http data from report

[Former Member]

I would like to create a very simple report that

1) takes as input the url of a web site

2) open an http connection to the site taking its html

3) print the html as proof of hit

I want to do it the SAP server and not the GUI with fm like call_browser. What I have to do exactly if I want my sap server open an http connection to an external url.

Thanks in advance

solved:

wf_string = 'http://www.google.com'.
  CALL METHOD cl_http_client=>create_by_url
    EXPORTING
      url                = wf_string
    IMPORTING
      client             = http_client
    EXCEPTIONS
      argument_not_found = 1
      plugin_not_active  = 2
      internal_error     = 3
      OTHERS             = 4.

  CALL METHOD http_client->send
    EXCEPTIONS
      http_communication_failure = 1
      http_invalid_state         = 2.

  CALL METHOD http_client->receive
    EXCEPTIONS
      http_communication_failure = 1
      http_invalid_state         = 2
      http_processing_failed     = 3.
  CLEAR result .
  result = http_client->response->get_cdata( ).
