Re: First Timer: HTTPS And http_url_post_stmf - Issues

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mike,

400 Bad Request usually means that the URL you are providing is not in a 
valid format for the HTTP protocol.

Looking at your debug, it looks like there's a lot of extra blanks 
(right?) in the URL.  Try trimming them off with %trimr()...

      C                   Eval      Wrk_RetCode = http_url_post_stmf(
      C                             %trimr(UlUrl):
      C                             %trim(UlIFSP):
      C                             %trim(UlIFSR))
