Introduced in v3.0.0, the HTTP Framework Setup form (NDW_HTTP_FRAMEWORK_SETUP) form includes more options:

  • Enable Logging - No longer is it necessary to rename your log folder to turn off logging. Now you can simply toggle this on or off!
  • Log Errors Only - Are you getting lost in a sea of log files? Perhaps you only need to find those pesky error responses. Easy peasy! Just select this box and only 4xx and 5xx HTTP status code responses will be sent to your folder.
  • Aborted Service - Miss having an INET_ABORTED equivalent feature? You're in luck. A template for handling aborted requests now ships with v3.0.1 called HTTP_ABORTED_SERVICE. Feel free to modify this or copy it into your own custom aborted service handler.
  • Debugger Setting - Tired of running back and forth to the Database Manager to change the Debugger Setting? Are you concerned that modifying this setting will affect your desktop users? If you answered yes to either question we have you covered! Now you can specify your own Debugger Setting that will only affect your web services. Of course, what good is having an Intercept option without a Debugger Intercept service? Glad you asked because we have that covered too. The HTTP_DEBUGGER_SERVICE routine also ships with v3.0.1. Like HTTP_ABORTED_SERVICE, you are free to modify this routine or make a copy to use.

Log like a Boss

Logging is a critical tool in the belt when troubleshooting and profiling web services. In the last release we updated the Response log to include useful metadata. In 3.0.1, we go full throttle with the logging enhancements.

  • Request Logs - Once upon a time the Request logs were nothing but raw text dumps of the Request argument that the OECGI passed into HTTP_MCP. We are now proud to showcase our new and improved Request log format:

  • Response Logs - Turns out more metadata is a good thing so we went ahead and update the Response log with the current HTTP Framework version, Authorization information, and Query Params used.

 

3.0.0
