Re: REST service not sending JSON response body

Thanks for the response Bradley.


1. Sent my URL through Postman:
* Body: Nothing was returned
* Header: content-language -> en-US

content-length --> 0

date --> Fri, 27 Jul 2018 14:09:41 GMT

x-powered-by --> IBM i


2. The JSON that will be returned is already being generated using YAJL. It is currently being written to the IFS and picked up by a network scheduled job. Once I get this REST pgm working I was going to capture that JSON and send it back as the response.

A couple things.

Can you send a response from Postman or Chrome debugger to see everything
being returned?

2nd, I would strongly suggest you use something like Scott Klements YAJL
for this instead of calling the raw APIs, especially for building the
JSON. There is also a function in YAJL that will write out your JSON with
headers.

Using CGIDEV2 or eRPGSDK will also make things easier, such as reason
responses or any data parms passed in through a GET or POST.

I understand it's just a proof of concept. :)

I am creating a proof-of-concept REST application on our iSeries and I
have the majority of it working but I am not getting the JSON returned in
the response body. I added code that sends a message to QHST so I know
the service is getting called and the URI retrieved in the code is
correct. I've include the code below. When I execute the endpoint
http://iSeriesName/web/services/ORDERS/123456789123 from Fiddler the
Response Header returned is HTTP/1.1 200 OK but there is no response body.
How do I return my JSON in the response body?



This is what appears in QHST showing the program variables retrieved:


---> Version 1.0 <---
/web/services/ORDERS/123456789123
refOrderNumber: 123456789123
