Re: CGIDEV2 and REST web services -- WEB400

Bradley,

Thanks for tip. Yes, I am using Scott's YAJL port. I hadn't looked at all of the sub-procedures available in the YAJL service program just yet. You are correct that I don't need much of CGIDEV2 to accomplish this. I was playing around with returning XML in addition to JSON, so I was using the CGIDEV2 procedures to create the XML response.

If you're using Scott's YAJL port it's ok to come in not translated.
Otherwise you'll need to convert it to start working with it because, as
mentioned, application/json tells the apace server to not convert it.

In fact, you shouldn't need much of any CGIDEV2 for this application if
it's simply parsing JSON.

Here's what I like to do:

content_type = getHTTPHeader('CONTENT_TYPE');

if (content_type <> 'application/json');
//error
endif;

docNode = yajl_stdin_load_tree(*ON:yajl_error);

Now, you could use the content-type to change the switch on
yajl_stdin_load_tree but I prefer this method to make sure the proper
content-type is always passed.

Since I was using SOAPUI, they had a drop down list for the content-type
values and text/json wasn't an option. It did have an option for text/xml,
so I used that and it worked like a charm. Then, I discovered I can type
in the content-type field in SOAPUI and I changed it to text/json. Now, it
is working as expected. Thanks for your help.

Dean,

text/json will work fine. it's just the "application" that does it.

There has been a lot of talk about it but I never heard of a ways to
change it. I think it is hard coded in Apache.

But if you can change to ContentType = text/json then you don't have to

translate.

Thanks
