv6 address)","selected":0},"MX":{"value":"MX (Mail server)","selected":0}},"mxprio":"","mx":"","server":"10.0.1.1","description":""}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k -u $OPNS_KEY:$OPNS_SECRET https://$IPFW/api/unbound/settings/AddHostOverride

this will do the job:

curl -X POST -d '{"host":{"enabled":"1","hostname":"test","domain":"testdomain.com","rr":"A","mxprio":"","mx":"","server":"10.0.1.1","description":""}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k -u $OPNS_KEY:$OPNS_SECRET https://$IPFW/api/unbound/settings/AddHostOverride
