Error : Web push send from python backend

[cmesas]

Hello, I'm having a problem when I try to run a notification, I think I'm following the documentation to the letter.

Information

Keys generated with vpaid (python): https://github.com/web-push-libs/vapid/tree/main/python

• The keys that I indicate are for testing...

PrivateKey [private_key.pem]

Code
webpush(

vapid_claims={"sub": "mailto:contact@example.com"},
subscription_info=subscription,
data=data
)

Error

@jrconlin Could you tell me what I may be doing wrong?

[cmesas]

@jrconlin any ideas what I may be doing wrong? I am blocked and the only solution I would have would be to integrate in node that I have seen that I have no problem.

Hrm,

On my system, your private key is invalid. If that was generated by vapid, I'm not sure why it made an invalid key, but you can also create one by using openssl directly:

openssl ecparam -genkey -name prime256v1 -noout -out private_key.pem

I'm also not sure why you're seeing the incorrect padding error. I tried the application string and it worked fine.

Thanks, I'll try again as you say.

Thanks, finally without generating the keys through the vapid library I got it to work.

I found these commands that I think could be useful for people who want to work with DER (bas64), I'll leave it here:

openssl ecparam -genkey -name prime256v1 -noout -out private_key.pem
openssl ec -in private_key.pem -pubout -outform DER|tail -c 65|base64|tr -d '=' |tr '/+' '-' >> public.key
openssl ec -in private_key.pem -outform DER|tail -c +8|head -c 32|base64|tr -d '=' |tr '/+' '-' >> private. key

Thank @jrconlin
