RE: YAJL procedures

[Greg Wilburn <gwilburn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

Yes... a web service that uses JSON payload.

http_post() requires only 4 parameters.  I'm passing 7 (including the peResponse, peTimeoute, peUserAgent, and peContentType)

The 8th parameter is SoapAction.  This is not a SOAP webservice.

Thanks.

Jon - so you just define a variable "based-on" the pointer?

Greg

Greg, I think you're missing a parameter.  http_post accepts 8 parameters
but you only show 7.  Check after jsonLen.  There should be peFilename and
peTimeout.  In your example response may represent one of these.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by a json web service but I have to call a
web service and pass a json body (this may be what you mean).  I use
http_url_post_raw().  So my call looks like

 rc = http_url_post_raw(url: %Addr(jsonStr): %Len(%Trim(jsonStr)) :1
:%paddr('INCOMING')
                                      :HTTP_TIMEOUT :HTTP_USERAGENT
:'application/json');.
