Re: Using REST service created with IWS

He's asking how do you include custom headers using HTTPAPI.

I know there's a way, and if you search the demos in the HTTPAPI library I
bet you'd find the answer.

For GETURI it's as simple as including them in the command, or in the ILE
interface, whichever way you want to do it

I am uncertain what you are asking. Any client library would have the
ability to set HTTP headers. If you are asking how would you retrieve the
HTTP headers that are sent by a client to an IWS service, you have two
options.

(1) Inject the HTTP header into an input field, or

(2) In the web service properties, there is a "Request Information" tab,
where you can specify what information (transport meta-data or HTTP
headers) that will be sent the the web service implementation code as a
job environment variable.

I have been following this thread while working on a project to consume

a

REST service from RPG with an external system.

In my case there are a lot of options that are required in the HEADER.

In IWS you can define a parameter type as HEADER (think this was shown

in

a previous response)

How do you include the header settings in the call.

I am using HTTPAPI and it provides a call back to handle this.

Just curious
