HTTPGet request – secure requests

Hi Doug, Chris,

Actually, you can. On Windows you can via IE Automation or via Kelly’s TCP Talk.

Here is how I do a getRequest via IE Automation.

Do method —-getRequest (lvURL,cvHeaderList,”,lvUserName,lvPassword,lvResponseText) Returns lvResponseCode

; getRequest Method
If sys(6)=’X’
; Use TCPTalk for Macs
Calculate pvURL as replaceall(pvURL,’ ‘,’%20’) ;; Encode Spaces
Do cvTCPTalk.$doHTTPRequest(‘GET’,pvURL,pvHeaderList,pvXML,pvUserID,pvPassword,pvResponse) Returns responseCode
Else
; Create the IE Object
Do ie6.$createobject()
If ie6.$isavailable
Set reference httpobj to ie6.$ref
Else
Do ie5.$createobject()
If ie5.$isavailable
Set reference httpobj to ie5.$ref
Else
Do ie4.$createobject()
If ie4.$isavailable
Set reference httpobj to ie4.$ref
Else
Do ie3.$createobject()
If ie3.$isavailable
Set reference httpobj to ie3.$ref
Else
Quit method con(jst(statusCode,’-3NP0′),’ ‘,statusDesc)
End If
End If
End If
End If
Do httpobj.$open(‘GET’,pvURL,kFalse)
; Make Headers
Begin reversible block
Set current list pvHeaderList
End reversible block
For each line in list from 1 to #LN step 1
Do httpobj.$setrequestheader(pvHeaderList.c1,pvHeaderList.c2)
End For
Do httpobj.$setrequestheader(‘User-Agent’,’ClienTrax’)
Do httpobj.$setrequestheader(‘Content-Length’,len(pvXML))
Do httpobj.$setrequestheader(‘Cache-Control’,’no-cache,no-store,post-check=0,pre-check=0′)
Do httpobj.$setrequestheader(‘Host’,pvURL)
If pvUserID<>”&pvPassword<>”
; Set Server Authentication
Calculate lvAuth as con(pvUserID,’:’,pvPassword)
UUEncode (lvAuth,lvEncodedAuth)
Do httpobj.$setrequestheader(‘Authorization’,con(‘Basic ‘,lvEncodedAuth))
End If
; Send Request
Do httpobj.$send(pvXML)
; Get Response
Calculate pvResponse as httpobj.$responsetext
Calculate statusDesc as httpobj.$statustext
Calculate statusCode as httpobj.$status
If 1=2
Calculate #S1 as httpobj.$getallresponseheaders
End If
; Give the memory back…
Do httpobj.$release()
Calculate responseCode as con(jst(statusCode,’-3NP0′),’ ‘,statusDesc)
End If
Quit method responseCode

hi Chris:

you can’t use https with studio 4 — doesn’t work. the feature I think was new to studio 5.
