Re: http_url_post_xml and REST -- RPG400-L

The XML is created on the IFS using codepage 819.

When it is downloaded to a PC, everything looks file. If I load it to IE or FIREFOX, everything comes up perfectly.

Now that's a possibility.

What's the best way to force the encoding?

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.
