Re: http_url_post_xml and REST -- RPG400-L

I changed the http_url_post_stmf parameter for the XML file to a %trim(#filename) and that corrected the quote issue. The quote was there, but way out of place...

I've gone through the http_debug.txt file to see if there were any other missing marks. Nothing.

I'm including part of the post data (I cut it off as it does have some confidential stuff..)

The XML generated is paired up correctly with information.

That's possible -- could be the encoding.

But, another possibility is that the missing quote on the filename is
causing the web service to interpret the start of the XML data as part
of the filename (up until the first quote mark found in the XML data --
in the XML version) If that happened, the first characters it'd see in
the XML document would be the "1.0", which would also trigger the error
that Jay cited.

So, I think he should check both things... That quote is not optional,
he needs to find out why it's missing.

And, he needs to make sure the XML is in the proper encoding, too.

For me the error message implies that you do not send the XML in UTF-8 but
any other encoding. That way the server can not find the "<" character at
the first position of the XML.

The error message:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><error>XML Error: Fatal error:
Start tag expected, '<' not found at :1.</error>

What the server tries to read:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<service_orders>

Because of the wrong encoding it can not find the "<" of "<?xml ...".

Nothing more than a guess.

I have that in there. Thanks though!

I hard coded it just during my original attempts to get it running.

It's running now. Just have an error with the XML (or their server
says there's an error).

I was looking in the httpapi_debug.txt file and noticed that the
filename line is missing a double quote at the end of the filename.
I doubt that is causing my issue...

Jay,

I know you've gotten past this point already, but... one tip for you
with regard to the following code:

if (rc <> 1);
msg = http_error(err);
dsply msg;
if err<>36;
callp http_crash();
return;
endif;
exsr $getPassword;
endif;

There are named constants in HTTPAPI_H for each error number. So
instead of coding err<>36, you could code err<>HTTP_NDAUTH. This is
just easier to read... HTTP_NDAUTH visually looks like 'Need
Authentication", whereas it's hard to say what '36' means. Even I
didn't know what it was without looking it up...

It's just a small tip, though... what you have will work okay, it's just

not as nice to read.
