Is there a way to setup default value for AllowHttpClientRequests on Extensions Settings

In customized app, by default it's always True, but needed to be false?

Hi @CU18061139-0,

In Business Central, the AllowHttpClientRequests setting controls whether extensions are allowed to make HTTP requests using the HttpClient object. This setting is per extension and must be declared in the app.json file of your AL project.
Unfortunately, there is no way to set a global or environment-wide default for AllowHttpClientRequests. It must be explicitly defined in each extension.

Best regards,

Mohamed Amine MAHMOUDI

Hello,

In a standard way you could not change the default value. You would have to assign it from AL code.

Hi,

You can use the code below by creating a new Codeunit with SubType = Installed.

Then, execute this function within the OnInstallAppPerDatabase trigger for your custom extensions.

local procedure DisableWebServiceCalls()

var

NavAppSettings: Record "NAV App Setting";

AppInfo: ModuleInfo;

begin

NavApp.GetCallerModuleInfo(AppInfo);

NavAppSettings."App ID" := AppInfo.Id;

NavAppSettings."Allow HttpClient Requests" := false;

if not NavAppSettings.Insert() then

NavAppSettings.Modify();

end;
