Re: IWS REST POST request message body to input parameter

I'm on v7r3, trying to configure an IWS (Integrated Web Server) service for an HTTP POST request.


The IWS configuration looks like this:

Procedure name: ADDCASE
HTTP request method: POST
URI path template for method: *NONE
HTTP response code output parameter: *NONE
HTTP header array output parameter: *NONE
Allowed input media types: *ALL
Returned output media types: *XML
Input parameter mappings: Wrap input parameters


The raw request looks like this:

POST http://1.2.3.4:10010/web/services/RT0200S HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: application/xml
Content-Length: 343
Host: 1.2.3.4:10010
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1 (java 1.5)

<ADDCASEInput>
<name>Peter Dow</name>
<addr1>9379 Salina Way</addr1>
<addr2>25 char max</addr2>
<addr3>25 char max</addr3>
<city>Sacramento</city>
<state>CA</state>
<zip>95827</zip>
<email>petercdow@xxxxxxxxx</email>
<sku>abcdef</sku>
<proddesc>30 char max</proddesc>
<phone>9097939050</phone>
</ADDCASEInput>


My procedure (in a service program) has this:

p AddCase b export
d pi
d pCaseXML 1024a const input
d pCaseNbr 256a output


The problem is, pCaseXML is always blank. I ran a TCP app trace on the HTTP server, and it appears to be reading the message body from the POST, although it doesn't show the contents:

0002DBEE:256048 mod_was_ap22_http: cb_read_body: Entry
0002DBEE:256072 ap_setup_client_block()
0002DBEE:256080 ap_should_client_block()
0002DBEE:256088 ap_get_client_block(), length requested = 343.
0002DBEE:256088 ap_http_filter()
0002DBEE:256104 core_input_filter, mode = AP_MODE_READBYTES or AP_MODE_SPECULATIVE.
0002DBEE:256120 Collection services: r_IUO->bytes_received = 562
0002DBEE:256120 mod_was_ap22_http: cb_read_body: Exit

Am I configuring the IWS service incorrectly? Or am I supposed to get the message body in some other way?
