I am using PB 2019 R3 Build 2803, my code follows and a description of the problem at the end...

 

/////////////////////// BEGINNING OF CODE //////////////////////////////////////////////////

HTTPClient  lnv_http
lnv_http = CREATE HTTPClient

string ls_json
string ls_response
long ll_status
blob lb_json

long ll_statusCode
string ls_responseBody

lb_json = Blob(ls_json, EncodingUTF8!)

lnv_http.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
lnv_http.SetRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json")
ll_status = lnv_http.SendRequest("POST", "https://nissan.corp.toronto.ca:6810/ewms/racs/createPermit", lb_json)


lnv_http.GetResponseBody(ls_response)


long ll_http_code
ll_http_code = lnv_http.GetResponseStatusCode()


blob lb_response
lnv_http.GetResponseBody(lb_response)
ls_response = String(lb_response)  // Convert blob to string

/////////////////////// END OF CODE ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The issue is I am receiving status codes and response body back that makes no sense. I know my .json is correct, developers at the other end receive the .json payload successfully and it matches mine perfectly.

1. I receive  -4 from this (always)

ll_status = lnv_http.SendRequest("POST", "https://nissan.corp.toronto.ca:6810/ewms/racs/createPermit", lb_json)

2. ls_response from this is always empty string ""

lnv_http.GetResponseBody(ls_response)

3. ll_http_code = lnv_http.GetResponseStatusCode()

This is always -1

4. lnv_http.GetResponseBody(lb_response)
ls_response = String(lb_response)  // Convert blob to string

This always returns empty string ""

 

So if I send corrupt JSON or make up a nonsensical url for the call the return values are identical to what they are when the call succeeds. The issue is I can never reliably know if the call succeeded since the responses are always identical.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks in advance.
