Include Response for HTTPPOSTCLOB Errors

Currently, the HTTPPOSTCLOB command discards the response received from the remote server if the HTTP response is not 200. We would like to be able to see the response regardless of success or error.


Use Case:

We have built an application to set up users in a remote system. Whenever we receive an error, we have to open up Postman and issue the POST from there so that we can see the response from the remote server. It would be much more valuable if we could capture the response when an error has occurred.

    IBM believes that the request described has been solved and is available by using the HTTPPOSTCLOBVERBOSE table function.

    There are two sets of HTTP functions in SYSTOOLS. The scalar functions, like HTTPPOSTCLOB, do not return complete response information. The HTTPPOSTCLOBVERBOSE table function does. You need to have the includeErrorMsg option set in the HTTPHEADER parameter in order to see the result.

    In September 2021 we delivered a new set of HTTP functions in QSYS2. These always return the response returned by the server, even in the error case where the http response is not 200. To get the error reported as an SQL error, the signalErrors options would need to be set.
