How to get a flat file from a https enabled web server?

[Former Member]

The scenario: Flat file (non-xml but structured) sitting on an external https enabled web server. I need XI to go out and get this file on a regular basis (which will then be processed into IDocs)

I have the url to the file and the username/password needed to authenticate.

Which adapter do I use (http? soap?) and how do I configure the adapter to get the file?

Thanks

Hi

Did this problem get resolved. I have the same exact requirement and I don't know how to proceed.

Please help if you fixed this problem. I am looking for the configuration on the SENDER HTTP adapter.

Thanks in advance

Hi ,

You can get the file using HTTP or SOAP adapter based on the mode in which it is exposed to external system.

If it is webservice based on SOAP then you have to know the URL & the SOAP action event, WSDL file need to be used to retrive the file.

You can get the file using HTTP adapter which polls the particular URL and get the information using the user credentails.
