Howto Send/GET a HTTP message in CRS

[ngocgl]

hi all!

In my solution, I need to communicate with third-party system via HTTP Protocol . So, How do I send a HTTP Request to a application server and receive the HTTP RESPONSE in CRS Script Editor?

It's very urgent. Please reply me as soon as possible. I'll vote you 5* :)

Hi,

You have to use 'Create URL document' step in the Document folder in CRS Script Editor.

To have an example of a basic script that it does the things you want, use this Cisco guide. I used the example to implement an scenario similar to you. Take a look to the chapter 'Designing a Web-Enabled Client Script':

http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/products/ps6488/c1626/ccmigration_09186a00804a2b0a.pdf

Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot Luis!

I have read that guide for many times but I still can't make it work.

Would you please do me a favor to send me your script like my scenario?

There is still another bug in CRS that I can't fix so I hope that you can help me. The problem is that I can't add a custom Java class into CRS. I do as steps below:

Step 1: Using CRS Application Administrator to upload the JAR file.

Step 2: Using CRS AA to configure a custom classpath

Step 3: restart the CRS Editor.

Then I open JAVA Exp. Editor and modify the Object but CRS doesn't load JAVA's contructor or Method.

I use CRS 4.5 (IP-IVR License).

Could you help me to resolve this problem.

Thanks

The script was simple: I prompted for an ID and password, sended a get to a web server and receives a very simple XML with 1 or 0 depends on the web server validation was true or false.

I can not provide the script because it is on the customer system.

Hope this helps,

Juan Luis

Yes, it's exactly same to my situation.

I use IVR to collect user/pass and check it by an external server.

If you could, please cut the important parameters in your script, and send me just a simple script to SEND the request and RECEIVE the result.

It's very important to me now. Because I have to finish this project before tomorrow.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Here you have a simple script, Script1.aef, that sends a 'get' to a web server and receives a very simple answer in XML showed in the 'Servelet_Answer.txt' file. The value returned by the web server is stored in the variable 'Result' in the script.

Hope this helps,

Juan Luis

Thanks a lot!

Now, I know what I should do.

I'm finding the way to return the XML file from web application (which is written by Java) after receiving HTTP request.

Thanks again.

Hi,

I'm trying to do something similar but is not working.

I'm trying to send a parameter to an ASP webpage to make it run. All I want is to deliver it.

I was reading the cisco guide and it says to use the Create URL Document + the Send HTTP Response step but it doesn't work.

my Create URL Document:

URL= http://x.x.x.x/webpage.asp

Method = Post

Parameters = name = f, values = "something"

document = doc

Send HTTP Response step:

Document = doc

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

thank you

Hi,

You talked above how to receive a response from a web application by creating the xml data

But please advise how to send a request to this web service to receive this response based on the sent request ?

Thanks

[geoff]

The normal way you talk to a Web service is to send an HTTP POST to a URL. The URL consists of a URI + a query string defining the arguments. name=value pairs in the query string are separated by ampersands, and the query string is separated from the URI with a question mark.

So perhaps your Web service is located at http://some_server:8000/someApp and you want to pass arguments name1=value1 and name2=value2. The software will build up a URL like this

http://some_server:8000/someApp?name1=value1&name2=value2

I suspect the CRS application does this.

What returns from the POST could be an XML document which you can parse.

Hi geoff,

Thanks for your reply

So you see the in the create url doc , I'll fill in the parameters: name and vlaue - for the values I need to send to the webservices to ask about?

as if i have a caller ID and he choose for example menu number 4 in my script

then I'll need to send the webservice the caller ID and the 4 ,, then I'll expect a response from the webservice to play it for the customer

So you see I'll send as for example:

name:Calling , vlaue:19723783748

name:choose, value: 4

then the webservice will receive them and respond, I'll make xml doc,and get the value using xpath ?

Also the above 2-name: Calling & choose should be defined in the webservice ?

thanks

Does the Web service already exist? Is it a Tomcat server or some ASP server? If Tomcat, what port is it listening on? 8000?

If you paste something like (make the obvious substitutions)

http://some_server:8000/someApp?Calling=4085551234&choose=4

into your browser, what do you get back?

Geoff
