Android Question REST APIs format

[iCAB]

Hi Guys

I have been using httputil for a long time, and with every thing we have done so far we are building the calls using something similar to the code below

   job1.Download2("http://www.b4x.com/print.php", _
      Array As String("key1", "value1", "key1", "value2"))

which will output something like

http://www.b4x.com/print.php?key1=value1&key2=value2

We are working with a provider that expects things in the following format:

http://www.b4x.com/print.php/key1/value1/key2/value2

1. is this right?
2. if so, is there a standard way of building the above

Thanks

It's up to the API creator. So in this case, yes

2. if so, is there a standard way of building the above

See PyJoin here https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/pyjoin-python-str-join.84624/#post-536104
So it would be

'Note: Notice ending / in first part of URL string
job1.Download("http://www.b4x.com/print.php/" &_
      PyJoin("/",Array As String("key1", "value1", "key1", "value2")))

Thanks Oliver, that's what I am looking for.

How to use this with post? or does it even apply to that?

How to use this with post?

It really depends on the API. Look at the requirements and if you have any issues/questions, create another thread.
