Issue

I configured an http webhook on the thethingsstack web page cloud.thethings.network. This HTTP webhook does a post request to a configured endpoint (my laptop) like this:

http://xxx.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:80
For uplink messages: http://localhost:80/uplink-message
For join confirmation: http://localhost:80/join-accept
 

You can also see that you receive post requests on the command line using ngrok.exe http 80.

POST /uplink-enabled 502 Bad Gateway POST /uplink-enabled 502 Bad Gateway POST /uplink-enabled 502 Bad Gateway
 

However, I am unable to receive the data in json format according to the online tutorial.

Is there a code example that continuously listens to the http port and handles post requests?

Edit:
My flask code looks like this:

# import main Flask class and request object
from Flask import Flask, request

# Create a Flask app
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/uplink-enabled')
def query_example():
    return 'example query string'

If __name__ == '__main__':
    # Run app in debug mode on port 5000
    app.run(debug=True, port=80)
 

I can also check the incoming post request, but I get an error:

• Debug Mode: On *Rebooting with stat *Debugger Active!*
  Debugger PIN: 852-174-427 * Run with http://127.0.0.1:80/ (
  CTRL+C to exit)
  127.0.0.1 – – [Aug 18 2021 11:12:46] “POST /uplink-enabled HTTP/1.1” 405 –

My ngrok interface looks like this:

Session Status Online
Session expires in 1 hour and 19 minutes
Version 2.3.40
Region United States (us)
Web interface http://127.0.0.1:4040
Forward http://xxx.ngrok.io ->
http://localhost:80 transfer
https://xxx.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:80

Solution

@app.route('/uplink-enabled', methods= ['POST', 'GET'])
def query_example():
    return 'Query String Example'

This will handle 405 error.
