REST WEB SERVICE - I only get a little part of the response data.

[Former Member]

Hi

Iu2019m trying to consume a REST Web services ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST] ) with abap and using the class cl_http_client.

I am able to connect and read information from the Web Service but I only get a little part of the data.

I get the data by using the method get_data (class: cl_http_response) and the data is written in the local variable lv_response_hex.

Data lv_response_hex type string.
Data mo_http_client type ref to cl_http_client.

  call method mo_http_client->response->get_data
    receiving
      data               = lv_response_hex.

However, there are circa 400-600 characters in lv_response_hex. Sometimes I get ca 6800 characters but the whole data is about 10000(or even more) characters.

The web service definitely works correctly because I tried to get the whole data with another program and I got it.

Thank you very much!

Best regards

Stefan

The string needs to be defined as xstring.

Data lv_response_hex type xstring.
