BadRequest. Http request failed: the content was not a valid JSON

Type of Connector

Independent Publisher Connector

Name of Connector

VIES (Independent Publisher)

Describe the bug

I am not sure, if this is an issue with the connector or VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) in general.

I get the error below, when I use the connector. However, I also tried using a HTTP request to do the same as the connector, but that throws an internal server error.

Is this a security bug?

No, this is not a security bug

What is the severity of this bug?

Severity 1 - Connector is broken or there's a very serious issue

To Reproduce

Create a flow with a manual trigger and the VIES action and add any ISO country code and vat number. Im my case I used:

DK
25490762

However, it is the same for all country codes and VAT numbers.

Expected behavior

A successful run returning

Environment summary

N/A

Additional context

N/A

Start by reproducing the VIES action with country code DK and VAT number 25490762, then compare it with the equivalent HTTP request described in the report. Determine whether the invalid JSON and internal server error originate in the connector or VIES; done means the action returns a successful result or the external failure is documented with clear evidence.
