REST api on https Protocol

[Milan Mehta]

Dear All,

I need to use REST api on https Protocol. 

I have never used it before. 

Can someone guide or give us small working example ? 

I am sure many of you must be using it. I need to upload and download JSON file using API.

TIA

Milan.

Those are 2 very different animals.

JSON uploading / calling can be done independently of the url format of protocoll.

Here you have 3 problems to solve:

1) url decoding on server side, conforming on client side.

2) handling of ssl autentication in your comms.

3) json coding/decoding.

Dear Angel,

Of the 3 problems you mentioned, we have already handled Json Coding / Decoding part.

I need to take up the first two.

Kindly guide.

TIA

Milan.

Part 1 is fairly easy: Just separate your url using / as delimiter

eg: assume this call:   https://www.mysite.com/myroutine/param1/param2/paramN

Pretty easy huh ?

Hi Milan,

Do you need:

1. Build your REST server with Harbour

2. Build your clients with Harbour

In case of 1. :

If you need build your REST server with Harbour then check the Harbor contrib for an

https server at https://github.com/vszakats/harbour-core/tree/master/contrib/hbhttpd,

it has already a simple example on how to build your own eshop, with login access,

list of products and your cart, simple and elegant by Mindaugas Kavaliuskas.

In case of 2. ; you can check some examples of using CURL ( contrib/hbcurl ), or you

can build your own using SSL / TCP Harbour libs, I don't have an example of it.

I've already made small modifications to the original contrib/httpd which allows to

make some additional configurations like set supported methods from client, change

the original init/end tokens to pass values from Harbour to html templates ( AngularJS

uses {{ / }} as init/end token separators for html evaluation and pass additional info

to headers to allow CORS without additional tools o libraries.

It already has a example to serve as HTTP REST provider for the AngularJS quick start

tutorial at:

https://angular.io/guide/quickstart

this Harbour HTTP REST example is at:

https://github.com/tfonrouge/harbour-vszakats/blob/master/contrib/hbhttpd/examples/angularHeroesHTTP.prg

HTH,

best regards,

Teo
