I am trying to open a https site with POST method to include ID and password to access the https site and open the site on the default internet browser. The POST I tried to use HttpClient and sendRequest method. But I cannot make it works. The return code from SendRequest is -2. 

Is there a sample code that I can use? We is using PowerBuilder 2017 R3 and deploy the code as a web application in PowerServer.

Thanks, 

Jon

Hi Jon,

  1. Please check whether your PowerServer version is 2019. If not, then the httpclient object is not supported, you must upgrade to version 2019 first.
  2. We suggest that you use the HyperLinkToURL function of inet object to implement the functionality.

https://www.appeon.com/support/documents/appeon_online_help/pb2019/features_help_for_appeon_web/ch05s02s01.html#InetObject

But the ID and password parameters might can't be used in this functionality. If your web link contains those parameter settings (see the example below), this should not be a problem. 

For example: http://192.0.1.94:8080/MyTest/index.html?user=appeon&password=appeon

I guess you might need this help about single sign-on, you can refer to the link below for more details:

Hi Mark,

Thank you for respond. We use PB 2017 R3. Is httpClient only on PB 2019? Does HyperLinkToURL support https?

Hi Chris,



Are you give me a example on how to do it? The functions on httpclient object seem don't have one can display a web page.



Thanks,



Jon

Hi Jon;

The HTTPClient can only POST with a RESTFul Web Service. No Internet browser interaction is possible with that object class. You would need to use the iNET object for that. The iNET object has the POSTURL() command but cannot support HTTPS communication though.

I think that your best hope might be to use a 3rd party control at this time for this type of implementation.

FYI: https://www.example-code.com/powerbuilder/http_post_json.asp
