Re: cURL - FTPAPI

[Michael Ryan <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

   Well...I find this odd. I changed this to a GET, like this:
    rc = http_url_get('[1]http://server.example.com:8090/solr/update +
                               -F stream.file=c:/Temp/data/myfile.xml' :

   '/tmp/newfile.xml');
   And I get the same 505 error. What is cURL doing that an HTTPAPI GET
   isn't doing? Doesn't cURL implement things like POSTs and GETs and
   file transfers and stuff like that? Nothing is returned in
   /tmp/newfile.xml; I'm getting the return code from the rc variable.
   I'd rather not implement cURL on the iSeries if I don't have to.
   Thanks...

     Hi Scott -
     Thanks for the reply. This is for a SOLR server, which is a search
     engine application that runs on a Windows box. The update process
     will update the search engine data base.
      I don't want HTTPAPI to call cURL; I want to use HTTPAPI to do
     what cURL does. So I probably want to do a GET instead of a POST,
     right? I'll give that a go.
     Thanks!

     Hi Michael,
     Are you sure this is a valid URI?  It looks more like a Unix
     command-line.  The HTTP protocol does not automatically let you run
     remote commands on another server. (Though, a program could be
     written
     that takes the URI, extracts the command from it, and runs it.)
     Normally, cURL does the same thing that HTTPAPI does... so it seems
     strange for HTTPAPI to ask cURL to do something?
     Can you provide more detail on how this web site is supposed to
     work,
     and what it's supposed to do?
     You also said "there's not much in Data because I don't want to
     post
     anything".  That's a strange thing to say.  Why are you using POST
     if
     you don't have anything to POST?  Why not use GET?
