Environment: Linux, Openedge 11.5.1
I'm trying my first trials with IHttpRequest, but I am very new to using classes in Openedge.
Working through the examples in the 11.5.1 release-notes (and/or the previous white paper) I want to POST some data to a particular site.
However the examples jump from simple GET/PUT, straight to the Responses, and miss out Post.
My code contains:
oRequest = RequestBuilder
:Post(ip-uri, oReq-entity)
:AcceptAll()
:ContentType ("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
:Request
no-error.
where ip-uir is my site, and oReq-entity is defined as
define variable oReq-Entity as CLASS Progress.Lang.Object no-undo
.
My first, novice, question is:
how do I get any kind of value into the Object to pass as the Post parameter.
Could someone give me a short example of Posting a simple character-string?
Eventually I will want to post a memptr, that is mainly XML, that itself came from a temp-table,
but for now I just want to post anything, such as a hard-coded string.
Many thanks
Thank you for this - I have managed to get a fair bit further.
My next challenge is on the Response side of things.
I have a response object as:
oRequest = RequestBuilder:Get(ip-uri)
:AcceptAll()
:Request
and then I can pull out the following Properties, which all look good:
MESSAGE 'Status: Code/Reason' oResponse:StatusCode oResponse:StatusReason SKIP 'Version:' oResponse:Version SKIP 'Character Encoding:' oResponse:CharacterEncoding SKIP 'Transfer Encoding:' oResponse:TransferEncoding SKIP 'Content Type:' oResponse:ContentType SKIP 'Content Length:' oResponse:ContentLength SKIP 'MD5' STRING(oResponse:ContentMD5) skip view-as alert-box title "oReponse details".
However, I seem to be having problems when trying to access the methods for
GetHeader and/or GetHeaders.
I have tried putting
USING OpenEdge.Net.HTTP.HttpHeader.at the top, but that is not understood at all, so I'm unable to define a variable as a HttpHeader (or as an array of)
Is oResponse:GetHeaders available to me in 11.5.1
The best documentation I have found is:
If possible, could someone provide a snippet of code to obtain the headers from the HttpResponse object?
Many thanks again
Ha, I grasped it (a bit), after posting the above.
define variable oHeader as class OpenEdge.Net.HTTP.HttpHeader NO-UNDO.
define variable oHeaderArray as class OpenEdge.Net.HTTP.HttpHeader extent NO-UNDO.
define variable iHeaderCount as integer no-undo.
then
oHeader = oResponse:GetHeader("known-header-name").
or
iHeaderCount = oResponse:GetHeaders(oHeaderArray).
and then
do i-loop = 1 to iHeadercount:
MESSAGE
"loop header" i-loop SKIP
"" oHeaderArray[i-loop]:Name SKIP
"" oHeaderArray[i-loop]:Value SKIP
VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX TITLE "debug".
end.
So now just the body to deal with...
