REST Connector GET Method with Body

wedersoncabrla — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 13:53:46 GMT

Hello!

I'm trying use the REST Connector to make a GET request with a XML body, but it seems that Qlik doesn't allow this option.. is there any workaround?

Making the same request with Postman or CURL works fine. (here i add the header parameter "Content-Type application/json" that Qlik don't allow me use in GET method.)

My Request:

RestConnectorMasterTable: SQL SELECT "ack", "__KEY_promoCoreResponse" FROM XML "promoCoreResponse" PK "__KEY_promoCoreResponse" WITH CONNECTION ( URL "$(vURL)", HTTPHEADER "Authorization" "Bearer $(vAccess_token)", HTTPHEADER "Accept" "*/*", BODY "$(vBody)" );

My Body:

<promoCoreRequest> <operation>getPromotions</operation> <companyId>****</companyId> <params> </params> </promoCoreRequest>;

CURL command

curl -v -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer *****" -H "Accept: */*" -d "<promoCoreRequest><operation>getPromotions</operation><companyId>****</companyId><params></params></promoCoreRequest>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -o "output.txt" http://****/promo/api/rest/promotions

Hello,

A GET request with a body wouldn't be a very standard way as per the HTTP protocol standards, I believe.

It's currently not supported in the Qlik REST connector to have those kind of requests.

You could log a feature request here if you need such a feature and Qlik Product Management will review it:
