HTTP request without body

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are about to migrate from webMethods to SAP PI.

Until now the customers/ partners send the message requests to webMethods as URL parameters and without HTTP body.

I understand that PI can handle URL parameters in HTTP sender adapter. But what about the body? We tried to send a message without body to PI and it complained. "Body is empty".

We don't want all customers/ partners to modify their systems because of our migration. Is there a way to communicate with PI via HTTP and URL parameters but without message body?

Maybe by implementing an adapter module for HTTP sender adapter? Or is it not possible at all to send HTTP without message body to PI?

Thanks for all advice!

Karsten

This is not possible.

Hi Stefan,

you mean that adapter module is not possible or that there is no way at all to send HTTP requests without body to PI?

Thanks!

Oh, yes, an ABAP based module. I have totally forgotten this weblog.

That could work to create a payload from URL parameters.
