The subscription confirm feature now supports webhook and email with both mongoDB and redis backend. This guide shows how to use this feature:

Webhook

Note

You should make sure that the message notification is enabled. By default, the message_pipeline config option in [storage] section should be set like: message_pipeline = zaqar.notification.notifier

1. Set the config option "require_confirmation" and add the policy to the policy.json file. Then restart Zaqar-wsgi service:

In the config file:
[notification]
require_confirmation = True

In the policy.json file:
"subscription:confirm": "",

2. Create a subscription.

Here used zaqar/samples/zaqar/subscriber_service_sample.py be the subscriber endpoint for example.So before the step 2, you should start the subscriber service first. The service could be started simply by the command:

python zaqar/samples/zaqar/subscriber_service_sample.py

The service's default port is 5678. If you want to use a new port, the command will be like:

python zaqar/samples/zaqar/subscriber_service_sample.py new_port_number

The service will not confirm the subscription automatically by default. If you want to do that, the command will be like:

python zaqar/samples/zaqar/subscriber_service_sample.py --auto-confirm

Then create a subscription:

curl -i -X POST http://10.229.47.217:8888/v2/queues/test/subscriptions \
-H "Content-type: application/json" \
-H "Client-ID: de305d54-75b4-431b-adb2-eb6b9e546014" \
-H "X-Auth-Token: 440b677561454ea8a7f872201dd4e2c4" \
-d '{"subscriber":"http://10.229.47.217:5678", "ttl":3600, "options":{}}'

The response:

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
content-length: 47
content-type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
location: http://10.229.47.217:8888/v2/queues/test/subscriptions
Connection: close
{"subscription_id": "576256b03990b480617b4063"}

At the same time, If the subscriber sample service is not start by "--auto confirm", you will receive a POST request in the subscriber sample service, the request is like:

WARNING:root:{"UnsubscribeBody": {"confirmed": false}, "URL-Methods": "PUT",
"X-Project-ID": "51be2c72393e457ebf0a22a668e10a64",
"URL-Paths": "/v2/queues/test/subscriptions/576256b03990b480617b4063/confirm",
"URL-Expires": "2016-07-06T04:35:56", "queue_name": "test",

"Message_Type": "SubscriptionConfirmation"}
10.229.47.217 - - [06/Jul/2016 11:35:56] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 -

If you start the sample service with "--auto confirm", please go to step 6 directly, because the step 5 will be done by the service automatically.

3. Get the subscription. The request:

curl -i -X GET http://10.229.47.217:8888/v2/queues/test/subscriptions/576256b03990b480617b4063 \
-H "Content-type: application/json" \
-H "Client-ID: de305d54-75b4-431b-adb2-eb6b9e546014" \
-H "X-Auth-Token: 440b677561454ea8a7f872201dd4e2c4"

The response:

"subscriber": "http://10.229.47.217:5678", "source": "test", "ttl": 3600, "options": {}}

You can find that the "confirmed" property is false by default.

-H "Content-type: application/json" \
-H "Client-ID: de305d54-75b4-431b-adb2-eb6b9e546014" \
-H "X-Auth-Token: 440b677561454ea8a7f872201dd4e2c4" \

Then try to post a message. The subscriber will not receive the notification any more.

Email

1. For the email confirmation way, also need to set the config option "external_confirmation_url", "subscription_confirmation_email_template" and "unsubscribe_confirmation_email_template".

The confirmation page url that will be used in email subscription confirmation before notification, this page is not hosted in Zaqar server, user should build their own web service to provide this web page.

The subscription_confirmation_email_template let user to customize the subscription confirmation email content, including topic, body and sender.

The unsubscribe_confirmation_email_template let user to customize the unsubscribe confirmation email content, including topic, body and sender too:

In the config file:
[notification]
require_confirmation = True
external_confirmation_url = http://web_service_url/
subscription_confirmation_email_template = topic:Zaqar Notification - Subscription Confirmation,\
                                          body:'You have chosen to subscribe to the queue: {0}. This queue belongs to project: {1}. To confirm this subscription, click or visit this link below: {2}',\
                                          sender:Zaqar Notifications <no-reply@openstack.org>
unsubscribe_confirmation_email_template = topic: Zaqar Notification - Unsubscribe Confirmation,\
                                          body:'You have unsubscribed successfully to the queue: {0}. This queue belongs to project: {1}. To resubscribe this subscription, click or visit this link below: {2}',\
                                          sender:Zaqar Notifications <no-reply@openstack.org>

In the policy.json file:
"subscription:confirm": "",

2. Create a subscription. For email confirmation, you should create a subscription like this:

curl -i -X POST http://10.229.47.217:8888/v2/queues/test/subscriptions \
-H "Content-type: application/json" \
-H "Client-ID: de305d54-75b4-431b-adb2-eb6b9e546014" \
-H "X-Auth-Token: 440b677561454ea8a7f872201dd4e2c4" \
-d '{"subscriber":"your email address", "ttl":3600, "options":{}}'

The response:

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
content-length: 47
content-type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
location: http://10.229.47.217:8888/v2/queues/test/subscriptions
Connection: close
{"subscription_id": "576256b03990b480617b4063"}

After the subscription created, Zaqar will send a email to the email address of subscriber. The email specifies how to confirm the subscription.

3. Click the confirmation page link in the email body

4. The confirmation page will send the subscription confirmation request to Zaqar server automatically. User also can choose to unsubscribe by clicking the unsubscription link in this page, that will cause Zaqar to cancel this subscription and send another email to notify this unsubscription action. Zaqar providers two examples of those web pages that will help user to build their own pages:

zaqar/sample/html/subscriptionConfirmation.html
zaqar/sample/html/unsubscriptionConfirmation.html

User can place those pages in web server like Apache to access them by browser, so the external_confirmation_url will be like this:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/subscriptionConfirmation.html

For CORS, here used zaqar/samples/html/confirmation_web_service_sample.py be a simple web service for example, it will relay the confirmation request to Zaqar Server. So before Step 3, you should start the web service first. The service could be started simply by the command:

python zaqar/samples/html/confirmation_web_service_sample.py

The service's default port is 5678. If you want to use a new port, the command will be like:

python zaqar/samples/html/confirmation_web_service_sample.py new_port_number
