I am trying to use google geocoding. If i just type
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=true
it gives me right output. I am trying to use this with a amazon proxy server and it gives
{ "error_message" : "The 'sensor' parameter specified in the request must be set to either 'true' or 'false'.", "results" : [], "status" : "REQUEST_DENIED" }
This the code
http://ec2-00-000-000-000.compute-1.amazonaws.com/OsProxy/getpage.aspx?p=https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=true
Can someone help me?
Thanks Rashmi

You need to URL-encode your parameters. Consider the URL you're using:
http://ec2-00-000-000-000.compute-1.amazonaws.com/OsProxy/getpage.aspx?p=https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=true
This is parsed as:
http://ec2-00-000-000-000.compute-1.amazonaws.com/OsProxy/getpage.aspx?
p=https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&
sensor=true
That is, you're passing the sensor
parameter to amazonws.com
, not to googleapis.com
.
Since the only parameter to amazonws.com
should be the full URL, encode that URL so it reaches amazonws.com
as a single parameter to be passed through to googleapis.com
:
http://ec2-00-000-000-000.compute-1.amazonaws.com/OsProxy/getpage.aspx?p=https%3A%2F%2Fmaps.googleapis.com%2Fmaps%2Fapi%2Fgeocode%2Fjson%3Faddress%3D1600%2BAmphitheatre%2BParkway%2C%2BMountain%2BView%2C%2BCA%26sensor%3Dtrue
