http_header

[James Viney <James.Viney@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Hello,


   I'm having a little trouble with the http_header function, and just
   wanted to check that I'm using it correctly.  I'm currently using
   v1.23, but will upgrade in case this might be the issue.


   I've been using the HTTP APIs successfully for years with SOAP
   webservices, but I now have to start consuming a RESTful webervice.
   The service in question appears quite simple where I would POST some
   data that needs checking, and the service will then pass back the URL
   that I would need to run a subsequent GET against to receive the
   results.  The URL is passed back in the header however, and I just
   can't seem to pick it up.


   From the debug log, it appears that the initial post is successful and
   I can see the URL begin returned:


   Protocol Used: TLS Version 1

   http_persist_post(): entered

   http_long_ParseURL(): entered

   do_post(): entered

   POST /query/EmailValidate/1.0/ HTTP/1.1

   Host: api.experianmarketingservices.com

   User-Agent: http-api/1.23

   Content-Type: text/xml

   recvresp(): entered

   https://api.experianmarketingservices.com/result/EmailValidate/1.0/xxxx
   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

   Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2015 10:06:54 GMT



   SetError() #13: HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

   http_close(): entered




   I've altered some of the values to xxxxx.  TheURL I need to pick up is
   under "Content-Location", so in my code directly after the
   http_url_post I've used the line wkNewLoc =
   http_header(`Content-Length'); however wkNewLoc is blank.  I've tried
   with and without the colon after content-length but neither work.


   The return code is "204" as there is no content to be returned (so my
   response file is blank) - would this affect the http_header api?
   Having searched the archive I've read that a Content-Length of 0
   shouldn't affect this however.


   Any help would be very welcome.


   Thanks,


   James
