http post from client application

[M. Voss]

Hi everybody!

 

Does anyone have any experience - or even example code - in sending http post requests to an external web application from an VA client application ? Currently, we are using VA Smalltalk 7.1.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Michael

Hello Michael,

Load the Server Smalltalk [SST] - HTTP feature and check out the application SstHttpExamples.

Hello Diane,

 

thank you for the hint on checking SST features. Unfortunately, I do not see a feature named anything like HTTP. The cloeses one I found was "z.VA: Server, WebConnection for SST V 7.5.1", which does not include any "Examples" application. Is the Server Smalltalk [SST] - HTTP feature available in an ordinary development image or would I have to set up an XD image ?

 

Thanks

Michael

Hi Michael,

Have a look at your ConfigurationMaps Browser. Do you have a Map named:
z.ST: Server Smalltalk (SST) - HTTP ?

This should be the one you want. Try loading it or getting it via the
Load/Unload Features Tool.

Hope this helps
Sebastian

I see the source of the problem.  Unfortunately, the maps that folks are suggesting you load didn't exist prior to VA 8.0.  The basic map you probably want is "Server Smalltalk - Examples V 6.0.1", but you're on your own in figuring out what prereqs to load.

Tom is correct --  for 7.0.1, load the Server, SST feature and look for the application SstHttpExamples.
