error MCH1210 in HTTPAPIR4 Len = -1

[juan11de14]

Hi,
I access the command line and consume a service without any problems as follows:
response = http_string( 'POST': URL: SOAP: 'text/xml')
But if I do it this way, by first making a post:
data-gen reqds %data(request) %gen('YAJLDTAGEN')
response = http_string('POST':url:request:'application/json');
Next in other program
response = http_string( 'POST': URL: SOAP: 'text/xml')
and it shows me the error MCH1210 en HTTPAPIR4 ( %len(resultstr) = Len;)
because Len = -1.
What caused this error?

I'd recommend first setting debug options before calling http_string:

Code: Select all

http_debug(*on: '/tmp/httpdebug.txt');

and review the log written int text file.
