Retrieving content using url in navision

rozema

Hello,

I need to import data (jpg) in Navision.
This is not a problem but.....
..... I have to get the data using a url. (The data is stored on a public site, I only have the availability of the url).

I assume I have to use Automation controls / perhaps XML. Tried a lot, but I cannot make it work.

Anyone?

Did you try with the IXMLHTTPRequest interface in MSXML?

Jan,

Could you perhaps be a little more specific? I tried the MS XMLHTTP40 Aut. Control. - could not make it work. But then again - I do not use this on a daily basis.....

Do you have an example perhaps?

Thanks, Peter

I'm afraid I don't have an example, but nor can I think of a reason why it wouldn't work. Did you receive an error message? Did the request not return any data, or in a form that was not useful to you?

Hello,

I'm not sure if you mean something like this, it works for me..

-------------------------------------------------------------
mxh - Automation - 'Microsoft XML, v4.0'.XMLHTTP40
Url - Text - 1000
is - InStream
os - OutStream
var - Variant	
ci - Record - Company Information	
mbt - BigText
-------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE(mxh);

mxh.open('GET','http://internet.ls-la.net/pictures/images/Computer/Microsoft-XP-sucks.jpg',FALSE);
Mxh.send(var);
var := Mxh.responseStream;
CLEAR(mxh);

is := var;
mbt.READ(is);

ci.Picture.CREATEOUTSTREAM(os);
mbt.WRITE(os);
ci.Picture.EXPORT('c:\picture.jpeg',FALSE);

Let me know if this is what you mean..

Hi to all,
I am having almost the same problem. I want to download a XML file from a specified URL and save it to HDD. Is there an easiest alternative solution or I have to follow a scenario like this one?

Thank you in advance...
