I have a project where I need to call a url(that accesses our document
management system) from within an RPG program.

I have experimented with building a .bat file before but I don't like
that solution, so I thought about using TINYURL to return a shorter link
that I can call.

So do to that I thought I would use Scotts HTTPAPI stuff.

I have this mostly working, but I'm not getting the correct link back
from tinyurl.

So I have this
'http://rgc-filenexus/FileNexus/BrowserClient/directlink.aspx?fid=58&cid
=32&iid=23&iv=100377101'

I expect to get back this from TinyUrl
http://tinyurl.com/3ohj5m4

Instead I'm getting
http://tinyurl.com/3o7lzto

Which translates to this

'http://rgc-filenexus/FileNexus/BrowserClient/directlink.aspx?fid=58'

I have been through the program and I don't see anywhere where I'm
truncating anything. Any idea why this is happening?


Basics of the code are below

C Eval URL = 'http://rgc-filenexus/FileNexus/+
C BrowserClient/directlink.aspx?+
C fid=58&cid=32&iid=23&iv=100377101'

C** The only diff between using HTTPwserClientg HTTP is
C** the URL that we pass. It starts with 'https://'
C Eval PostURL = 'http://tinyurl.com/api-+
C create.php?url='
C Eval PostData = URL
C
C callp HTTP_SetFileCCSID(819)
C Eval rc = http_url_post(%trim(PostURL) +
C %trim(postdata)
C : mypointer
C : %len(PostData)
C : logfile
C : HTTP_TIMEOUT
C : HTTP_USERAGENT)

Thanks

Mike
