Webtools modules - Migration from europa.eu/webtools to webtools.europa.eu

[alexboss]

Dear colleagues,

Following CEM communication:

This update follows a previous communication: Webtools - Move widgets and services to the cloud (CORRIGENDUM).
Reminder
The migration implies a change in the URL of the Webtools endpoints:
https://europa.eu/webtools will become https://webtools.europa.eu/
New important information
The migration of Webtools to the cloud cannot be done without downtime and as a result, all Smart Loader (SML) components will be unavailable. Webtools widgets (maps, charts, etc.) may stop working on Monday 15 April between 6:00 and 7:00 AM.
Updated information
If you use the Webtools endpoints listed in this Excel file on your websites and applications, please update them within 48 hours after the migration or before Wednesday 17 April at 9:00 AM.
If you do not use any of the specific endpoints from the Excel file on your websites and applications, no action is expected from you.
After the migration, if ever you detect issues with your Webtools widgets and services, please report them via the Europa Web Communication form.

For modules using Webtools endpoint using GET, there's plenty of time to migrate (a redirection will be put in place).

However, for modules using POST, the replacement of URL will have to be made quite urgently.

The oe_webtools_captcha is impacted by the migration.

See https://github.com/openeuropa/oe_webtools/blob/master/modules/oe_webtools_captcha/config/install/oe_webtools_captcha.settings.yml

validationEndpoint: 'https://europa.eu/webtools/rest/captcha/verify' 

Using POST method - see https://github.com/openeuropa/oe_webtools/blob/master/modules/oe_webtools_captcha/oe_webtools_captcha.module :

       $response = \Drupal::httpClient()->post($url->toString(), [
        'headers' => $headers,
        'form_params' => $params,
      ]);

So the validationEndpoint should be:

validationEndpoint: 'https://webtools.europa.eu/rest/captcha/verify' 

And the switch should:

please update them within 48 hours after the migration or before Wednesday 17 April at 9:00 AM.

Thank you and best regards.

Alexandre
