[U2] Viewing HTTP headers when using UniData submitRequest()

Thu Apr 22 08:24:58 PDT 2010

I've tried that.  However even at level 10 logging I don't get a concise
view of what the receiving web server 'sees' in a format that I can go
to my vendor and say "look at this, isn't that what your documentation
says?"

I've used protocolLogging forever in diagnosing socket issues and it was
my first try - however not being a real HTTP guru, having a recalcitrant
vendor and using SSL is more than a tiny bit to chew off at one time.

Our web guys have put together a site I can go to with my data and it
emails me a dump of all of the variables available to IIS, in an IIS
(sort of) format so here's hoping that will give me some ammunition to
deal with the vendor.

Sure would be nice to have a tool within the UniData environment that
would return what is about to be sent out of the HTTP(s) port though -
that 'raw' text would go a long way to settling disputes like this one.

Look at the docs for protocolLogging

0155 **********************************************

0156 IF DO.LOGGING THEN

0157   res=protocolLogging(LOGFILE,"ON",10)

0158 END

0159 **********************************************

It's pretty comprehensive.
Here is the output from one of my calls:
