CallHTTP
From Pickwiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchNote: in Windows/Universe, if your request is taking more than 5 seconds, there's a bugfix.
Here is a very simple example using CallHTTP:
URL="http://www.example.com" HTTP.METHOD = "GET" X.RTN.CODE = createRequest(URL, HTTP.METHOD, X.HANDLE) CRT 'createRequest: ':X.RTN.CODE X.RTN.CODE = submitRequest(X.HANDLE, '', '', X.RESPONSE.HEADERS, X.RESPONSE.DATA, X.HTTP.STATUS) CRT 'submitRequest: ':X.RTN.CODE * CRT 'X.RESPONSE.HEADERS = ':X.RESPONSE.HEADERS CRT 'X.RESPONSE.DATA = ':X.RESPONSE.DATA CRT 'X.HTTP.STATUS = ':X.HTTP.STATUS
John T. (johnt -at- amileasing -dot- com) Here's some more sample CallHTTP code:
The samples show calling a web service to get some data. The first example, however, does not work at least as of Universe 9.6. CallHTTP, when doing a POST request, will strip out any Content-Type headers added Ref: http://www.indexinfocus.com/dl/u2list/200304/49063.html
