Call http get method from abap

[Former Member]

This is our first web services connection. I'm trying to figure out how to use the soap 1.2 or http get info the vendor provided to work in SAP. I was able to make a small demo program that connects with the method cl_http_client=>create_by_url but it's limited to 255 characters and the http get method exceeds that length. Any pointers or help would be great.

SOAP 1.2

The following is a sample SOAP 1.2 request and response. The placeholders shown need to be replaced with actual values.

POST /cirus/clientapi010.asmx HTTP/1.1 Host: svcdemo.r2ss.net Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: length  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"> <soap12:Body> <Search xmlns="http://r2ss.com/webservices/"> <companyCode>int</companyCode> <userName>string</userName> <userPassword>string</userPassword> <firstName>string</firstName> <lastName>string</lastName> <streetAddress>string</streetAddress> <stateName>string</stateName> <city>string</city> <zipCode>string</zipCode> <identifierType>string</identifierType> <identifier>string</identifier> <identifierState>string</identifierState> <MasterRecordType>string</MasterRecordType> <ProfessionalType>string</ProfessionalType> <Specialty>string</Specialty> </Search> </soap12:Body> </soap12:Envelope>

Hi,

   If you send request by get method the url should not exceed 255.That is http protocol restriction. So use Post method instead  of get method.

call method cl_http_client=>create_by_url

exporting host  = host_str

   service       = service_str

   proxy_host    = proxy_host

   proxy_service = proxy_service

   scheme        = scheme

importing client  = client

exceptions

         argument_not_found = 1

         internal_error     = 2

         plugin_not_active  = 3

call method client->request->set_method(

if_http_request=>co_request_method_post ).
