Updating items to be read does not seem to work about api HOT 9 CLOSED

Are you sure you are sending parameters as x-www-form-urlencoded? Unfortunately multipart/form-data isn't supported.

from api.

No, I was taking whatever the default was. I will try again when I am in
front of a computer. There is still the issue of sending a response that
says "OK" when nothing has been done. I would have expected an error like
"can't find id parameter, is your request x-www-form-urlencoded?"

Yep, that seems to work. So the bug is that you say OK when you shouldn't,
not that marking as read doesn't work.

Sure, you are right, I've added parameters verification with corresponding error results.

This was closed over a year ago as fixed. However, I still get 'ok' as result but no error message trying the same command as in the initial post.

Would you be able to send your code so we can investigate?

Yes I know, very late to get back 2 years later. having another go at this and is stuck at the same place:

markAsRead(auth: string, id: string) {
    const params = {
        // output: 'json',
        a: 'user/-/state/com.google/read',
        i: 'tag:google.com,2005:reader/item/' + id
    };
    let path = '/reader/api/0/edit-tag';
    const contentParams = this.serialize(params);
    const itemContentUrl = path + '?' + contentParams;
    let response = fetch(itemContentUrl, {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: new Headers({
            'Accept': 'application/json',
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            'Authorization': 'GoogleLogin auth=' + auth,
        }),
    });
    return response;
}
private serialize(obj: {}) {
   var str = [];
   for (var p in obj) {
        if (obj.hasOwnProperty(p)) {
            str.push(encodeURIComponent(p) + '=' + encodeURIComponent(obj[p]));
        }
    }
    return str.join('&');
}

localhost:3000 proxies calls to The Old Reader, works for all other API calls so guess this is not the problem.

Looks like the params should be in the body, thought I tried that but must have gotten something wrong that time, this code is working:

    async markAsRead(auth: string, id: string) {
        const bodyParams = { 
            a: 'user/-/state/com.google/read',
            i: 'tag:google.com,2005:reader/item/' + id,
        };
        let path = '/reader/api/0/edit-tag';
        let response = fetch(path, {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: new Headers({
                'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8',
                'Authorization': 'GoogleLogin auth=' + auth,
            }),
            body: this.serialize(bodyParams)
        });
        return response;
    }

from api.

I still think that I should not have gotten OK in my snippet above. Took my some hours to figure this out.
