Re: Soap Variable Limited to 32767 Bytes Length in HTTP API

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jamal,

HTTPAPI does not have a 32767 limit in it's POST data.  (which is what I 
assume you mean by "Soap Variable")

You can use a bigger variable if you like, just be sure to pass the 
proper pointer and size to HTTPAPI.

If you are compiling your RPG program targeting IBM i version 6.1 or 
higher, the RPG language supports up to 16 megabytes in a variable.  
HTTPAPI will send variables that large, as long as the proper pointer 
and length are passed to the API.

If you are targeting V5R4 or earlier, the RPG language does not support 
variables larger than 65535.  However, HTTPAPI still supports longer 
data, you just have to do it the "hard way", with pointer logic and 
memory allocation.  (Or a user space, which is similar.)

HTTPAPI can also send stuff from a stream file when you call the 
http_url_post_stmf or http_url_post_stmf_xml APIs.  That might be easier 
for you if you are on V5R4 or earlier, and don't want to work with 
dynamic memory.
