How to download xml file from http:// (url) and then parse it (istrem).

[Former Member]

Hi,

how Can I resolve downloading xml file from http server (internet) and built istream -> parse xml file. I build istream from itab but i would like whole process solve in abap code because i just use function ws_upload. If i try use

create_istream_uri( 'http://www.edi.com/file.xml' ) it doesnt work. Till now I must download xml file from this url manualy a then use this function and parse it, .....

*CALL FUNCTION 'WS_UPLOAD'

• EXPORTING

• filename = lv_file_url

• filetype = 'BIN'

• IMPORTING

• filelength = xml_table_size

• TABLES

• data_tab = xml_table

• EXCEPTIONS

• OTHERS = 11.

ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).

streamfactory = ixml->create_stream_factory( ).

*istream = streamfactory->create_istream_itable( table = xml_table

• size = xml_table_size ).

Thanks, zd.

Hai triska,

Check out the code from

/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2005/07/01/bsp-create-a-weather-magnet-using-xml-feed-from-weathercom

Adjust with the formating of the Blog.

data: url type string. 
data: t_url type string. 
data: client type ref to if_http_client. 
data: c_xml type string. 

concatenate `http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/` `` `47546` `?cc=*&prod=xoap&par=XXXXXXXXXX` `&key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX` into url.

****Create the HTTP client call method 
cl_http_client=>create_by_url 
exporting 
url = url 
host_compatibility = abap_true 
importing client = client 
exceptions others = 1. 

****Make the call 
client->send( ). 
****Receive the Response Object call method 
client->receive 
exceptions 
http_communication_failure = 1 
http_invalid_state = 2 
http_processing_failed = 3 
others = 4. 

****Get the response content in Character format 

c_xml = client->response->get_cdata( ).
