content-length

[HeSe]

Hi!
I try to put data with the help of AddBodyString to my request and the server isn't able to process it since the content-length is missing...

Am I supposed to use "AddParameter" with: "Content-Length" after having done "AddBodyString " or am I missing something different?

Thanks for the help!

@HeSe Excel-REST isn't set up to automatically add the content-length parameter, but I'll add the functionality soon. In the meantime, use AddHeader to add the Content-Length to the request. Example:

Dim Body As String
Body = "..."

Request.AddBodyString Body
Request.AddHeader "Content-Length", Len(Body)

Hi Tim,

thanks for the reply. I had tried this, but it didn't work either.

I realized that I had fogotten to set the httpGET to the intended httpPOST method. Now it works,... but I stil lwonder now, if it should still possible to put a body into a httpGET call... it is not the way it should be in REST, but it still should be possible...

Excel-REST will add the Body to all requests (including GET) if it is set explicitly using Request.AddBody or Request.AddBodyString.

The only case where the Body is not added is for Request.AddParameter for GET requests since those are added as query string parameters. (This behavior was based on my experience with RestSharp)
