Which http method to use- get or post???

hi all.........
i m trying 2 proceed URLs using httpclient with GetMethod & PostMethod. But i m confuse about that at which time which method i hav 2 use- getor post??
The whole implementation of my code is done using j2se.
It's so important part of my project. So plz help me...

Random question to ask in these forums, you can do a simple google seach to find the difference between Get and Post.
Basically Get will parse information at the end of your address, such data will be made public to see.
e.g. www.mel.com?name=mel
Post on the other hand stores the data inside the body of the html document, upon more things.
Mel

How to detect which http server is used ?

Hello
I need a simple method to determine which http server is used on an existing APEX installation, amongst the 3 possible methods.
Thanx

In most cases its the URL that hints at what is behind the scenes.
If you /pls/apex in all probability its Oracle HTTP Server with ModPLSQL
If you see <hist>:8080 then chances are its EPG or OC4J
If you see someother port, but not /pls/apex then chances are its ApexListener.
A more accurate way is to run the command below from within Apex , either an application or SQLWorkshop
select owa_util.GET_CGI_ENV('SERVER_SOFTWARE') from dualEPG Return Oracle Embedded PL/SQL Gateway/10.2.0.1.0 on XE
Apex-Listener returns Mod-Apex

Is the CO using GET or POST

Hi All,
One OAF concept question I have is : How can we tell by seeing a CO code , whether it uses a GET or POST method of submitting.
Thanks,
Srikanth

Hi Srikant.
Assuming the PR is being called by GET , do you mean to say that the page form values will be passed as through URL.YES.
Or a decision is taken at run time on the method based on the magnitude of form valuesMost probably NO. It will depend on browser whether it crashes or sends data or shows error message, IF the data is more than its CAPASITY.
URL specification itself does not put any length restrictions, but length restriction are put by browser and server. For ex, IE may be having max url size to 2k(Please confirm by googling exact lenghth for individual browser). Similar restriction is put by server also.
However in case of PUT, data is sent in header of packet, hence its size is usually much more larger,(Sufficient for near most of the cases)
So as much I know. No matter what the size of data is, in case of GET, its PR which is called. In case of POST, Its PFR.
More over.A form submit can be done by both GET AND POST. However OAF uses POST By default for form submission.
So again, even if data is submitted by GET, Its PR.AND if data is submitted by POST, its PFR which will be executed.
Decision of method (PF or PFR) is done by getting method type (GET OR POST).
Method type(GET or POST) is retrieved from HTTP header. (I did not find it documented anywhere that OAF gets method information from HTTP header, but there does not seems any other way possible.)
By the way Srikanth, why this doubt came to you that decision might be taken at runtime for large data submissions?

Passing Parameter using GET or Post in J2ME

I have a problem passing parameter which has space between character to Servlet through GET or POST method. I am using HttpConnection. Which works properly whenever i sending data without space, else it shows Exception for space in URL.
If i use trim method which is Client side scrpiting then i am not able to update the database which takes input from the J2ME midlet.
Can any1 help me how to pass the parameter with space.

Hi Mark,
The "number" format relies on the formats supported by the JS
native Number object. We don't actually do any number parsing
ourselves in Spry. One workaround, if you need things to sort
properly, is to have one column that is formatted european numbers,
and one column that is actually supported by the Number object. You
can create this custom column by using a filter:
function DataFilter(ds, row, rowIndex)
row["@premieNumber"] = new
Number(row["@premieNumber"].replace(/,/, "."));
return row;
Regarding the Request() object and your setURL() call ... the
3rd arg to setURL is optional, and only necessary if you are going
to use POST, or specify some header to send. If you do use post or
want to send some specific header, the 3rd arg just has to be an
object with only whatever options you want to specify, you don't
have to specify them all ... the options names exactly match the
fields defined in a Spry.Utils.loadURL.Request object.
We do have a utility class that gathers all of the input
values in a form. You will find it in Spry 1.6 in SpryUtils.js. The
name of the function to call is:
var str = Spry.Utils.extractParamsFromForm(form, elements);
The 2nd arg is optional, and allows you to specify what
element values you want to retrieve. If it is not specified, it
gets all values in the form.

CS3 - Cropping tool: Which reduction method is used?

When I use the Cropping Tool to crop and reduce a large image to, say 400 x 300, which "reduction method" does the tool use?
In "Image Size", it gives options for Bicubic, Bicubic Sharper, etc etc
Is there a place to set the method for the Cropping Tool?
Thanks

Thanks.
Okay, I've got it:
There is a setting in Prefs which controls the method, but in the "Image..." command, you get a chance to temporarily override the Prefs.
Setting the method "Image..." does NOT change the default method set in Prefs.
Cheers.

Which update method to use???

Hi all,
Our client has an average of 1000 sales orders per day.
Which update method will be the best for such a scenario and why?
Please suggest.
Cheers
Jayashree

Obviously Delta Update.
Whenever you have a regular postings in the source system, it is always advised to go for Delta update instead of Full update.
If you go for Full update, day-by-day the number of records will increase and yr data load performance will be badly affected.
In case of Delta, only the changes will be captured and load perofrmance will be consistent.

HTTP Response Status Codes: GET (retrieve), POST (create), PUT (modify), and DELETE (REST, Bulk, Any API)

Many of us, who are starters, starting to wonder when reading any API documentations or starting out with your first program built to make any of the API calls, what do all error codes means, when I get many different types of response from running the program/script. The only reason I thought about sharing this is because I know how motivation plays a key role when dealing with Eloqua platform and building components on top. This extends the functionality beyond what is already out of the box.
I put together a table that explains these in details. I hope you can benefit in resolving issues as you venture in your journeys. This is a very common chart that can be seen across many platform REST APIs. Idea was to have it here because the audience are not always the same.

Which EAP Method to Use?

Hi.
We are looking to implement 802.1x on our Wireless Network. I need to support Windows XP and above, Apple Macs (maybe iPhones, etc) and some Linux.
I would have liked to have used PEAP with EAP-MSCHAPv2, however I am stuck with ACS 4.2 backended into LDAP (Oracle IDM) and this won't support MSCHAPv2.
We don't really want to spend anything on supplicants, so I'd like to know what method would be best for the spread of clients we have to support.
Thanks
Matthew

Matthew:
I think you knew the answer, that is why you mentioned that you don't wana spend anything on the client side
Unfortunately, you will need to use EAP-GTC (Generic Token Card) method in order to work with LDAP integrated withradius server.
Cisco PEAP uses EAP-GTC although this only works in wireless environment and Microsoft PEAP uses EAP-MSCHAPv2.
Acs supports both the methods so only option here is to use GTC supplicant on the client side.
In order to enable EAP-GTC, you can use either one of them:
Cisco350card
Cisco ACU utility

Disable HTTP Methods for SharePoint site

Hi,
Our firewall is reporting that someone is trying to use HTTP OPTIONS Method to exploit our SharePoint server.
I want to know which HTTP methods are required by SharePoint 2010 so that i can disable other HTTP methods to increase security.
I am trying to follow recommendations from Open Web Application Security Project.
https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Test_HTTP_Methods_(OTG-CONFIG-006)
Regards, Muhammad Usman Azmat

Verbs such as OPTIONS will require authentication to be of any use. If you disable OPTIONS, you'll likely run into various issues using SharePoint, and here is an older example (that will likely apply even today):
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsofficedeveloper/archive/2008/10/03/sharepoint-cisco-css-switch-issue.aspx
At any rate, changing IIS settings at the Web Application IIS site level, with the exception of IIS Site Bindings where appropriate, is highly discouraged.

I got the soluntion
we just need to change the binding in WSDL file from Soap to HTTP.
First of all add three namespaces in wsdl file
xmlns:mime="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/mime/"
xmlns:http="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/http/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
Then change the Request msg from element type to string type like below
<message name="UserLoggOffRequestMessage">
<part name="UserId" type="xsd:string"/> (add this one))
(remove this one)
</message>
Then change the binding
<binding name="UserLoggOffBinding" type="client:UserLoggOff">
<http:binding verb="GET"/>
<operation name="process">
<http:operation location="/process"/>
<http:urlEncoded/>
<output>
<mime:mimeString part="Body"/>
</output>
</operation>
</binding>
Then do some changes in service tag . we need to do the changes in location only.
we need to remove orabpel from location and add httpbinding
http://infva04718.vshodc.lntinfotech.com:8888/*orabpel*/MobileApplication/UserLoggOff/1.0
http://infva04718.vshodc.lntinfotech.com:8888/*httpbinding*/MobileApplication/UserLoggOff/1.0
do like following
<service name="UserLoggOff">
<port name="UserLoggOffPort" binding="client:UserLoggOffBinding">
<http:address location="http://infva04718.vshodc.lntinfotech.com:8888/httpbinding/MobileApplication/UserLoggOff/1.0"/>
</port>
</service>
Then deploy the process then u can invoke this
http://infva04718.vshodc.lntinfotech.com:8888/httpbinding/MobileApplication/UserLoggOff/process?UserId=a1
here process is name of process u want to invoke

HTTPS using a Multipart Post

I have been given a new requirement to send a zipped file(s) to a client using HTTPS using a Multipart Post.
I have found an example...
DECLARE
req   utl_http.req;
resp utl_http.resp;
value VARCHAR2(1024);
BEGIN
req := utl_http.begin_request('http://www.psoug.org');
resp := utl_http.get_response(req);
LOOP
    utl_http.read_line(resp, value, TRUE);
    dbms_output.put_line(value);
END LOOP;
utl_http.end_response(resp);
EXCEPTION
WHEN utl_http.end_of_body THEN
    utl_http.end_response(resp);
END;Which obviously returns and displays the HTML content of the URL, however we need to post zipped files in the content. We have been told by someone at Oracle that we can use the UTL_HTTP package to do this but when i search for this all i find is Java.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where to start and any code examples would be a great help, i tried posting this in the SQL / PLSQL forum but with no success..
Thanks in advance
Graham.

Hi:
This is tricky one and I have to say that there is not a lot around about it.
The example you have shown is for UTL_HTTP and while you are on the right track, you want HTTPS and that requires, in addition to what you, the use of the Oracle Wallet. The wallet has to be setup on your machine and referenced in your code. Additionally, you need to be quite clear about the data that is being expected by the remote system to which you are sending the POST request.
Here is a code example that I have tried to explain a bit for you. Obviously my code is doing something quite different from what you require but the methodology will be similar:
+++++++++++++++++++++++
create or replace
PROCEDURE ABS_MSG_API
(cab IN VARCHAR2,
booking_ref IN NUMBER)
AS
l_cab VARCHAR2(10);
l_booking_ref NUMBER;
l_uuid VARCHAR2(50);
l_answer integer;
req utl_http.req;
resp utl_http.resp;
value clob;
listing VARCHAR2(400);
BEGIN
l_cab := cab;
l_booking_ref := booking_ref;
listing := 'https://........<site address>;
/* next you must identify the location of your wallet */
utl_http.set_wallet('file:C:\Documents and Settings\administrator\ORACLE\WALLETS','redy2go4it');
utl_http.set_transfer_timeout(60);
dbms_output.put_line(listing);
/* next we start the request. Though a GET here, a POST is the same thing */
req := utl_http.begin_request(listing,'GET','HTTP/1.1');
/* in my case a username and password are passed - think of this at your POST parameters */
utl_http.set_header(req,'Username',xxxx);
utl_http.set_header(req,'Password',xxxxx);
utl_http.set_header(req,'Version','99.99.99');
/* the rest is much like your code already, with some debug capability */
resp := utl_http.get_response(req);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Request Method....'||req.METHOD);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('HTTP Response Status Code: ' || resp.status_code);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('HTTP Response Reason Phrase: ' || resp.reason_phrase);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('HTTP Response Version: ' || resp.http_version);
LOOP
utl_http.read_line(resp, value, TRUE);
l_answer := instr(value,'uuid',1,1);
IF l_answer > 0 THEN
l_uuid := substr(value,l_answer+6,36);
dbms_output.put_line('The string is.....'||l_uuid);
END IF;
IF l_answer > 0 THEN
send_dt_message(l_uuid,l_cab,l_booking_ref);
EXIT;
END IF;
END LOOP;
utl_http.end_response(resp);
EXCEPTION
WHEN utl_http.end_of_body THEN
utl_http.end_response(resp);
l_answer := instr(value,'uuid',1,1);
dbms_output.put_line('The value is......'||l_answer);
END ABS_MSG_API;
When you submit a POST, all of the parameters are passed as part of the header. You must determine exactly the information being expected by the remote system.
You can find further information is you search for HTTPS on Ask Tom. There is some useful stuff there.
I use UTL_HTTP for HTTPS requrests all the time. As I said, it is a bit tricky at first, but the key is the Oracle Wallet and then reading the UTL_HTTP documentation that comes on your DB media disc under PLSQL Packaged Procedures.
I hope this helps.

Problems using GET method in JSP

Hi,
I had some problems using GET method in JSP.
I'm using Apache web server 1.3 and Tomcat 3.3.1 in windows 2000.
And I'm using language English and Korean.
When I send messages using POST method, all is good
But when I send message using GET method, English is good, but Korean is not good.
I tried to encode using
URLEncode.encode(str, "UTF-8")
and decoding it using
URLDecode.decode(request.getParameter(tag), "UTF-8")
but it didn't work.
How can I receive request including Korean using GET method in JSP?
If anyone have solutions, please let me know.
thanks.

thanks.This problem appears, when one use UTF-16 encoding in JSP - am I right?
If so there are two solutions:
1) Temporary: Use "UTF-8" - or any other 8 bit encoding scheme and
encode Korean symbols with "&1234;" kind of escapes - though it
may not work
2) Absolute: get my piece of code, which I have managed to write
just a month ago resolving absolutely similar problem with UTF-16
in code using Chinese/Russian/English encodings
But I wouldn't say that it's costs 10 DDs :) - it's much more
expensive... So try 1st variant if it wouldn't help - let me know.
I'll figure :)
