Error 400 UnauthorizedRegistration

See original GitHub issue

I use this code:

import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.security.Security;

import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider;

import com.google.gson.JsonObject;

import nl.martijndwars.webpush.Notification;
import nl.martijndwars.webpush.PushService;

public class Teste {
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try {
			Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());

	        // Send notification!
			sendPushMessage(getPayload());
	        
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
	}
	
	private static final int TTL = 255;

	public static void sendPushMessage(byte[] payload) {
		// Figure out if we should use GCM for this notification somehow
		try{
			Notification notification;
			PushService pushService;

			// Create a notification with the endpoint, userPublicKey from the subscription and a custom payload
			notification = new Notification(
					"https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send/d8KX2q4goDM:APA91bH5Boq0076mY4-YdxIOrsD_pzfx6DorrD6FRaksk5sf64A3Z9cySX2JhxwOlql1wq-Bdo0SZvSmBbARZaxTgn4_O9MHbbG_JFY-ZJp0i6WauLwllglA54lBp6NkWB0q6axNHIa3",

					"nJiZotPSQE4P4z75Igq57Q==",
					"Hello, world!"
					);

			// Instantiate the push service, no need to use an API key for Push API
			pushService = new PushService();

			// Send the notification
			HttpResponse httpResponse = pushService.send(notification);

			System.out.println(httpResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
			System.out.println(IOUtils.toString(httpResponse.getEntity().getContent(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
	
	private static byte[] getPayload() {
        JsonObject jsonObject = new JsonObject();
        jsonObject.addProperty("title", "Hello");
        jsonObject.addProperty("message", "World");

        return jsonObject.toString().getBytes();
    }
}

I’m glad you got this to work @dsteen338! I’d be happy to discuss ideas that could improve the wiki. PRs that improve the documentation are very welcome.

It seems that most comments on this issue are about problems with using the library and not with the library itself, so I will close the issue now. If someone bumps into a similar issue or wants to discuss improvements to the documentation, please create a new issue.

I am running into a similar issue, and am wondering if I can get some help. I got my push notifications to work on Firefox, but not on chrome. I was getting the 400 Unauthorized error like the users above.

I was originally not using VAPID, but wondered if I needed to be. Following the advice of @MartijnDwars, I added my VAPID private and public key-pair to the backend (based on this comment):

If you are using VAPID you should configure the public- and private key. The spring-boot-web-push repository contains an example on how to invoke the web push library. Specifically, line 27 of SendController.java configures the PushService with a public key and private key (generated from web-push-codelab.glitch.me).

However I am now getting a 403 forbidden instead. Firefox still working as expected. I’m not using GCM, just trying to do it myself. Is there something I’m missing/ doing wrong here? Currently using version 5.0.1.

Scratch that! I got it to work, I just needed to un-register and re-register the service worker after adding the applicationServerKey to the subscription.

My comment now becomes, that I needed to do a lot of googling and investigating to get to this point and get it working. I needed to find this thread specifically and use the example from https://github.com/MartijnDwars/spring-boot-web-push instead of the one from the Usage example in the wiki: https://github.com/web-push-libs/webpush-java/wiki/Usage-Example , I’m wondering if it might be of use to people who end up in a similar situation as me to update the wiki accordingly.
