Hello,

I want to perform HTTP Get using the APIKey to get the attached documents. For example: the following HTTP Get request renders the attached document from the browser:

https://<host>/maximo/api/os/LBL_DS_EVCHARGE/<restid>/doclinks/<doclinkid>?lean=1&apikey=<apikey>

I tried with the following:

    handler = HTTPHandler()
    map = HashMap()
    map.put("URL", <the above url>)
    map.put("HTTPMETHOD", "GET")
    responseBytes = handler.invoke(map,None)
    return responseBytes

However it gives error: the connection to the HTTP handler for the endpoint failed. Review the error and server log files to determine the cause of the issue, for example, incorrect properties in the DefaultHTTPExit.java handler class.
    com.ibm.jsse2.util.j: PKIX path building failed: com.ibm.security.cert.IBMCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

I am not sure whether the above code can work using the APIKey or not or it is supposed to work with username/password.

I therefore would like to use the python's native http "requests" library e.g. import requests. I tried import requests. However it gives error. 

Any idea on how to use the "requests" module in the automation script?

Thanks Bartosz.  I already tried both and it did not work in our environment. It gave me error : psdi.util.MXSystemException: BMXAA1477E - The connection to the HTTP handler for the endpoint failed. Review the error and server log files to determine the cause of the issue, for example, incorrect properties in the DefaultHTTPExit.java handler class.
    com.ibm.jsse2.util.j: PKIX path building failed: com.ibm.security.cert.IBMCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Not sure whether this error belongs to our environment or not. 

Surprisingly if I copy/paste the same url in the browser, it shows me the contents of the file.

"    com.ibm.jsse2.util.j: PKIX path building failed: com.ibm.security.cert.IBMCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target"

As Bartosz says this appears to be a SSL connection problem.

If you restart the JVM and perform the operatioin then I would expect to see a series of messages stating that the certiificate cannot be loaded. One of those messages should include full instructions about how to retrieve and install the certificate.

"Surprisingly if I copy/paste the same url in the browser, it shows me the contents of the file."

This isn't that surprising... the browser will have code in it to retrieve the certifcate and store it in the browser's cache.
