Function module HTTP_POST import parameter BLANKSTOCRLF

Former Member — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:55:56 GMT

Can anyone explain what this parameter BLANKSTOCRLF does on function module HTTP_POST.

I am trying to make a HTTP call from ECC5 using class cl_http_client but I am getting an error.

I make the call with HTTP_POST and it works okay when I set the BLANKSTOCRLF to 'X'.

When I don't set this parameter it fails in the same manner as my call using class CL_HTTP_CLIENT.

Can anyone explain what it does and can it be replicated in CL_HTTP_CLIENT ?

Thank you.

I am answering without having real experience with this FM.

BLANKSTOCRLF means convert blanks or spaces to newlines (carriage return + line feed ).

Above wikipedia link mentions that request line and headers must end with <CR><LF>.

EDIT: If you could post working example of HTTP_POST and non-working example of class, I can play around with it.

It turned out to be an incorrect content type on the HTTP call, nothing to do with BLANDSOCRLF.
