HttpRequest is UNICODE compatible or not

Hello,

Using Windev 22

To send SMS using HttpRequest, with syntax

IF HTTPRequest(asURL) = True THEN


asURL is declared as UNICODE String

displaying asURL just before calling HTTPRequest displays the correct message (UNICODE string). HTTPRequest send the message without failing. But instead of displaying the message, I get ????? in my mobile.

Copying the same message and sending it through the web browser, gets the correct UNICODE string in my mobile.

What could be wrong I'm doing ?

Hi. Without further information it is difficult to know where the problem is, but I believe the following:

a) The Url should not be in Unicode. If it has special characters use instead the UrlEncode function to prepare the Url.

b) Whoever sends the text in Unicode understands that it is the internet service you are using, not your program, so you should not send it as Unicode.

A greeting

Thanks Ruben.

The purpose is to send SMS through a web service. Need to call

[abm.gtechsms.in]நன்றி வணக்கம்

Here the message part will be in Unicode. I tried sending this with HTTPRequest, with no success.

How to accomplish this ?

Hello,

Seems the http call has changed in the above reply

//http ://abm.gtechsms.in/api/sendhttp.php?authkey=abc&mobiles=9876543210&sender=MYSELF&route=9&country=91&unicode=1&message=நன்றி வணக்கம்


Space after http has been purposefully left to show the full message. In implementation, that space is not there.

Hi. Have you tried using UrlEncode like I told you?

[help.windev.com]

It has an option to encode Unicode characters from the Url:

"encodeURLFromUnicode: URL format. The encoded text only contains characters allowed in a URL. The text to encode is a Unicode string."

Thanks Ruben,

Though help states encodeURLFromUnicode as an option, in my Windev 22 I don't get that option. I get only three options,

encodeURLFromANSI
encodeURLFromUTF8
encodeURLParameter

I didn't get the fourth option encodeURLFromUNICODE. Even if I put that option, Windev reports it as an error.
