HTTP POST from ECC 6.0 to XI

On ECC 6.0, I have an XMLstring that I need to post to an external URL. I need this to go through XI. It is actually an HTTPS post. How can this be accomplished? Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as how this would work in XI? Here is a smippet of code on ECC
CALL METHOD cl_http_client=>create
    EXPORTING
      host          = POST_HOST
      service       = '443'
      scheme        = '2'
      ssl_id        = 'ANONYM'
   proxy_host    = wf_proxy
   proxy_service = wf_port
    IMPORTING
      client        = http_client.
http_client->propertytype_logon_popup = http_client->co_disabled.
wf_user = '' .
wf_password = '' .
proxy server authentication
CALL METHOD http_client->authenticate
    EXPORTING
      proxy_authentication = 'X'
      username             = wf_user
      password             = wf_password.
CALL METHOD http_client->request->set_header_field
    EXPORTING
      name = '~request_method'
      value = 'POST'.
CALL METHOD http_client->request->set_header_field
    EXPORTING
      name = '~request_protocol'
      value = 'HTTPS/1.0'.
CALL METHOD http_client->request->set_header_field
    EXPORTING
      name = 'HOST'
      value = POST_HOST.
CALL METHOD http_client->request->set_header_field
    EXPORTING
      name = '~request_uri'
      value = L_POST_URI.
CALL METHOD http_client->request->set_header_field
    EXPORTING
      name = 'Content-Type'
      value = 'text/xml; charset=utf-8'.
CALL METHOD http_client->request->set_header_field
    EXPORTING
      name = 'Content-Length'
      value = txlen.

Hi Tony,
You need to go through multiple steps.
1) Creation of Scenario in XI ( Integration Repository)
     First create datatype which will represent the data that is to be passed to URL. Then message type, message interface, message mapping, Interface mapping.
2) Creation of Directory scenario ( Integration Directory)
     Need to create Communication channel using either SOAP adapter or HTTP adapter as you need to pass the data to url.
3) Proxy:
   Once you create first step then structure will be available in proxy ( SPROXY transaction) . There you will need to call method for outbound proxy.
For above mentioned steps you can search in SDN which will guide you to multiple helping thread.

Http post from an application with file attachment

Hi ! I didn't know where else to post this message...
I'm trying to make a HTTP POST from an application and upload a file with it. I have no problems with the posting, just that I haven't got any ideas how to get the file uploaded as well. I've been reading loads of examples regarding the topic, and searching older posts the forum here, without any help.
Here's the method i'm using:
               // open connections
              URL url = new URL ("TheURL");
               URLConnection urlConn = url.openConnection();
                          // We do input & output, without caching
               urlConn.setDoInput (true);
               urlConn.setDoOutput (true);
               urlConn.setUseCaches (false);
                          // multipart/form-data because we want to upload a file
                 urlConn.setRequestProperty ("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data");
              // Open output stream
                 DataOutputStream printout = new DataOutputStream (urlConn.getOutputStream ());
              // Set the actual content
                 String content = "upfile=" + System.getProperty("user.dir") + "\\file.ext&";
                   content += "other_key-value_pairs";
              // write the data to stream, and flush it.
                 printout.writeBytes (URLEncoder.encode(content));
               printout.flush ();
               printout.close ();
               // Get the response.
                 DataInputStream input = new DataInputStream (urlConn.getInputStream());
               FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream("postto.txt");
               String str;
                 BufferedReader bufr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(input));
              // Write response to outputfile
                 while (null != ((str = bufr.readLine()))) {
                     if (str.length() >0) {
                     fos.write(str.getBytes());
                     fos.write(new String("\n").getBytes());
               input.close ();Now, the response here I get from the url i'm posting to is "Failure, no data-file". I've tried many diff methods of writing the file to the stream, but always get the same result.
I need to file attached like it would be when using a HTML form's <input type="file">.
Please help ! This is getting really urgent !

String content = "upfile=" + System.getProperty("user.dir") + "\\file.ext&";
content += "other_key-value_pairs";
printout.writeBytes (URLEncoder.encode(content));
printout.flush ();
printout.close ();Actually, what this does is create a request like:
GET /path/to/file/script.language?upfile=/home/user/file.ext&other=params HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
-- And other HTTP params --
The file is not actually appended to the request.
I really don't know how Java handles the file upload, but you could do it by hand, like so:
public static void doFileUpload(String url, String filename, Hashtable params) throws IOException {
    // Construct the request
    String boundary = "----------------------mUlTiPaRtBoUnDaRy";
    String request_head = "POST " + url + " HTTP/1.0\r\n" +
                                     "Content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary + "\r\n";
    String request_body = boundary + "\r\n\r\nContent-disposition: form-data; name=\"upload\"" +
                                     "\r\n\r\n";
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(filename)));
    int b = -1;
    while((b = in.read()) != -1) {
         request_body += (char)b;
    in.close();
    Enumeration keys = params.keys();
    while(keys.hasMoreElements()) {
        String key = keys.nextElement();
        requst_body += "\r\n" + boundary + "\r\n\r\nContent-type: form-data; name=\"key\"\r\n" +
                                (String)params.get(key);
    request_body += "\r\n" + boundary + "--\r\n";
    int length = request_head.length() + request_body.length() + "Content-length: \r\n";
    String req_length = "Content-length: " + (length + new String("" + length).length()) + "\r\n";
    Socket socket = new Socket(url,80);
    PrintStream stream = socket.getOutputStream();
    stream.print(request_head + req_length + req_body);
    // And now an option to read the response, I will omit that...
}Note: I have not tested this code, just wrote it up out of memory. If it does not work, it will propably need some small fixes.

Not able to send message - http post from MII 12.1.4.53 to PI 7.1

Hi ,
Question
u2022     Is there any configuration to set up in MII and PI to do posting to PI as a web service? If YES, please guide.
Situation
u2022     We are with MII version 12.1.4.53 and trying to send message through http post to PI 7.1 server.
u2022     We are getting the following error HTTP 500 Internal Error Issue.
u2022     However we are able to post messages from SOAPUI through the same URL and with the MII system which is running on version 12.1.6.91 and 12.1.9.116
u2022     HTTP Response received as below points to PI Configuration issue.
Error
    <SOAP:Fault>
      <faultcode>SOAP:Server</faultcode>
      <faultstring>Server Error</faultstring>
      <detail>
        <s:SystemError xmlns:s="http://sap.com/xi/WebService/xi2.0">

thanks

Hi Anudeep,
The question isNOT ABOUT the format of the URL which MII should use.
Using the same URL we are able to post the message from other MII versions with in the landscape( MII version 12.1.6 and MII version12.1.9) and through SOAP UI.
500 Internal server error Problem arises when the message is sent through the same URL from MII 12,1.4 Build(53) to PI 7.1 ( we tried https Post, XI Webservice, WebService action blocks)
Question:
Are thre any configuration settings specific to MII version12.1.4 Build 53 which needds to be set in MII to communicate to PI 7.1.
Thanks
Rajesh

Manual HTTP POST from ABAP

I'm trying to use a kind of botched web service implementation that doesn't come with a WSDL file - so, no generated proxy for me to use. It also needs me to send an XML file via an HTTP POST - not in a SOAP envelope. This presents a problem for me - understandably, this isn't part of WebAS 6.40's web services stuff.
Does anyone know of a way of manually posting something via HTTP in ABAP? I'm sure there must be some function module or class that exposes that functionality - I just can't find it! Any ideas anyone?

HTTP POST from SAP to an external server

Experts.
I have a XML file encased in MIME and SOAP format. Essentially it's a .xml file.
I need to post this to an external server (have the IP address and logon credentials) using http post functionality.
Can this be accomplished in SAP using ABAP, Function module? I need to post the entire file.
If anyone has done this, can you please post the steps needed?
Thank you so much.
Raj

Hi Raj,
a good starting point for you would be the SAP Help. [Here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1f/93163f9959a808e10000000a114084/frameset.htm] is some sample code of how to make a HTTP call from ABAP.
Cheers

Invoking http post from BPEL is not passing parameters

Hi,
I have a simple BPEL process where I am trying to send an xml string in a request
parameter to a servlet. Servlet is pretty simple. It just prints the request parameters and returns. But problem is that I am not getting any request

In the bpel you can make a http-binding instead of the default soap-binding.
Maybe this can help you making the call to the servlet/jsp.

HTTP post from ABAP using Object Oriented method

Hi ,
I want to call HTTP from ABAP. I came to know that using classes & objects is the best way to fulfill it.
Interface:
xml_document type ref to cl_xml_document
method post_xml_document.
data: client type ref to if_http_client,
xml_response type ref to cl_xml_document.
data: xml_string type string,
xml_xstring type xstring.
data: zsubrc type sy-subrc.
cl_http_client=>create_by_url( exporting url = 'http://www.example.com/post-url.xml' importing client = client exceptions others = 1 ).
client->request->set_header_field( exporting name = '~request_method' value = 'POST' ).
client->request->set_header_field( exporting name = '~server_protocol' value = 'HTTP/1.1' ).
client->request->set_header_field( exporting name = 'Content-Type' value = 'text/xml' ).
xml_document->render_2_string( exporting pretty_print = 'X' importing stream = xml_string ).
client->request->set_cdata( exporting data = xml_string offset = 0 ).
client->authenticate( exporting proxy_authentication = space username = 'username' password = 'password' ).
client->send( exceptions http_communication_failure = 1 http_invalid_state = 2 ).
client->receive( exceptions http_communication_failure = 1 http_invalid_state = 2 http_processing_failed = 3 ).
xml_xstring = client->response->get_data( ).
zsubrc = xml_response->parse_xstring( stream = xml_xstring ).
endmethod.
Above code can be used to do my work.
Apart from the code in ABAP, what are the configurational setting that we need to do ?
Thanks,
Shivaa..

Thats nonsense, create_by_url does not need an rfc connection. TA SICF is correct.

How to handle HTTP-POST encrypted data for ECC Using proxy or RFC

I have a scenario HTTP-POST ->PI->ECC.sender is HTTP Post send encrypted data i need to handle the data and stored in to SAP ECC with out decrypt using PI .what should i take for receiver can i use inbound proxy or RFC and how can handle the encrypted data for decrypt.
Regards
Ravi

1. my sender is HTTP POST . what should i configure in sender communication channel in SAP PI .like SOAP or HTTP .What are the parameters i need to pass .
>>>
If you are on PI 7.3 and above, configure the HTTP AAE adapter - Configuring the Java HTTP Adapter on the Sender Channel - Advanced Adapter Engine - SAP Library
2.while using inbound proxy for encrypted data i need store the data in to table , the same proxy can i call another outbound service for decrypt same data.
>>>>
Yes you can always a proxy within a proxy.

HTTP post data from the Oracle database to another web server

Hi ,
I have searched the forum and the net on this. And yes I have followed the links
http://awads.net/wp/2005/11/30/http-post-from-inside-oracle/
http://manib.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/utl_http/
and Eddie Awad's Blog on the same topic. I was successful in calling the servlet but I keep getting errors.
I am using Oracle 10 g and My servlet is part of a ADF BC JSF application.
My requirement is that I have blob table in another DB and our Oracle Forms application based on another DB has to view the documents . Viewing blobs over dblinks is not possible. So Option 1 is to call a procedure passing the doc_blob_id parameter and call the web server passing the parameters.
The errors I am getting is:
First the parameters passed returned null. and
2. Since my servlet directly downloads the document on the response outputStream, gives this error.
'com.evermind.server.http.HttpIOException: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine'
Any help please. I am running out of time.
Thanks

You can use remote LOBs via a database link. However, you cannot use a local LOB variable (called a LOB <i>locator</i>) to reference a remote LOB. A LOB variable/locator is a pointer - that pointer cannot reference a LOB that resides on a remote server. So simply do not use a LOB variable locally as it cannot reference a remote LOB.
Instead provide a remote interface that can deal with that LOB remotely, dereference that pointer on the remote system, and pass the actual contents being pointed at, to the local database.
The following demonstrates the basic approach. How one designs and implements the actual remote interface, need to be decided taking existing requirements into consideration. I simply used a very basic wrapper function.

SQL> The concern is the size of the LOB. It does not always make sense to access the entire LOB in the database. What if that LOB is a 100GB in size? Irrespective of how you do it, selecting that LOB column from that table will require a 100GB of data to be transferred from the database to your client.
So you need to decide WHY you want the LOB on the client (which will be the local PL/SQL code in case of dealing with a LOB on a remote database)? Do you need the entire LOB? Do you need a specific piece from it? Do you need the database to first parse that LOB into a more structured data struct and then pass specific information from that struct to you? Etc.
The bottom line however is that you can use remote LOBs. Simply that you cannot use a local pointer variable to point and dereference a remote LOB.

Using SSL Module to Encrypt HTTP post to external Server

I would like to know if it's possible for a CSM with its SSL module to receive an HTTP POST from our internal web servers, encrypt that POST w/ SSL, and finally to forward the newly created SSL transmission to a remote external SSL server? If it is possible, is this good practice or is it better to let the web server do the encryption?

this is possible.
It is good practice if you do not want to overload your server with the heavy task of encryption/decryption.
If your server is very powerfull and far from being used to its maximum capacity, you can do it on the server.
Another advantage of using an SSL module is that the CSM will see your request in clear text and can therefore perform so *smart* loadbalancing before it gets encrypted by the SSL module.
[ie: cookie stickyness, url hashing, ...]

Query regarding encoding/decoding of XML over HTTP Post request

Hello,
I am working on a project where I need to put SMS inside XML and
eventually transfer this XML via HTTP post from/to server/client.
Assuming the SMS to be 7-bit text the XML may look something like
<?xml+version="1.0"?>
<SMS
TESTMESSAGE
</SMS>
This XML when encoded in a HTML post may look something like
http://<IP Address>:<port>/
POST /MessageReceiver.jsp HTTP/1.0
Host: www.SomeHost.net
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 90
xmlMsg=%3C%3Fxml+version%3D%221.0%22%3F%3E%0D%0A%3CSMS%0D%0A%09TESTMESSAGE0D%0A%3C%2FSMS%3E
This xml is UTF-8 (7-bit ASCII) by default since no encoding format has been specified.
My question - how will the encoding of xml change to - when 8 bit binary data
is transferred via xml.
for e.g.
<?xml+version="1.0"?>
<SMS
<!!!!!BINARY DATA!!!!!>
</SMS>
for such a file how/what shld the encoding be set to.
Further my spec-states the following.
"The content of the XML must respect the encoding. Thus a SMS
containing typically french characters must use ISO-8859-1 encoding"
"This code needs to work with both UTF-8 and UTF-16 standards (ASCII and Unicode). Because of this the parsing code should work internally with UTF-16 and translate up/down to/from UTF-8 (ASCII) only when dealing with the basic HTTP."
could anyone clarify this for me.

The first thing you need to do is clear up some fundamental misconceptions about character encodings. UTF-8 is not the same thing as "7-bit ASCII", and UTF-16 is not the same as "Unicode". Anyway, you're making this a lot more difficult than it needs to be. Just use UTF-8 to encode and decode all messages; it can handle all the characters from any language you're likely to run into.

HTTP Post Error

          I am using WebLogic Server 7.0 SP1 with the iPlanet 4.1 WebLogic Plugin. When
          I do a HTTP Post from my java applet using URLConnection, I am getting the following
          error from the plugin:
          [20/May/2003:11:19:13] failure ( 860): for host 199.228.131.177 trying to POST
          /WebLogicServer/DSSServer/DSSServlet, wl-proxy reports: IO error reading client
          POST data at line
          [20/May/2003:11:19:13] failure ( 860): for host 199.228.131.177 trying to POST
          /WebLogicServer/DSSServer/DSSServlet, wl-proxy reports: exception occurred: 'READ_ERROR
          [os error=0, line 534 of proxy.cpp]: reading client POST data failed'
          The applet code is as follows:
          URLConnection con = toFetch.openConnection();
          con.setDoInput(true);
          con.setDoOutput(true);
          con.setDefaultUseCaches(false);
          con.setUseCaches(false);
          con.setRequestProperty("Accept","text/html");
          con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
          prout = new DataOutputStream (con.getOutputStream ());
          prout.writeBytes(postdata);
          prout.flush();
          prout.close();
          The iPlanet access log shows a POST request was received but when the request
          is proxied to the WebLogic plugin, the error occurs. I can't tell if this is
          a HTTP header problem or a data problem.
          Any help would be greatly appreciated.
          Thanks,
          Ken


I have exactly the same problem when using a URLConnection to post

HTTP POST using JSP

Is it possible to submit a data using HTTP POST from a JSP. In a JSP I am generating a XML. For example JSP URL is http://www.test/xml.jsp
In the xml.jsp:-
<test>
<test1>
Testing 1
</test1>
<test2>
Testing 2
</test2>
</test>
When I call http://www.test/xml.jsp, I should receive the content in the xml.jsp as a HTTP POST. Is this possible using JSP or do I have to use only servlet?
Thanks

Hi,
yes, it's possible to submit data from JSP using POST method.
It is even possible to do it from HTML. Set <form method="post"...>, that's all. You can't submit data using POST by typing any specific address etc. in Your browser, only GET parameters can be sent in such a way.
