Get File Through HTTP

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to transfer a file residing on the servers' HDD via HTTP to a client. The file can be transferred via web service or basic HTTP Response. How can I accomplish that?

thanks,

Hi Ferudun,

Did you read the post http://scn.sap.com/thread/1646766 ?

Perhaps it can help you to send the file via http post.

Here is a summary of how to do it with an HTTP Post:

data: lo_http_client type REF TO if_http_client,
      l_file         type xstring.

cl_http_client=>create(
  EXPORTING
    host               = `example.com/target/path`
  IMPORTING
    client             = lo_http_client ).

lo_http_client->request->set_method(
  if_http_request=>co_request_method_post ).

OPEN DATASET my_file FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
  ... "Fill l_file
CLOSE DATASET my_file.

lo_http_client->request->set_data( l_file ).

* Replace text/html with appropriate MIME type
lo_http_client->request->set_content_type( `text/html` ).

lo_http_client->send( ).
