I've been successfully using Delphi 2010 to make an http get requests, but for one service that expects a parameter called 'xml' the request fails with a 'HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request' error.
I notice that calling the same service and omitting the 'xml' parameter works.
I have tried the following with no success:
HttpGet('http://localhost/Service/Messaging.svc/SendReports/PDF?xml=<?xml version="1.0"?><email><message><to>email@internal.com</to><from>from@internal.com</from></message></email>&id=42&profile=A1');
...
function TReportingFrame.HttpGet(const url: string): string;
var
responseStream : TMemoryStream;
html: string;
HTTP: TIdHTTP;
begin
try
try
responseStream := TMemoryStream.Create;
HTTP := TIdHTTP.Create(nil);
HTTP.OnWork:= HttpWork;
HTTP.Request.ContentType := 'text/xml; charset=utf-8';
HTTP.Request.ContentEncoding := 'utf-8';
HTTP.HTTPOptions := [hoForceEncodeParams];
HTTP.Request.CharSet := 'utf-8';
HTTP.Get(url, responseStream);
SetString(html, PAnsiChar(responseStream.Memory), responseStream.Size);
result := html;
except
on E: Exception do
Global.LogError(E, 'ProcessHttpRequest');
end;
finally
try
HTTP.Disconnect;
except
end;
end;
end;
Calling the same url with the parameter name 'xml' renamed to anything else, like 'xml2' or 'name' with the same value as above also works. I have also tried multiple combinations of the charset, but I think the indy component is changing it internally.
EDIT
The service expects:
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "SendReports/{format=pdf}?report={reportFile}¶ms={jsonParams}&xml={xmlFile}&profile={profile}&id={id}")]
Has anyone had any experience with this?
Thanks
