Fetch Image from Portal in ABAP

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have an image in a HTML published in the portal (with broadcaster). Now I want to use this image in an ABAP program. I can't call the web address directly because my program can't handle the Portal authentication. So I have two questions:

- is there any way to call Portal-websites which require authentication from ABAP?

or

- how can I directly get access to the image file without detour over the Portal.

Thank you very much!

where the image is stored? on the portal KM or is it from SAP back end system?

- is there any way to call Portal-websites which require authentication from ABAP?

yes you can call it using cl_http_client with the option to either pass userid/pwd or certificate

- how can I directly get access to the image file without detour over the Portal.

it depends on where the image is stored

Hello Raja,

thanks for your reply.

I publish it in "My Portfolio" - don't know where it is in the filesystem/database but I guess it is in KM.

I have tried it - it seems like cl_http_client can not login to the portal because this uses JavaScript:

Response from server:

"...iView is not compatible with your browser, operating system or device. Contact your system administrator..."

Any ideas?

you can log in.

use cl_http_client create by url method where the url should be the direct url to the image file.

is your portal using http or https?

that was it! Thank you Raja. If I call my image directly there appears a normal authentication-window and no JavaScript/HTML-window. It works for me.
