RE: HTTPAPI - A path name is too long
The QDLS file system (like the old DOS file system) does not allow file names that are longer than 8+3 characters. Your file name VIN229453 is 9 characters long. That'll produce an error message.
The QDLS file system is really old and should really only be used if some of the OfficeVision functionality is needed. Otherwise you should move on to the root file system or the QopenSys file systems that also performs better.
Regards,
Kaj

Subject: HTTPAPI - A path name is too long
Has anyone received this message "open(): A path name is too long." When trying to perform a post that will result in receiving an XML file?
The full file name is "/qdls/Temp/VIN229453.xml".
Also, what is the best way to display the HTTP that is generated? I had the program in debug and verified all variables, and received the message at statement 135. RC was -1.
Below is the source that is executed prior to receiving the message ( I used EXAMPLE2, which I had successfully compiled & executed, as a starting point):
0094.00 /free
0095.00
0096.00 // Get the userid & password using input state & LOB -----
0097.00 Chain (State : LOB) UNCVDACCT;
0098.00 If %Found;
0099.00 UserID = EXPACT;
0100.00 Password = EXPPWD;
0101.00 endif;
0102.00
0103.00 // Post the request using input VIN, user, pwd ------------
0104.00
0105.00 Form = WEBFORM_open;
0106.00
0107.00 callp WEBFORM_SetVar(Form: 'id': UserID);
0108.00 callp WEBFORM_SetVar(Form: 'password': Password);
0109.00 callp WEBFORM_SetVar(Form: 'vinlist': VIN);
0110.00 callp WEBFORM_SetVar(Form: 'level': 'full');
0111.00
0112.00 // The WEBFORM_postData() routine retrieves data suitable for
0113.00 // the http_url_post() API.
0114.00
0115.00 callp WEBFORM_postData(Form: myPointer: dataSize);
0116.00
0117.00 // The http_url_post() function does an HTTP POST operation
0118.00 // sending any data at the pointer you specify.
0119.00
0120.00 // The results, in this case, are saved to the IFS in
Filename
0121.00 // like '/qdls/Temp/VIN123456.xml' which is last 6 char of
vin.
0122.00
0123.00 Filename = '/qdls/Temp/VIN' + %subst(vin:12:6) + '.xml';
0124.00
0125.00 rc =
http_url_post('http://www.experian.com/ais/servlets/VHRXML'
0126.00 : myPointer
0127.00 : dataSize
0128.00 : Filename
0129.00 : HTTP_TIMEOUT);
0130.00
0131.00 if rc = 302;
0132.00 rc = http_url_get(http_redir_loc : Filename);
0133.00 endif;
0134.00
0135.00 if rc <> 1;
0136.00 msg = http_error;
0137.00 dsply msg;
0138.00 else;
0139.00 exsr Parse_XML;
0140.00 endif;
0141.00
0142.00 // When done, make sure you call this function to free up
memory
0143.00 callp WEBFORM_close(Form);
0144.00
0145.00 *inlr = *on;
The Parse_XML subroutine parses the XML document using the slick operand XML-INTO.
