  • 1.  HTTP and BytesToString services

    Posted Tue April 29, 2008 12:17 PM

    hello.
    I use pub.client:http service to submet data to appropriate url; this service return me bytes parameter (along the other parameter), which i am passing to the input bytes parameter of pub.string:bytesToString…But, when I call pub.string:BytesToString service to turn the byte into the string (which I need to do because I need to make the document from xml string) , I get the empty output from that service.
    Can anyone help me? (the other input parameter is ‘encoding’, but i don’t pass nothing to that parameter)

    Thanks…

    Hello,
    what value did you set to ‘loadAs’ parameter for pub.client:http service? (The default is bytes). May be you are getting an empty response.
    But even in worst case you should get the HTML output of the url as a response.

    Cheers

    I don’t get the empty response. i set loadAs=bytes, and service returns me appropriate bytes…

    How can you tell that you’re getting “appropriate bytes?” If bytesToString isn’t returning a string, then it seems a possibility that what is returned is not appropriate.

    Can you post the details of the http call and the bytesToString step?

    The problem was xml: the parameters I am passing to the server weren’t right parameters the server expecting. It is strange, because, i suppose that in that case, server must return me some kind of error. does it?
