RE: HTTP 200 return code

Well I feel stupid.  I didn't notice the content length - I was looking only
at the byte counter sent by the trading partner.  They are definitely
sending less than they indicate.

Thanks all.

Barry

Barry,

I'm sorry -- I thought I already replied to this??

I completely agree with Ian's analysis of this.  The HTTP server you're
connecting to is sending the following 'Content-length: 95270'.  This
number isn't decided upon by HTTPAPI -- it's sent to HTTPAPI by the
server you're connected to.

You say that you only receive 95263 bytes, plus the 7 byte counter.
Guess what?  95263+7 = 95270.  That's exactly what the server told
HTTPAPI that it was going to send.  HTTPAPI can't receive data that
hasn't been sent.

I'm scratching my head trying to think of a reason why the application
would send a higher number than the number of physical bytes, but I'm
having a hard time coming up with anything other than "the application
is wrong."   Maybe the server is giving you a count of the number of
bytes in UTF-8 format, and then is converting to ASCII (this changing
the count) before sending it?
