[SOLVED] Injecting QEMU SSH keys via the API

[judahnator]

Hello, forum!

I am running into a bit of trouble. I am using the API to configure a VM (PUT `/api2/json/nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}/config`, as documented here).
I receive the following error, only when the 'sshkeys' parameter is present:

HTTP/1.1 400 Parameter verification failed.

If I omit the 'sshkeys' parameter the request works fine. I was hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction on how this feature works. Would anyone happen to have a code snippet that is working for them? Perhaps the keys need to be encoded or terminated in some way.

Hi,

how are you currently sending them to the API? The backend expects them to be urlencoded [1].

Ah-ha! That was the trick. URL-encoding the string was the ticket.

For anyone in the future that runs into this problem and is using PHP, don't use the `urlencode()` method. You need to use the `rawurlencode()` method here.

Glad to hear that it works, please mark this thread as solved so that others with the same problem can find it more easily in the future
