Re: [U2] Using the PUT method in an HTTP connection in UniBasic
I use Curl for this sort of stuff. I have a generic http/https send/get routine you can get here: http://www.schasny.com/bp/HTTP.TRANSFER jim.sto...@esc.edu wrote: Hello everyone, We have been playing around with the UniBasic commands createRequest and submitRequest for use with some web services provided by our external vendors.

Re: [U2] Using the PUT method in an HTTP connection in UniBasic
Use the *nix curl command - it can do any verb and any payload. Or just use the sockets api - http is just a simple socket conversation. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of jim.sto...@esc.edu Sent: 11 March 2013 20:21 To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] Using the PUT method in an HTTP connection in UniBasic Hello everyone, We have been playing around with the UniBasic commands createRequest and submitRequest for use with some web services provided by our external vendors.
