Sending EDI Documents to Integration Server via HTTP
 
Identifying the Service to Invoke
Logic to Include in the HTTP Client
You can create a client that uses HTTP or HTTPS to post an EDI document to Integration Server. The HTTP client must meet the following requirements :
*The client must be able to send the EDI document as a String of data to Integration Server using the HTTP POST method.
*The client must be able to set the value of the content type (for example, application/EDIstream) in the request-header field.
Because most browsers do not allow you to modify the content type header field, they are not suitable clients for this type of submission. Clients that you might use to submit an EDI document in this manner include PERL scripts, which allow you to build and issue HTTP requests, and the webMethods pub.client:http service.
