New to this so please bear with me...

I am trying to use 'submitrequest' for the first time to pull contact from a URL. Below is what I have thus far but it doesn't appear to be working. Does anyone have experience doing this?

If I manually use the URL in a browser, it works. When i try in a program, it doesn't.

001: URL = "https://trison-dev.myxcarrier.com/ECSAPI/Labels/275926435770.txt"
002: HTTP.STATUS=''
003: TIME.OUT='3000'
004: RESP.DATA=""
005: RESP.HEADER = ""
006:
007: RESP = createRequest(URL,'GET',HTTP.HANDLER)
008: CRT "Reponse to create request = ":RESP
009: RESP = submitRequest(HTTP.HANDLER,TIME.OUT,'',RESP.HEADER,RESP.DATA,HTTP.STATUS)
010: CRT RESP
011: CRT "HTTP.STATUS - ":HTTP.STATUS

I ran the test and received the following:

:TEST.HTTPS
Reponse to create request = 0
0
HTTP.STATUS - 400ýBad Request

Daniel,

David has the hit the nail on the head for the issue - this is a secure site, There are examples in he Knowledge around handling secure requests - e.g.

    Since the URL is https shouldn't you be using createSecureRequest?

    John - This was super helpful and worked on my first try.

    Is there also examples of the method = POST? Before I GET, I am having to POST a request and this is what initiates the GET, if the request is successful.

    Again, I am new to using API and the Unidata 'submitRequest' / 'createSecureRequest' , so I appreciate all the help.

    Daniel,

    I think one of the samples provided - possibly in the XDEMO account - uses POST, otherwise there should be a worked example.

    Hopefully this helps.

    also does this help? https://community.rocketsoftware.com/question/how-to-use-post-multipartform-data-to-upload-a-file

    Also worth pointing out that this can be a good use case for Python if you have that enabled.

    Create a simple method in a Python module something like (just typed in here, so don't take as gospel)

    import http.client

    def postURL(self, host, url, someData):
          conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection(host)
          conn.request('POST',url, someData)
          r = conn.getresponse().read()
          conn.close()
          return str(r)

    then use PyCallFunction() to call it from UniBasic.
