Problems downloading file info from https - Fieldglass

[vicky_anselmi]

Hello all,

I need to download in an internal table the contents of an CSV file that is placed in an URL in Fieldglass.

The url opens a popup to select the directory where to save the file, but what I need is to read it from ABAP to an internal table.

I have tried several things and read lots of threads and still I can´t solve this.

When I use function  'HTTP_GET_FILE'  using an RFC I was provided and test connection to www.fieldglass.net is ok I´m getting the error:

Illegal destination type 'G'.

Message No. 04108

I also tried calling the function just with URL but also got an error:

Connect Error: OpenSSL not available

Message No. 04100

Then I tried to use class  cl_http_client.

Methods  create_by_url,  set_header_field,   set_header_field,  schemetype_https,  send and listen seem to be exectuted ok, but method receive (where I supposed the data may apppear) returns error.

I also tried using functions 'HTMLCNTL_CREATE', 'HTMLCNTL_INIT', 'HTMLCNTL_SHOW_DATA' -> here I send the url, but this last one of course shows the popup I don´t want, because I need to put datadirectly in an internal table.

Is it possible that the link with the popup isnot usefull and I need a different one? What else can I try?

Thanks a lot in advanced,

Vicky

Try asking Fieldglass if there is way to connect it via SFTP instead of HTTPS, then you can use different adapter to get file.

I´ll ask that and will let you know, thanks!

Hi Vicky,

The SSL error means that is not able to establish a secure connection. If your url starts with HTTP it will use an unsecured connection, and if it starts with HTTPS it will use encryption. So one of the two endpoints is failing to achieve the handshake over a https protocol.

It's crucial for you to see how the request is being generated. So I advice you to turn on the HTTP trace with transaction ST01. Do you see any entries on that log?

Regards,

Leonardo.
