I have a project where I need to call a url(that accesses our document
management system) from within an RPG program.
I did some searching, but couldn't find any docs for the "api-create"
tool at tinyurl... I found lots of 3rd party tips referencing it, but
nothing official from TinyURL. But, from experimenting, it seems to be
using the GET method, not POST.
Here's an example of how I would code that (but I'm not familiar with
all of your requirements, so I may be doing something wrong.. hopefully
you can adapt it):
H DFTACTGRP(*NO) BNDDIR('HTTPAPI')
/define WEBFORMS
/copy httpapi_h
D raw_receiver PR 10i 0
D fd 10i 0 value
D data 65535a options(*varsize)
D len 10i 0 value
D rc s 10i 0
D form s like(WEBFORM)
D Url s 500a varying
D LongVersion s 256a
D ShortVersion s 50a varying
/free
LongVersion = '
http://rgc-filenexus/FileNexus/+
BrowserClient/directlink.aspx?+
fid=58&cid=32&iid=23&iv=100377101';
// encode the data the way a browser would
// if entered into an HTML form:
form = WEBFORM_open();
WEBFORM_setVar( form: 'url': %trimr(LongVersion) );
url = '
http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?'
+ WEBFORM_getData(form);
WEBFORM_close(form);
// Send with GET method:
// (note: I'm using get_raw so I don't have to
// save to/from disk)
ShortVersion = '';
rc = http_url_get_raw( url
: -1
: %paddr(raw_receiver) );
if (rc <> 1);
http_crash();
endif;
// This is just for demo purposes.
dsply ShortVersion;
*inlr = *on;
/end-free
*+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
* raw_receiver: This receives raw HTTP data as it arrives
* from the network.

P raw_receiver B
D PI 10i 0
D fd 10i 0 value
D data 65535a options(*varsize)
D len 10i 0 value
/free
if (len > 0);
HTTP_xlate( len: data: TO_EBCDIC );
ShortVersion += %subst(data:1:len);
endif;
return len;
/end-free
