Re: [Ftpapi] I need to pass my post data as json...
Scott,
I think that the problems Gerald had are somewhat normal when starting
with new stuff. For me nothing was intuitive when I started with HTTPAPI
and web services (later on). That also happened, when I started with
XML, Java and actually every new stuff. Currently I have to wrestle with
Dynamics AX.
People starting with WSDL2RPG often ask things where I think "Why do
he/she asks that. It should be clear." But then I remember my first
steps and I gladly answer the question.
It is the "feeling" for the new topic that is missing and that has to grow.
But what always helped was looking at examples and from my point of view
the examples shipped with HTTPAPI cover lots of aspects. Eventually the
remaining problems can be solved with the help of the mailing list.
Last but not least it was great if people would add examples or little
PDF tutorials for those things that were not clear for them. That would
ease the life of the next developer starting from scratch. Of course I
know that creating a new example is not always possible, because there
is not public http service they could use for it.
Just my two cents,
Thomas.
