Re: CONTENT_LENGTH = 0?

You can check out my Web Service Tester I wrote for RPG-XML Suite users. It
is free, open source and very simple. The source is in the .jar file. Go
here to download it: http://rpg-xml.com/downloads.aspx (it is the second
item in the middle of the page).

The other one I use a lot is SOAPUI (www.soapui.org) which can do regular
HTTP POST without being SOAP related. Basically what I do is created a
generic WSDL to get past the project creation part, and then just modify the
POST contents to be what I want. Here is my generic WSDL if you want to
save yourself the time of creating one:
http://rpg-xml.com/files/skeleton.wsdl To see how to use SOAPUI you can
watch this video:
http://rpg-xml.com/video/gen_xml_instance/gen_xml_instance.html. At about
2:32 is where you would replace the SOAP content with your raw XML that you
wanted to POST to the CGI pgm.

It appears like the problem is Poster. It doesn't seem to send the POST
data
to the program. Can anyone suggest a different program or Firefox extension
that can be used for testing programs like this? Free is preferred.

I have been using the below listed article [1] to figure out how to pass
parameters to my RPG-CGI program. I have a problem getting the
CONTENT_LENGTH. It always seems to return 0. We are on V5R4.

reqMethod = %str(getenv('REQUEST_METHOD'));
nContentLen = %int(%str(getenv('CONTENT_LENGTH')));

if (reqMethod = 'POST' and nContentLen > 0);
//if (reqMethod = 'POST');
cgiParse('-i ':'CGII0100': cgiBuffer: %size(cgiBuffer) :
nBytesRead : api_error);

putenv('REQUEST_METHOD=GET'); // Override method
endif;

endif;
return nBytesRead;

P CgiParseInz E

I am claiming stupid here so I am not sure what I maybe doing wrong. I am
using Poster (a Mozilla plugin)(

http://code.google.com/p/poster-extension/)

to test POST to this program.
