we need more info. The info is not clear.

My understanding is that you want to call a https url get the data returned from ABAP

is it right?

first of all you need to obtain the certificate of that particular site and import it into the ABAP environment (transaction STRUSTSSO2).

then you can use class cl_http_client to call the url and get the data back.

the call would be something like below.

call method cl_http_client=>create

exporting

host = 'www.domain.com'

service = '80'

scheme = '2' " 1 http 2 https

importing

client = http_client.

call method http_client->request->set_header_field

exporting

name = '~request_method'

value = 'POST'.

call method http_client->send

exceptions

http_communication_failure = 1

http_invalid_state = 2.

call method http_client->receive

exceptions

http_communication_failure = 1

http_invalid_state = 2

http_processing_failed = 3.

wf_string1 = http_client->response->get_cdata( ).

Hope this is clear.

i tried doin it, but after importing ,it is not showing the certificate in 'VSTRUSTCERT'.

and i think it should also come in SSL Client Certificate in SM59.

are there any Basis settings which needs to be performed??
