Hello all,

I need to get a content of the http site. I'm using client version 3.7.
I tried to make something like that:

ResponseStreamVariant := XmlHttp.responseStream;
ResponseInStream := ResponseStreamVariant;

, but I receive following error:

"This data is not supported by C/SIDE. You can access data from any of the following data types:..."

Do you know different way of retrieving a data from the http site. This is a 3.7 version, so BigText cannot be used.

Looking forward to your response

Best regards,

    Hello,

    I've had the same problem. It's to bad you can't use BigText in 3.7 :(..

    I solved it with some C# code.. 
    public string GetUrlContent(string url, string user, string pass, string saveto)
{
    try
    {
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
        request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, pass);
        request.PreAuthenticate = true;

        HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        FileStream writeStream = new FileStream(saveto, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
        ReadWriteStream(response.GetResponseStream(), writeStream);
    }
    catch (WebException ex)
    {
        return ex.Message;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        return ex.Message;
    }
    return "";
}
    ..combined with How to create a Navision dll/ocx in Visual Studio 2005 .NET and it worked :)
    Let me know if this is what you mean..
    Met vriendelijke groet, best regards,
