Export to HTML throwing RWS 00058 Not acceptable, (RWS 00058)

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to export to HTML and it is throwing the above error.

The Header is "text/html" and file extension for download is also .html.

The GET request is ...raylight/v1/documents/docid

Anything i have to do or missing here?

Thanks,

Arun

If on 4.1. Use accept header as application/zip for zipped HTML if want to export a webi document in listing mode.

Else you can export a report in the webi document directly to html.

The GET request is ...raylight/v1/documents/docid/reports/reportid

Accept header is text/html

You can refer to the Restful guide for more details.

Hi Prithvi,

   I am trying to get the document in HTML and face the issue mentioned above. I have used "text/html" as the Accept header. My get request is just raylight/v1/documents/docid/

I do get a response when I try with appliaction/xml as Accept header, but the response code is 406 when I hit the same URL with text/html

  Any suggestion?

Thanks

Hi Vish,

You cannot export the whole document to HTML directly as there can be multiple pages, so the for the URL you are using, the HTML export is a zip file with all of the pages zipped up.  As per the documentation, the Accept header should be "application/zip".

You can export  a report in listing mode as a single HTML file using:

GET  /raylight/v1/documents/<docId>/reports/<reportId>

this will work with Accept:  text/html

If you want individual pages instead of a long single page use:

GET  /raylight/v1/documents/<docId>/reports/<reportId>/pages/<pageNum>

See the following sections of the documentation:

• Exporting a Document in Listing mode
• Exporting a Report in Listing mode
• Exporting a Report as a Series of Pages
