HTTP_POST

Former Member — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 23:56:16 GMT

Hi,

I have used an HTTP_GET function to obtain and XML from a URL, but the body of the response comes back as a text table. So I had to convert the table to a string, then the string to an xstring to use the call transformation statement on it.

Now I want to go back and post a resulting XML file as an XSTRING back to the URL. It seems that if I want to use function HTTP_POST I will need to convert the XTSTRING to a STRING and again the STRING to a TABLE. Isn't there a more efficcient way to post an XML document that's already and XTSRING?

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Pete,

have you tried using the CL_HTTP_CLIENT class?

A good example can be found at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e5/4d3514c11411d4ad310000e83539c3/frameset.htm

This will return you the XML payload as a string.

Cheers
