Java and WebServices No#2

Hi,
After contacting PCSoft, it seems like Java apps (in WX26) do not support all of WXs WebService functionality.
Some of the documentation is incorrect _AND_ Java apps are even behind Linux WX apps in supporting WebServices.

My main problem is that the httpRequest VARIABLE is NOT available in WD Java apps - so how(?) do I translate the following WINDEV 26 Windows code to something that works with the old plain HTTPRequest FUNCTION (available for Java):

cMyRequest is restRequest
cMyRequest..URL = myURL
cMyRequest..Method = httpGet
cMyRequest..Header["user-id"] = p_sUser
cMyRequest..Header["password-Key"] = p_sPassword
cMyResponse is restResponse = RESTSend(cMyRequest)

to something that uses ONLY the HTTPRequest FUNCTION ...

My difficulties are with passing the headers with the HTTPRequest FUNCTION

that's an easy one

that is the syntax from the help:

<Result> = HTTPRequest(<URL to contact> [, <User agent> [, <Additional HTTP header> [, <Message to send> [, <Message type> [, <Username> [, <Password>]]]]]])

headers are passed as a string in the 3rd parameter...

The ONLY trick is that each line has to be sparated from the next one by a CR, INCLUDING THE LAST ONE (ie you need a string ending with a CR)

So, in your example:
asMyHeaders is ansi string="user-id = "+p_sUser+cr+"password-Key="+ p_sPassword+cr

and you put asMyHeaders as 3rd parameter

Hi Argus,

I will check to see if the CR trick makes it work ..
thanks
