Access Seq files over http

Hi All:

Been awhile since I have time to drop by, but I am back to get help where I know I will get one when I needed.

The challenge is that I got a few csv seq files on an url. I can not get ftp access to them so I have to do it via http so anyone has any idea how to do this without using RTI web services?

I remember there was something called XML pack, but are they free or what?

Any suggestion or help is appreciated.

William

XML PACK is not free.

And just to tack on another bit of information, something I've never had to do but understand cannot be done with 'out of the box' Server is access anything over HTTP / on a URL.

From what I understand, you're going to need some 3rd party help or perhaps (as you noted) RTI - which is now called the SOA Edition. Search the forum for 'http' or 'url' and see what turns up, it's been discussed in the past.

Thanks for the input.

I was using the 7.1 designer and noticed that I got real time stages and have xml input output and transformer.

I never use them before, but can I use these stages to access an url to download files or they just convert xml codes?

I don't believe the XMLReader or XMLWriter have any ability to acces URLs.
We use them in converting XML documents that are received from and sent to .NET applications via RTI.

Code: Select all

RTIInput ---> XMLReader ---> DataStagePieces ---> XMLWriter ---> RTIOutput

The DataStagePieces include some QualityStage stages.
