Bad Request when sending a WebClient request from a microservice to another microservice

Question

So I have 5 microservices running on different ports. I have a service called the movie-catalogue-service and I try to retrieve ratings from Movies by id which are passed via request parameters. I have a discovery server running aswell, which works fine.

My endpoint of my function looks like this:

@GetMapping("/test")
    fun testFun(@RequestParam movieIds:List<String>) : Flux<Rating> {
        return movieCatalogService.findRatingByMovieId(movieIds)
    }

My findRatingByMovieId looks like this:

fun findRatingByMovieId(movieIds: List<String>) : Flux<Rating> {
        return webClient.build()
            .get()
            .uri { uribuilder ->
                uribuilder.path("http://ratings-data-service/ratings/list")
                    .queryParam("movieIds", movieIds)
                    .build()
            }
            .retrieve()
            .bodyToFlux(Rating::class.java)
    }

My endpoint of my ratings-data-service looks like this:

@GetMapping("/list")
    fun findRatingsByMovieIds(@RequestParam movieIds:List<String>) : Flux<Rating> {
        return ratingsDataService.findRatingsByMovieId(movieIds)
    }

And the service function:

 fun findRatingsByMovieId(movieIds:List<String>) : Flux<Rating> {
        return ratingsDataRepository.findAllById(movieIds)
    }

When sending a request to localhost:8080/catalog/test?movieIds=6076bd2aa35f61406db0da84&movieIds=6076bd48a35f61406db0da85

I get the error in the

IntelliJ console like this:

400 Bad Request from UNKNOWN 
    at org.springframework.web.reactive.function.client.WebClientResponseException.create(WebClientResponseException.java:179) ~[spring-webflux-5.3.5.jar:5.3.5]

When I directly call the ratings-data-service endpoint:

localhost:7654/ratings/list?movieIds=6076bd2aa35f61406db0da84&movieIds=6076bd48a35f61406db0da85

everything works fine, how is this possible ?

I think you have the answer here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35695586/uribuilder-and-list-query-params — aksappy, Apr 14 '21 at 16:36
Now it worked, just needed to use the setHost and setPath correctly, thanks ! — Yasin Eraslan, Apr 14 '21 at 16:45

For everyone who has a problem like this,with the help of aksappy, I have done it right in the end. I t has to look like this:

fun findRatingByMovieId(movieIds: List<String>) : Flux<Rating> {
        return webClient.build()
            .get()
            .uri { uribuilder ->
                uribuilder.host("ratings-data-service")
                    .path("/ratings/list")
                    .queryParam("movieIds",movieIds)
                    .build()
            }
            .retrieve()
            .bodyToFlux(Rating::class.java)
    }
