Android Question GET request with JSON object as a parameter

[RhodesB4A]

Hi,

So I'm trying to perform a GET request but I keep getting the error below. It seems to be complaining about the first "{" brace. The GET request expects the URL with parameters in the form of e.g www.url.com/{"name": "Home Alone 3"} which then deletes the row with name "Home Alone 3". Works just fine via desktop so I assume my code is wrong.
"

1. You should use HttpUtils2.
2. You should encode the the Json string with StringUtils.EncodeUrl.

thanks for reply. Could you provide me with snippet code on how to this? I have tried but to no avail

 

[Erel]

Can you post the code that you tried to run?

 

[RhodesB4A]

The entire code runs but the JobDone event returns :

"JobName = RemProd, Success = false
Error: Method Not Allowed"

The server side is configured for a GET that deletes so I don't understand the problem?

Sub RemProdOnTW

    Dim RemProd As HttpJob
    Dim remProdUrl As String
   
    RemProd.Initialize("RemProd", Me)
  

    'remProdUrl = "http://146.231.88.170:8080/reedhousesystems-its-africa-web/service/art/remove-product/"
    remProdUrl = "http://146.231.88.170:8080/reedhousesystems-its-africa-web/service/art/remove-product/" '& JSONGenerator.ToString()
    RemProd.Download2(remProdUrl,Array As String("{name:", "Mandela}"))  

    RemProd.GetRequest.SetHeader("Accept","application/json")


End Sub

 

[Erel]

HttpJob.Download2 should be used when you want to encode the URL parameters. This is not the case here.

You need to do something like:

Dim su As StringUtils
remProdUrl = remProdUrl & EncodeUrl(JsonString, "UTF8")
