We've migrated to PowerBuilder 2019 r2 from PB 12.5.  All is working well so far even the web serivces we call with the old .net web service proxy using a wsdl URL.  To future proof the application it appears from the PB documentation that we should use HTTPClient but the documentation is really poor.  if you look at the example provided in this link:

https://www.appeon.com/developers/get-help/knowledgebase/call-soap-web-service-using-httpclient-object.html

 

the first part of the example is what we are using today with PB 12.5, a lot cleaner than the suggested change using HTTPCLient which is hard coded in the example.

 

Anyone out there that has successfully migrated from the old web proxy services to the new HTTPClient that has a cleaner, non-hard coded example?

 

thanks in advance!

Hi Andy,

  1.  As you know, currently creating Web service proxy for connecting to SOAP server will no longer be eligible for technical support.

https://www.appeon.com/developers/obsolete-features-in-powerbuilder-2017R3.html 

The new HTTPClient object is easier to use and supports more methods (Get/Post/Put/Delete) and more SSL protocols (TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, SSL 2.0, and SSL 3.0).

Among other things, the HTTPClient can be also used to consume SOAP Web services. This is particularly useful as the Web Service Proxy has many limitations and defects calling SOAP Web services such as not supporting TLS 1.2.
