SatelliteRESTRequestRetry

SatelliteRESTRequestRetry.js

// Creator: Les Kimmel
// Description: This function can be used in vRO to initate a retry on any REST request that fails due to an expired cookie from Satellite.
// Inputs: N/A
// Return Type: Any
// How to use: For a vRO REST Request to Red Hat Satellite input the following line to invoke the rest request `var SatelliteRESTRequest = System.getModule("module.rhsat.rest").SatelliteRESTRequest();`

var SatelliteRESTRequest = function (req) {
	System.debug("Request URL: " + req.fullUrl);
	var resp = req.execute();
	// Check it unauthorized. If so retry once. This accounts
	// for an issue with the Foreman API cookie where it doesn't 
	// expire but the Foreman idle timeout can cause an unathorized.
	if ( resp.statusCode == 401 ) {
		System.error("Retrying request due to authentication failure.");
		resp = req.execute();
		// If still unathorized, fail.
		if ( resp.statusCode == 401 ) { throw "Failed to authenticate to Satellite!"; }
	}
	return resp;
}

return SatelliteRESTRequest;
