Re: http_url_post_xml and REST



I found the issue with writing the IFS file using codepage=1028...



flags=O_RDWR+O_CREAT+O_TRUNC+O_TEXTDATA+O_CODEPAGE;       
mode=S_IRWXU+S_IRWXG+S_IROTH+S_IXOTH;                     
codepage=819;   // 437 or 819  1208-UTF-8                 
fd=open(%trim(filename):flags:mode:codepage);             
callp close(fd);                                          
                                                          
flags=O_RDWR+O_TEXTDATA;                                  
fd=open(%trim(filename):flags);                           



The last calls to the flags needed to just be O_RDWR.

Changing to 1208 on the write didn't make a difference. I still get the same error. I'm trying to get up with the technical people on the other end to see what was actually received to trigger the error. So far, no luck.

Jay,

1208 isn't a code page, it's a CCSID.   UTF-8 is much more than just a
single code page.

When you say "nothing gets written", this sounds an awful lot like a
coding error.  Can you show us how you're writing this XML?

Having said that, I can't see why using 1208 vs 819 would have any
impact on the specific error you're getting. I agree that 1208 is
better, mind you -- but I don't think it'll be the solution to the
immediate problem.

I tried the 1208 codepage for the creation of the XML file. The problem is that nothing gets written to the IFS file when set this way.

Even if the file looks fine on your PC and is displayed nicely in Firefox
and IE, I would create it with codepage 1208, which is UTF-8. Codepage 819
matches ISO-8859-1 of the west European languages.

Procedure http_url_post_stmf() does not do any character translation and
therefore there is no other option (beside the codepage of the stmf) to
change the codepage.

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, '&lt;' 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.

Thomas.

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.
