NetSuite Restlet PDF file encoding issue
The above thread seems to be giving a solution to outputing a pdf with a NetSuite RESTlet. As far as I know, you cannot output a pdf from a restlet, so I'm very confused. I am using a restlet to generate a report and the information ultimately needs to output to a pdf so I was trying to see if there was a work around. I tried the answer code from the above thread and I got the expected error:"error code: INVALID_RETURN_DATA_FORMAT error message:Invalid data format. You should return TEXT."
Am I missing something? Is there a way to export xml to a pdf with a NetSuite RESTlet?
The thread you reference discusses how to generate a PDF file in Netsuite. If you want to return a PDF from a RESTLet you will have to return it as a member of a JSON object. e.g.:
var pdfFile = genPDF(); // base this on the sample
return{
fileName: pdfFile.getName(),
fileContent: nlapiEncrypt(pdfFile.getValue(), 'base64')
};
And then your receiver will have to create the actual file.
Recall that RESTLets are for application-to-system communications. If you are trying to return a PDF to a browser you should probably be using a Suitelet.
If this is part of a larger app and you need the RESTLet then review this post: Save base64 string as PDF at client side with JavaScript for options to display the RESTLet response.
Reading through that answer, it appears you'll need to encode/convert the PDF to string format before returning, so you'll need to use base64 encoding.
The NS method nlapiEncrypt(content, 'base64') seems like it might be a good place to start.
Another avenue to investigate, which I haven't tried, is to first save the PDF in the file cabinet, then to return a public link to that file. You'll need to make sure the file has the correct permissions.

When a file is selected or dropped, is it automatically converted to Base64 encoding?
I need to be able to take files, convert them to strings then pass them into POST requests to our backend.
Is ng-file-upload already converting the file? Or is this something I need to manually do by calling either the:
Upload.base64DataUrl(files).then(function(urls){...});
or
Upload.dataUrl(file, boolean).then(function(url){...});
methods?
I can post the relevant code but this seems relatively straightforward. Thanks for the help!
Is there any sample out there how to return a pdf stream (e.g. generated by Crystal Report) from a nancy module via an ajax request?
I'm not sure what you mean by "ajax request" and why it matters, but recently we had to solve similar problem - i.e. returning pdf, generated from other tool. We ended up using as a template a binary processor, utilizing the content negotiation.
You can modify the binary processor to work with application/pdf MIME type and "pdf" file extensions, so it returns the proper response whenever the request has an Accept header of "application/pdf" or when the request is like http://example.com/reports/report.pdf.
Using this, and assuming you have IReportEngine with Stream GetReportByName(string name), your module will look like (pseudo code):
Get["reports/{reportName}"] = _ => _engine.GetReportByName(_.reportName);
I have a spring service which renders JSP page. Spring controller sets JSON data in a request attribute, which i use in my JSP. Can anyone tell how can i parse this JSON data. I know if my web service response was a plain json , i can parse using jsonPath. But in my case JSON is a part of JSP. So I am kinda stuck.
You mean that your JSON is inside your HTML, probably in a Javascript variable?
And I guess using a regex to retrieve the elements your interested in is not enough and that you really want the JSON string?
If so, you can first use a regex check in order to extract your JSON content from your HTML. Beware that if your JSON string is on several lines, you might have to enable some regex features such as multiline or dotall. See
Then, you can transform your regex output into a JSON tree, using the check transform step. There, you can parse the JSON string with the engine of your choice. Gatling ships with json-smart.
Another solution is to build your own check. The procedure for Gatling 2 has been described in this thread on Gatling's Google Group.
I want to access a GWT service from a Python script, so I want to generate a x-gwt-rpc request manually. Can't seem to find any info on the format of a GWT RPC call, since everybody does it from Java (so the call is generated by the framework). Where can I find some detailed documentation about this format?
Don't think it is a trivial task to do that, but because gwt is opensource i would say that the source-code is a pretty good documentation for how it works, if you know java that is.

I stumbled on the same problem as you and I think I solved it rather easily.
Though I haven't figured out how to catch the response properly, I managed to get the response and successfully send the request. Here is what I did:
import requests
url = 'yours url'
header = {'Accept':'*/*',
'Accept-Encoding':'gzip, deflate',
etc...
}
cookie = {cookies if needed
}
data_g = 'this would be request payload u can see in F12 of browser '# u just copy it and paste it, !!!like a string (UTF-8 chars)
t = requests.post(url, headers=header, data = data_g, cookies = cookie)
print vars(t).keys()
#line above will print all variables of t
print t

I have some string values that are retrieved from json data. I need a process of converting this strings to xml format and Post it to a url
If it's inside iPhone SDK you will have to parse the string to convert it to XML, unless you can just post the xml as-is.
Anyway. To parse the XML, you have basically two easy options:
NSXMLParser
libxml2 (my preferred choice, don't know why)
Then you can use NSURLConnection class to post the information to the desired XML. There are a lot of Stackoverflow questions already covering this issue you can search and use.
You can also look at an example here.
