Hi Team

I am calling external API from HTTP client

Source Code:

usercontrol(html; HTML)

{

ApplicationArea = all;

trigger ControlReady()

Var

JSONManagement: Codeunit "JSON Management";

"HttpClient": HttpClient;

HttpContent: HttpContent;

HttpMessage: HttpRequestMessage;

HttpRespnse: HttpResponseMessage;

JsonText: Text;

ResponseMessage: Text;

cnew: text;

TypeHelper: Codeunit "Type Helper";

begin

NR := 'SEDC470R/3841D';

IF NR = '' THEN begin

end

ELSE begin

HttpMessage.SetRequestUri('https://.........r.avd.dk/api/97d267826-2dc0/items/' + TypeHelper.UrlEncode(NR) + '/listDummyall?pc=Ja');

HttpClient.Send(HttpMessage, HttpRespnse);

HttpContent := HttpRespnse.Content();

HttpContent.ReadAs(ResponseMessage);

CurrPage.html.Render(ResponseMessage);

end;

}

but it returns a 404 Not Found HTML page.

looks like it's not encoding the forward slash. or is there some other step that i am missing

When i do like you do i have never had any need to encode the forward slash in any special way. So please check your URL again and make sure there are no typos of any kind.

Hi, I think you can try another URL, if you can get it, then it is a problem with the URL, if not, it is a problem with the code you wrote.

Here is a simple example:

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Actually the parameter NR has slash in it, like SEDC470R/3841D.

and i also have ENCODED THE VALUE WITH %2F but its not working for the slash.

And URl is perfectly fine because i had tried with different NR without slash like DEDC570S, and its working fine

I tried it with another URL its the same result.

Actually the parameter NR has a slash in it, like SEDC470R/3841D.

and i also have ENCODED THE VALUE WITH %2F but its not working for the slash.

Api returns proper record of those NR that does not include slash in it.

Hi

it's not the same look at it

my url: https://.........r.avd.dk/api/97d267826-2dc0/items('+TypeHelper.UrlEncode(NR)+')

your url: https://.........r.avd.dk/api/97d267826-2dc0/items/' + TypeHelper.UrlEncode(NR) + '/
