Calling POST API from RPGLE | HTTPAPI | yusy4code

In this video, I have explained how to invoke a POST web service from RPGLE with XML or JSON payload.

We are using HTTP_REQ (by YAJL library) general procedure to make the request.

Hi Yusy, Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I need your help, do you have an example of an RPG program that consumes a Rest API? I've seen videos of yours where you use http_req with Json, but it didn't work for me.

Hi Yusuf @8:34 I tried to send a CSV ifs file by giving path but the I got a response from the client that
attachment is missing I tried Scott klements (example 7-multipart form data-mfd procedures) even that says attachment missing, Did you have any video related to it-Rest api-File upload using httplib

Hi Yusuf,
We have written rpgle program with one input parameter 32000A length.we developed rest api and push data as json in the body using post method to iseries system.

As json is very huge data and it is more than 32000 character length, it is not receiving into iseries system.any suggestions?

Is there any other way to solve this issue?

After trying curl, then via axisc, I ended up here. After wasting 36 hours trying to figure out why curl command works and axisc doesn't. ugh.
