AWS C++ Route53 Unknown(100) errors - c++

Question

I'm trying to query a hosted zone on AWS with the C++ SDK and its not giving me error messages I can use (UNKNOWN/100/No message). I have dumped the request as well and don't see anything obviously wrong with it.
Any help on where I might look for a problem?
// note: The zone_id has been pulled correctly earlier in the code
Aws::String zone_id = "(set previously)";
auto type = Model::RRType::A;
// List records
{
auto lrrs = Model::ListResourceRecordSetsRequest();
lrrs.SetHostedZoneId(zone_id);
lrrs.SetStartRecordType(type);
auto outcome = route53->ListResourceRecordSets(lrrs);
if (outcome.IsSuccess())
{
std::cout << "LRRS worked\n";
auto result = outcome.GetResult().GetResourceRecordSets();
for (auto &r : result)
{
std::cout << r.GetName() << ":"
<< r.GetTTL() << ":"
<< static_cast<char>(r.GetType()) << std::endl;
}
}
else
{
std::cerr << "LRRS failed: "
<< static_cast<int>(outcome.GetError().GetErrorType())
<< std::endl
<< outcome.GetError()
<< std::endl;
}
}
This is the error I end up with when I run it:
LRRS failed: 100
HTTP response code: 400
Resolved remote host IP address: 55.146.15.201
Request ID:
Exception name:
Error message: No response body.
3 response headers:
connection : close
content-length : 0
date : Sun, 30 May 2021 01:50:29 GMT
I have tried all sorts of combinations on how to construct the query but with no luck. Any help would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

Ok I figured it out.
The zone_id returned via AWS API (ListHostedZonesByName) has reply like this:
/hostedZoneId/HSFDGFHJFFSDSRTDDD
The problem is, all the API afterwards don't expect to see the prefix and only expect to see HSFDGFHJFFSDSRTDDD. The same problem happened a few other places (ChangeResourceRecordSets, GetChange) and there's nothing obvious in the documents to explain this!
Hope this helps anyone else stumbling on this.
