Hi,

I am using HTTP_CLIENT to send/receive data from a JAVA web service from ABAP program.

There will be the case when I need to send French/Norwegian characters as URL's request parameter.

(this Java URL expects a xml as a application parameter)

But at JAVA side, these special language specific characters are getting corrupted.

Is there any way to apply some sort of locale based encoding?

Following is the code I am using:-


MOVE 'http://host:port/a7/SearchRequirements.a7x' TO L_URL.
MOVE 'inputXML=<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><note><to>Tove</to><from>Jani</from><heading>Reminder</heading><body>Norwegian: æøå. French: êèé</body></note>' TO L_PARAMS_STRING.

CALL METHOD CL_HTTP_CLIENT=>CREATE_BY_URL
    EXPORTING
      URL                = L_URL
    IMPORTING
      CLIENT             = L_HTTP_CLIENT
    EXCEPTIONS
      ARGUMENT_NOT_FOUND = 1
      PLUGIN_NOT_ACTIVE  = 2
      INTERNAL_ERROR     = 3
      OTHERS             = 4 .

 CALL METHOD L_HTTP_CLIENT->REQUEST->SET_HEADER_FIELD
      EXPORTING NAME  = 'Accept'
                VALUE = 'text/xml'.

 CALL METHOD L_HTTP_CLIENT->REQUEST->SET_HEADER_FIELD
    EXPORTING NAME  = '~request_method'
               VALUE = 'POST' .

 CALL METHOD L_HTTP_CLIENT->REQUEST->SET_CONTENT_TYPE
    EXPORTING CONTENT_TYPE  = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' .

 IF L_PARAMS_STRING IS NOT INITIAL.
   CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
     EXPORTING
         TEXT   = L_PARAMS_STRING
     IMPORTING
           BUFFER = L_PARAMS_XSTRING
     EXCEPTIONS
        FAILED = 1
        OTHERS = 2.

 CALL METHOD L_HTTP_CLIENT->REQUEST->SET_DATA
    EXPORTING DATA  = L_PARAMS_XSTRING  .
 ENDIF.

  CALL METHOD L_HTTP_CLIENT->SEND
    EXCEPTIONS
      HTTP_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE = 1
      HTTP_INVALID_STATE         = 2.

    CALL METHOD L_HTTP_CLIENT->RECEIVE
      EXCEPTIONS
        HTTP_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE = 1
        HTTP_INVALID_STATE         = 2
        HTTP_PROCESSING_FAILED     = 3.

 CALL METHOD L_HTTP_CLIENT->RESPONSE->GET_CDATA
        RECEIVING DATA = L_RESULT .

Please help.

Regards,

Amey

I resolved it myself by setting correct request attributes in HTTP_CLIENT object.

"Content-type", "text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1"
