Re: SQL HTTP Function to get a text file from web service

Note that HTTPGETCLOB makes use of Java to actually perform the web
request...

I wouldn't recommend using it in 1000's of interactive jobs...or 1000's of
quick running batch jobs for that matter.

And it appears you need to configure Java to accept the certificate being
provided...
page 21 and 22 of the " Accessing web services using IBM DB2 for i HTTP
UDFs and UDTFs" whitepaper should help...

Well, I seem to have made a bit of progress.

SELECT SYSTOOLS.HTTPGETCLOB('<the url>',
cast('<httpHeader>
<header name="User-Agent" value="<the agent>" />

But, the next hurdle is a certificate error. I didn't have any issues
with that using Python.
"The certificate issued by CN=DST Root CA X3, O=Digital Signature Trust
Co. is not trusted"

My knowledge of dealing with certs is pretty minimal.

Once I get past that, I feel like the dog chasing a car. What do I do
when I catch it?

Subject: SQL HTTP Function to get a text file from web service

I have a Python script that downloads a text file from a web service.
Looks like this:

response = requests.get(
url="https:<the url>",
headers={
"Accept": "text/tab",
"API-TOKEN": "<the token>",
"SITE-USER": "<the user>",
"user-agent": "<the agent>",
}
)

with open(TxtFileName, 'wb') as outputFile:
outputFile.write(response.content)
outputFile.close()

Is this easily replicated using one of the SQL HTTP functions? After
download we put in a PF and feed a downstream process.

I feel like I should be able to figure this out but I'm just... stumped.

Thanks!!
