Post To Http

[willie53]

I know there are 3 variables that can receive information back from a post..
> If the function succeeds, the %_SB_ERRORCODE% return value is zero.
> If the function succeeds, the %_SB_RETURN% variable value holds the server response.
> If the function succeeds, the %_SB_RETURNEX% variable value holds the complete HTTP response.
> If the function fails, the return value is nonzero.

But no matter what I send back, it never shows up in the returnex..
I tried xml format, strings, in the header, body.. nothing seems to work..

What's the secret to received the response back ? how does my server send it ?

Thanks

Hello,

I'll answer your question with an example later today or tomorrow.

Hello,

I think I know where you are coming from. As I understand it, you do not only want the HTTP header response (that is what %_SB_RETURNEX% holds) but you would like to retrieve the HTTP contents, right?

For example, the following POST method:

http://www.cs.tut.fi/cgi-bin/run/~jk...lt.cgi?m=4&n=9

The server returns (HTTP contents):

"Multiplication results
The product of 4 and 9 is 36"

In the current SB81, you can only retrieve the HTTP header without the contents.

But we have changed it now in our latest internal version so you can retrieve the contents in the %_SB_RETURN% runtime variable. Please see the attached screenshot. The left dialog can't retrieve the HTTP contents, the right dialog (compiled with the latest internal SB version) holds the server contents response (#2).

Would this help in your case?

This build #4399 supports the new HTTP contents function.
