Rewriting External Calls automation -> MSXML not instantiated

Steve · 2018-07-16

Has anyone used MSXML.XMLHTTPRequest ?

We have a process that sends information to a 3rd party and it was originally created using automation. Since the automation tools are not working in our recent NAV2017 upgrade the process was rewritten using MSXML.

The process seems to work with exception that is says that XMLHTTP is not instantiated? The code is below along with the variable call.

MSXML.XMLHTTPRequest.'Microsoft.MSXML, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'

//Build the Request Header
XMLHTTP.open('POST', XmlUrl, FALSE,'','');
XMLHTTP.setRequestHeader('HOST', 'urlinfo.net');
XMLHTTP.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'text/xml; charset=utf-8');
XMLHTTP.setRequestHeader('SOAPAction', 'http://urlinfo.net/SubmitWebInfo');

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,

MSXML is not support by Microsoft through .NET

Thank you HannesHolst

I rewrote the entire process, but I'm stuck on the conversion of this part of code? How do i convert this into a SYSTEM.XML XMLHTTPRequest from MSXML?

from
MSXML <- which is sunset

MSXMLHTTP.SetRequestHeader('HOST', urlText);
MSXMLHTTP.SetRequestHeader('SOAPAction', urlString);

TO

System.XML

SYSTEMXMLHTTP.SetRequestHeader('HOST', urlText);
SYSTEMXMLHTTP.SetRequestHeader('SOAPAction', urlString);

The SetRequestHeader is not available?

thanks

Hi,

try with these here instead.
System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089

You can also look at codeunit 1297 Http Web Request Mgt.
