Send PDF File Via HTTP RESTFul LabVIEW WebService to a client WebService

[Anthony_L]

Hello:

Is there a way to Send PDF file as binary string to Web Service Client from a LabVIEW Web Service? Is there any sample code I could use?

[Anthony_L · Accepted solution]

OK, streaming a .* pdf file from a LabVIEW Web Service (GET) when run in DEBUG mode did NOT work. All attempts kept returning BAD REQUEST Error = 401

 -- However, after compiling and deploying the Web Service to NI Web Server, both POSTMAN and LabVIEW Web Service Client worked OK!

-- Attached are illustration in support of the above.

Bottom Line:

-----------------

LabVIEW Web Services works well (OK) in streaming a *.pdf file to a web service client.

Both:

(a) POSTMAN web service tool, and

(b) LabVIEW web Service client

. . . successfully received the streamed file via Https GET API request.
