Re: Reg: HTTPAPI for IBMi

Hello Suren,

There is no performance delay in using http_req().

Using http_string() may be slightly slower than http_req() due to the
way it handles return values, but I also don't think you'd notice the
difference. It is a very small amount of time that most people will not
see -- the bottleneck is almost always the network, not copying bytes
around on the local system. But, if indeed you are worried about the
tiny amount of extra processing in http_string, simply call http_req
instead.

Good Luck,

Hi Everyone,

I am exploring Scott Klement's HTTPAPI for making outbound HTTP requests
from IBMi.

I could see http_req() is the function used for making all types of HTTP
requests. Also i could see the HTTP_string() function for making all

types

of HTTP requests for shorter strings (which in turn used http_req() for
processing).

I am planning to use http_req() directly for all types of requests

(shorter

and also longer strings), will it create any performance delay or using
http_req() directly will execute any additional steps?

Could you please give me your suggestions in it?

Surender K
