how to use pre-emptive authentication

[Herbie1220]

Hello,

what is the correct way to use the "http_url_post_xml" function including "pre_emptive authentication"?

i use the functions in this order:

http_debug
https_init
http_long_parseURL
http_url_post_xml

can anybody help me?

• You only need to call https_init() if you need to set non-default options for SSL/TLS.
• I can't see why you'd ever call http_long_parseURL?
• http_url_post_xml() is very old school. I would recommend updating to http_req or http_string and then using RPG's built-in XML capabilities.
• Preemptive BASIC auth is done by calling http_setAuth() prior to the transaction.

http_debug -- if needed.
http_setAuth
http_req
XML-INTO/XML-SAX if doing XML. DATA-INTO/DATA-GEN otherwise.
