Re: HTTP_URL_POST

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tony,

Is there a reason you're using http_url_post() instead of 
http_post_stmf()?   The latter routine is designed to read IFS files and 
send them over HTTP.   So there's no reason to do stuff like copy your 
file into a user space, et al...

However, if I had to guess at why your program doesn't work, it's 
because you're accepting a 50 byte parameter.  If this is called from 
the command line (or a literal in a CL program, or a SBMJOB...) this 
will cause variables in your program to be corrupted, unless you make 
sure you're passing 50 bytes of data.

Either way, though...  this is not a problem with HTTPAPI.  The code you 
are having trouble with is inside your RPG program, it's not in 
HTTPAPI.  You are building a pathname in your program, and passing it to 
the IBM stat() API, and when that fails, you get the message you cite.  
You aren't even calling HTTPAPI when you get it -- so it can't possibly 
be a problem with HTTPAPI.
