Consuming a Restful Web Service in Fivewin.

[byron.hopp]

Second post, I was thinking I didn't state my question clearly.

I would think that working with restful web services would be very popular to fivewin programmers.
Is anybody doing this.

I have been playing around with WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1 but this seems old.
The SetCredentials doesn't work past Windows XP.

This seems like it would be the pathway to Web Based Win-Forms Applications.
Is this possible right now in Fivewin, or does something need to be developed.

Thanks,

Byron ...

I know this much that there are some programmers who used Fivewin successfully with REST.
I also understand FWH as such is adequate for this without any external libs.
Those programmers with experience in this subject may be able to throw more light on this.

Code: Select all  Expand view

  Try
        oOle := CreateObject( 'MSXML2.XMLHTTP' )
    Catch
        oOle := CreateObject( 'Microsoft.XMLHTTP' )
    End
    oOle:Open( 'GET', "YourURL", .f. )
   
    oOle:SetRequestHeader( "Content-Type","application/json") /* if its json*/

    oOle:SetRequestHeader( "Authorization","YourAuthorization Key")
   
    oOle:Send( cJson )
    SysRefresh()
   cRet := oOle:ResponseBody /* Result from the Server*/

It will depend on the RESTful service that you are going to use. For eg the parameters that it expects in the header. Depending on that you may have to use the appropriate value in the oOle:SetRequestHeader()

Hope it is clear.

Thank you both for the response.
I will start messing around with the example.
