Hi everyone,

I'm finding an issue sending a json to an API.

The sending function is this:

SendJSONtoAPI(VAR pJson : Text) : Text
IF ISCLEAR(XMLHTTP) THEN
  CREATE(XMLHTTP,FALSE,TRUE);
XMLHTTP.open('POST', 'eshop.xxx-eu.com/.../rest');
XMLHTTP.setRequestHeader('Content-Type: ', 'multipart/form-data');
XMLHTTP.setRequestHeader('Host','eshop.XXX-eu.com');
XMLHTTP.send(pJson);

In fidler, as far as I know, seems to be a correct call:

But the adminsitrator of the service, is telling me that he is receiving an empty cal...

So I tried to use postman as he has recommend me, like this:

And it works correctly. I think that may be I'm asending incorrectly the content of the JSON. In postmna, the content is assigned to a variable called "json". Could be that the problem? How can I reproduce that in the NAV call?

Thaank you very much

HI,

What's the reason you are working with XMLhttp and not System.Net.HttpWebRequest ?

There no reason, just because I have copied from another of my functions, and it was working...

I've also wrote this code:

//2 lHttpWebRequestMgt.Initialize('eshop.xxx-eu.com/.../rest'); lHttpWebRequestMgt.DisableUI; lHttpWebRequestMgt.SetMethod('POST'); lHttpWebRequestMgt.SetContentType('multipart/form-data'); lHttpWebRequestMgt.SetReturnType('application/json'); lHttpWebRequestMgt.AddBodyAsText(pJson); lHttpWebRequestMgt.GetResponse(Instr,HttpStatusCode,ResponseHeaders);

And the result still the same...

Hi,

I'm using a function like this to send a body:

LOCAL SetRequestStream(VAR HttpWebRequest : DotNet "System.Net.HttpWebRequest";VAR String : DotNet "System.String") StreamWriter := StreamWriter.StreamWriter(HttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream); StreamWriter.Write(String); StreamWriter.Close;

Name DataType Subtype

StreamWriter

DotNet

System.IO.StreamWriter.'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'

Maybe this helps.

Hm,

but you have the payload in fiddler.

Did you try to send your request to a service like https://requestbin.com/ ?

Does it look the same when you send using Postman?

Hi again,

It looks different.

Executing from the postman, I can see this:

As you can see, the content is loaded into a variable called "json", created in the postman this way:

As I expected, this seems to be the problem, the service is waiting to receive the content in a variable called "json". How can I simulate this?

Thank you very much

The headers also look different.

From NAV:

From postman:

Did you tried with 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' for the content type ?

Request.ContentType('application/x-www-form-urlencoded'); postString := STRSUBSTNO('json=%1',YourJSONRequestString); Request.ContentLength := STRLEN(postString); StreamWriter := StreamWriter.StreamWriter(Request.GetRequestStream); StreamWriter.Write(postString); StreamWriter.Close;

THnaks for your answer.

I've coded like this:

HttpWebRequest := HttpWebRequest.Create('ennwc7wnqy24r.x.pipedream.net'); HttpWebRequest.Method := 'POST'; HttpWebRequest.ContentType('application/x-www-form-urlencoded'); postString := STRSUBSTNO('json=%1',pJson); HttpWebRequest.ContentLength := STRLEN(postString); StreamWriter := StreamWriter.StreamWriter(HttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream); StreamWriter.Write(postString); StreamWriter.Close;

And I get the error "Error in the call to System.IO.StreamWriter.Close with the message: Cannot close the sequence until all the bites are written".

And in requestBin, I see this:

I've quited "HttpWebRequest.ContentLength := STRLEN(postString);" sentence, and I don't get the error. But like this, I don't receive any request into requestBin....
