Calling HTTP from ABAP

Former Member — Mon, 11 May 2009 13:01:39 GMT

Hi ,

I want to call HTTP link from ABAP. On initial research , I found that I can do the task in 2 ways:---

1. by using class cl_http_client,

2. by using program RSHTTP20 .

Is it the correct information I got.

Out of the 2 methods, which method can I prefer and what are d pros and cons of the above methods?

Please help.

Thanks,

Shivaa...

Hi Shiva ,

you can use the function module HTMLCNTL_SHOW_URL.

go with cl_http_client, this provides much more control that the HTTP_GET functions

Hi All,

I have a problem to pass a file.txt in a parameter of a web service.

Iam using CL_HTTP_CLIENT and I am passing the parameters (user, password and file):

clear wa_form.

wa_form-name = 'user'.

wa_form-value = '33333333333'.

append wa_form to it_form.

clear wa_form.

wa_form-name = 'password'.

wa_form-value = '11111111'.

append wa_form to it_form.

clear wa_form.

wa_form-name = 'file'.

wa_form-value = data. ---> "data" is a type string with the data of the file.txt.

append wa_form to it_form.

r_client->request->set_form_fields( fields = it_form ).

I have not problem with the user and password parameters.

Thank.

you have to upload the file and pass the files content to that string
