Re: First Timer: HTTPS And http_url_post_stmf - Issues

[Mike Schwartz <mike.schwartz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Hello Everyone,



   Just a quick update on a change I tried late last night.  I made a
   very simple change to the below piece of code, which seems to have
   made somewhat of a difference.  I added the "%trim()" to the UlUrl
   value.  This value is a string pulled from a file via a CHAIN
   operation.  Once I put this change in, I am no longer receiving the
   "400 - Bad Request" error.  Now I am receiving "417 - Expectation
   Failed".  Speaking with the customer I am working with, they feel the
   issue has to do with the "Expect:  100-continue" line.  They would
   like me to remove it and test again.  Is there any way at all to
   remove this line, other than physically removing it from the code in
   HTTPAPIR4?  I really do not want to go that route, as I am not sure if
   there are any legacy processes on our system that may be using this.



   Thanks,

   Mike



   Code that was changed in my program that was attached to last e-mail:

    *
    *** Post the web service request to the web site using a procedure
    *** from HTTPAPI.
   C                   Eval      Wrk_RetCode = http_url_post_stmf(
   C                             %trim(UlUrl):
   C                             %trim(UlIFSP):
   C                             %trim(UlIFSR))

   Hello Everyone,



   First, I want to say what a fantastic resource I have found this site
   to be.  I am an ooollldd S/36, S/38, AS/400 green screener, so when I
   had a project handed to me that involved Web Services, I definitely
   had the deer in the headlights look on my face.



   It turned out that the HTTPAPI libraries had been loaded on our
   AS/400, but were not being utilized, so there was really no one here
   that could offer me a lot of help.  I have picked up quite a bit
   reading through these lists, but due to my lack of knowledge, I am
   still having issues.



   I am trying to consume web services through a service utilizing
   RESTful architecture.  I am building an XML file, formatted through
   Inovis TrustedLink, and placed on the IFS.  To execute a POST
   operation, I am utilizing the HTTP_URL_POST_STMF() API.  The site I am
   connecting to is an HTTPS, and they specify they are utilizing SSL,
   which can also be seen as their certificate info is present in the
   HTTP Debug file.  I have imported their certificate into DCM and
   believe I have it correctly setup and linked to my program.



   When the program is run, it connects to their site, but I am
   continually getting a "400 - Bad Request" error message in reply.
   However, if I download the XML file from the IFS, and send it as an
   e-mail attachment to the client, they are able to easily load it into
   their system with no issues.



   So, I am hoping someone can review the attached documents which
   include my program, debug file, response file, and upload file, and
   hopefully provide me some assistance.  I have removed any "private"
   data from the debug file to "protect the innocent".



   Looking forward to hearing from everyone.



   Thanks in advance for your help.
