Example error response

In this example we perform a query request and assume the socket connection is not authenticated yet. We then look at the error response.

Example

As an example we will perform a useless query with as code just the simple equation 1 + 1; and we will use the @thingsdb scope to perform the query on.

This is the data we want to pack:

["@t", "1 + 1;"]

Serializing the above using MessagePack results in the following 11 bytes:

\x92\xa2@t\xa61 + 1;

Now we create the header. For this example we just use Id 0:

• Data length (11) \x0b\x00\x00\x00
• Identifier (0) \x00\x00
• Query package type (34) \x22
• Inverse type check bit (221) \xdd

Sending the Query package

\x0b\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x22\xdd\x92\xa2@t\xa61 + 1;

If the connection is not authenticated, this will be the responding Data package

8\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x13\xec\x82\xaaerror_code\xd0\xc8\xa9error_msg\xbfconnection is not authenticated

The first 8 bytes (8\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x13\xec) contain the header:

• Data length 8\x00\x00\x00 = 56
• Package ID: \x00\x00 = 0
• Type: \x13 = 19 (ERROR)
• Check-bit: \xec = 236 (19^255)

We see that the ERROR response package data of length 56.

Unpacking the data \x82\xaaerror_code\xd0\xc8\xa9error_msg\xbfconnection is not authenticated using MessagePack will return the following in JSON format:

{
    "error_code": -56,
    "error_msg": "connection is not authenticated"
}
