Send multipart/form-data when calling API via OPENROAD

[Jan]

Hi,

Good day.

I'm trying to call an API via OPENROAD client using url connection.

I was able to send a POST request when the content-type is application/json. but, how do i send a POST request when sending a multipart/form-data

here's my current code:

DECLARE
    urlc = UrlConnection;
    rstr = StringObject;
rv = INTEGER NOT NULL;
arr = array of stringobject;
str = stringobject;


ENDDECLARE
{



str.value = '{"from":"email",'+
'"subject":"sample",'+
'"text":"sample2"' +
'"to":"email"'+
'}';

arr[1].value = 'Authorization: App xxxxx';
arr[2].value = 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=--???--';

    urlc.SetOption(option = CURLOPT_URL,
        value = 'url');
       
    urlc.SetOption(option = CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, value = FALSE);
    urlc.SetOption(option = CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
        value = str.value
);

urlc.SetOption(option = CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, value = 'POST');

    urlc.SetOption(option = CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
      value = arr);
   
    urlc.OutputObject = rstr;
rv = urlc.Perform();
    IF urlc.Perform() = ER_OK THEN
        CurExec.Trace(string = urlc.OutputObject);
    ELSE
        CurExec.Trace(text = urlc.Errortext);
    ENDIF;
}

Can anybody help me?, I'm fairly new to using URLC on Openroad.

Thank you.

Regards,

Edmond

I fear we all are, well apart from the author….

 

I do not have a specific answer for you here, but I am in the same boat working out how to apply OAuth2.0 security features to API calls.

 

I found that by searching out answers to my questions in curl I was able to reverse engineer the solution.

 

Also a product called Postman has been a help as well, in that I can get the curl syntax for a call after working through its GUI.

 

I think the OpenROAD manuals would benefit from telling you what the curl command line option is for all those ‘options’ to speed things up.

 

e.g. CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER is -k

 

I am still pondering the ‘info’ section to see if I can get it to give me a fully formed command line curl command post-perform (hint hint)

 

So I would disappear down the rabbit hole that starts with things like this:

Good luck, and please share.

 

Cheers
