Use OpenEdge.NET for streaming

Hi Peter,

This javascript example show how we would send data to it from postman for example. I'm wondering if i could mimic the same approach in OpenEdge?

Regards, Onno

var http = require("http");

var options = {

 "method": "POST",

 "hostname": [

   "test",

   "test

 ],

 "path": [

   "api",

   "v1",

   "attachments"

 ],

 "headers": {

   "content-type": "multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW",

   "Cache-Control": "no-cache",

   "Postman-Token": "8631da63-55e3-43f0-bdb4-1fee2cfca911"

 }

};

var req = http.request(options, function (res) {

 var chunks = [];

 res.on("data", function (chunk) {

   chunks.push(chunk);

 });

 res.on("end", function () {

   var body = Buffer.concat(chunks);

   console.log(body.toString());

 });

});

req.write("------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"attachment\"\r\n\r\n\r\n------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"attachment\"\r\n\r\n\r\n------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--");

req.end();

Hi guys

I'm investigating how to streaming reports/PDF's from OpenEdge to a REST-service. That REST-service requires me to do streaming, but I can't find any support from streaming with the current HTTP implementation.

I'm wondering if anyone has done this before or if someone can give me some usefull pointers?

Have you looked at System.Net.HttpWebRequest with the SendChunked set to true?

Hi,

I can't use System.NET because our backend also runs on Linux/Unix.

And making calls from the client, by using System.NET, is not desireable because of the tight security measures that are in place nowadays.

But... it turned out that the REST-service that I needed to call, is accepting the request from openedge. I used a Multipart message that contained one binary part, and it worked like a charm!!

So thanks for your time everyone!
