(DataFlex) Creating an application/json HTTP POST Request

Demonstrates how to create an HTTP POST request having the Content-Type application/json, where the body of the HTTP request is the following JSON:

{
   "username" : "my_username",
   "password" : "my_password",
   "validation-factors" : {
      "validationFactors" : [
         {
            "name" : "remote_address",
            "value" : "127.0.0.1"
         }
      ]
   }
}

The generated HTTP request looks like this:

POST /something HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
Host: domain
Content-Length: 216

{
  "username": "my_username",
  "password": "my_password",
  "validation-factors": {
    "validationFactors": [
      {
        "name": "remote_address",
        "value": "127.0.0.1"
      }
    ]
  }
}

    Get ComAppendString Of hoFactorObj "value" "127.0.0.1" To iSuccess

    // Use the JSON for the HTTP request body
    // By default, the Emit method will output compact JSON.
    // This is best for generating the smallest size request.
    // To generate a more human-readable (pretty-printed) JSON request body,
    // set the EmitCompact property to FALSE
    Set ComEmitCompact Of hoJson To False
    Get ComEmit Of hoJson To sTemp1
    Get ComLoadBodyFromString Of hoReq sTemp1 "utf-8" To iSuccess

    // View the request that would be sent if HttpSReq was called:
    Get ComGenerateRequestText Of hoReq To sRequestMime
    Showln sRequestMime

    // A few important comments about the HTTP request that is generated:
    // 
    // 1) The Content-Length header is automatically generated based on the actual length of the MIME message
    //    that follows the intial (topmost) MIME header.
    // 2) The HOST header will automatically get filled in with the actual domain when HttpSReq
    //    is called
