PROBLEM

When using the HTTPPOST function with extra headers the response received is ‘HTTP 400 - Bad Request’.

SOLUTION

When using either HTTPPOST or HTTPGET there is the option to set extra headers. These extra headers could be either SOAPAction or Authorization headers etc. If this is not formatted correctly the server will respond with an error ‘HTTP 400 – Bad Request’

According to the documentation:

extra-headers - An optional alphanumeric item specifying extra headers to be added to the HTTP header. This argument consists of name/value pairs separated by hex x"00", and ended with two x"00"'s.

This could be set in the following format in WORKING-STORAGE:
