Re: Emulate cURL file upload with HTTP API

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

   So I found the http_mfd_encoder_xxxx routines...
   Looking into them they would appear to be what I'm looking for..
   But unless I'm missing something, it appears my desire to avoid writing
   to the IFS is doubly shot.  The http_mfd_encoder_xxxx routines write to
   there own temporary IFS file, plus I have to write my data out to an
   IFS file before using the http_mfd_encoder_addstmf() procedure..
   It doesn't seem to me that HTTP API will breakup the transfer on the
   boundaries like cURL did...But I'd assume that's not going to be an
   issue.

   All,
   I'm trying to integrate with a web service where I was given the
   following cURL example:
   Curl --form request=batch --form orderfile=@orderfilename
   [2]https://somitctest1.richmondanalytics.com/rtdc.php -b cookie-file
   I downloaded cURL for windows in order to see what was going on.  The
   cURL trace shows

   I'm trying to understand what I'd need to do with HTTP API to emulate
   this.
   As an added bonus, I'd really prefer to do directly from a variable in
   RPG without actually writing out an IFS stream file to send.
   I feel I understand what's going on, I'm just not enough of an expert
   with HTTP API to know what I need to do inside HTTP API.
   Thanks!
   Charles
