Using pub.client.http to post to a hidden from

[Joseph_Martinez1 (Joseph Martinez)]

I am trying to post a cXML message(PunchOutOrderMessage) to Coupa. The documentation states that I have to post the cXML to a hidden form. I don’t know exactly what setting I should use in pub.client.http to make this work. Here is the cXML documentation:

Instead of sending a PunchOutOrderMessage directly to the procurement application,
your Website encodes it as a hidden HTML Form field and posts it to the URL
specified in the BrowserFormPost element of the PunchOutSetupRequest. The hidden
HTML Form field must be named either cxml-urlencoded or cxml-base64 (these names
are case insensitive).

Thanks in advance for any help,
Joe

Hi, to post form data follow below steps when using pub.client:http:

1. Set method to POST
2. Set data/string to below (Replace the sample cXML I used with your cXML. Notice the boundery string before and after cXML while replacing):

3. Set any auth details that are required
4. Add Content-Type under headers and Set it to multipart/form-data; boundary=------MyBoundarySomeRandomString

These steps should do.
