isCOBOL EIS
HTTPClient is a class that provides many useful features to communicate with existing HTTP services like Web Service (REST/SOAP) HTTP servers, and HTTPHandler is a class that provides a communication bridge between COBOL programs and HTML5/JavaScript pages using the HTTP protocol. Both classes have been upgraded with new features.
HTTPClient
The HTTPClient class now allows you to specify the Encoding charset in the following methods:
• displayEx ( stream, hasDummyRoot, charset )
• displayJSON ( json, hasDummyRoot, charset )
The dummyRoot parameter is now supported in the getResponseJSON method:
• getResponseJSON( json, encoding, hasDummyRoot )
hasDummyRoot is an alphanumeric data item or literal hosting a Boolean value. If the Boolean value is TRUE, then the top-level item of Record-Definition is discarded and will not appear in the JSON stream
HTTPHandler
The dummyRoot parameter is now supported in the acceptEx and acceptFromJSON methods:
• acceptEx( params, hasDummyRoot )
• acceptFromJSON( params, hasDummyRoot )
