Re: Using REST service created with IWS

No Bread I am not.

I know how to add custom headers in HTTPAPI - I am doing a lot of that on
the current project.

This thread was about creating an IWS REST web service and putting the
request parameters into the URI

If you wanted to move some of the parameters from the URI to custom
headers how would you call the service if not using HTTPAPI (or GETURI)

I am sure i am not explaining this well due to a limited understanding of
REST services :-)

But I think Nadir has answered the question that any client would have a
method to set custom headers.

I think for some reason I was thinking you may be able to add custom
headers into the URI which now thinking about it that is rather dumb :-(

Cheers

He's asking how do you include custom headers using HTTPAPI.

I know there's a way, and if you search the demos in the HTTPAPI library I
bet you'd find the answer.

For GETURI it's as simple as including them in the command, or in the ILE
interface, whichever way you want to do it

the

HTTP headers that are sent by a client to an IWS service, you have two
options.

(1) Inject the HTTP header into an input field, or

(2) In the web service properties, there is a "Request Information" tab,
where you can specify what information (transport meta-data or HTTP
headers) that will be sent the the web service implementation code as a
job environment variable.

I have been following this thread while working on a project to

consume

a

REST service from RPG with an external system.

In my case there are a lot of options that are required in the HEADER.

In IWS you can define a parameter type as HEADER (think this was shown

in

a previous response)

How do you include the header settings in the call.

I am using HTTPAPI and it provides a call back to handle this.

Just curious
