Re: [Ftpapi] Part 2: HTTP/1.1 415 Cannot process the message because the content

Hi Scott,

Thanks for getting back to me. I did some additional leg work and identified my problem. It was me, not anything to do with HTTPAPI. In short, I entered something in the SOAP request incorrectly. It was very subtle, but by comparing it to one of the calls that worked, I was able to spot it.

Sorry for the confusion.

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

You mention something about 2nd-level text, which I find somewhat confusing. Are you saying that this message (which sure looks like an HTTP message) is in an IBM i message queue somewhere?

Unless you're putting it there, I'm not sure how that would happen?

Please create a trace file and send that to us so that we can understand what is going on. To do that, add a line of code like this to your program (before using other functions in HTTPAPI):

http_debug(*on: '/tmp/mytracefile.txt');

When you use HTTPAPI, it will write diagnostic information to the IFS file specified in the second parameter. Please send us that file.

Thanks for the suggestions for my initial request about SOAP calls from RPGLE. I made the changes and, with a couple other changes, was able to call the method and parse its returned XML into my nested data structures.

Now I’m on to the next method – and this one is giving me a bit of trouble. To use the 2^nd method I basically cloned the 1^st and made some changes. Now when I call http_string() it errors out with the following: “HTTP/1.1 415 Cannot process the message because the content type 'text/xml' was” – and that’s it! 2^nd level help text tells me “No additional online help information is available.”

My Endpoint URL, Input SOAP message and SOAP action are correct (as far as I can tell from SoapUI). My soapResponse is blank because of the error.

Any ideas?

One thought – I can make consecutive calls to different SOAP apis, right? Is there anything I have to do to ‘close out’ the first call before I can issue a second call?

I’m putting these SOAP api calls into a *SRVPGM and in my *PGM my code basically looks like this:

unitNumber = ‘2900C’;

currentLocation = getCurrentLocation(unitNumber); // this call works just fine

currentMeter = getCurrentMeter(currentLocation: unitNumber); // this is the call that’s giving me an error on the http_string() call.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!
