I built a working API client using a combination of the linked documentation and the included examples.
Everything worked beautifully until I had occasion to override a service api configuration, which I was unable to save, due to a "Key contains a dot which is not supported" error. I discovered that this is due to how the configuration is actually stored, like this:
_core:
default_config_hash: yaddayaddayadda
enable_overriding_service_definitions: 1
overrides:
my_services.some_verb:
config:
base_uri: 'https://an-external-provider.com/api/'
auth:
- ''
- ''
- Basic
The parameter `my_services.some_verb` does of course contain a dot, and unless I'm completely mistaken, that's in keeping with the documentation here: https://www.drupal.org/docs/contributed-modules/http-client-manager/http... → , which provides the following example:
acme_services.contents:
title: "[ACME] - Contents Services API"
api_path: "/src/api/resources/content_services.yml"
config:
base_uri: "http://api.example.com"
debug: "/tmp/http.log"
Now, as it happens, the example implementation in the plugin itself doesn't use the dot syntax, specifying only `example_services` in the http_services_api yml. And ultimately, my own solution was to substitute `my_services.some_verb` with `my_services_some_verb` in my own code.
But this is ambiguous, and I think warrants more explicit documentation.
