ValueError: Insufficient data - ... bytes requested but only 18358 available on AWS Lambda/Amazon Linux

[robincsamuel]

I'm trying to build an AS2 gateway with AWS Lambda (Amazon Linux, x86_64), using chalice. I got a base version working fine on my local system.

However, I'm facing several issues with different configurations and the major one is the decryption/decompression issue with asn1crypto library.

Below is the stack trace,

Here's is a similar issue, wbond/asn1crypto#85

Any hints would be helpful, and thanks for the package :)

@robincsamuel what is the server you are communicating with?

[robincsamuel]

@abhishek-ram it’s a django-pyas2 project running on an AWS EC2 (ubuntu)

[robincsamuel]

@abhishek-ram I did some testing and it works fine on my local system. I connected my local application to the remote database (the DB lambda use) so that the keys are the same (they are loaded from the database) and it worked fine with the same payload, send from the same server I used with the lambda.

I've also logged the keys & payload from the lambda and that too is fine.

[abhishek-ram]

Then it is most likely an issue with the build of the server where its running

[robincsamuel]

yeah, that's my guess too. It's a standard AWS Lambda platform. I've posted the issue on asn1crypto repo as well.

[robincsamuel]

I’m closing this assuming it’s asn1crypto issue.
