Absolute Request Paths

Normally, the path provided to any of the dmphttp* functions is relative to the URL of the dmpresource. For example, if the dmpresource 'res' references a component with root URL https://app.dms.usw2.ficoanalyticcloud.com/16m0jgaeei/, then the following code:

httpStatusCode := dmphttpget(res,'/rest/runtime/executions','result.json')

will initiate a request to https://app.dms.usw2.ficoanalyticcloud.com/ 16m0jgaeei/rest/runtime/executions. When you are constructing the request path in the model, you will usually be constructing the path relative to the resource. But in some cases, you may want to use a path that was returned by a previous call to the resource, and that path may be relative to the hostname rather than the resource's root. (e.g. /16m0jgaeei/rest/runtime/executions) To support this case, if you specify a path that starts with the path from the resource URL, this will be treated as an absolute path and resolved relative to the hostname.

For example:

! 'res' is a dmpresource with URL https://app.dms.usw2.ficoanalyticcloud.com/16m0jgaeei

! Fetch https://app.dms.usw2.ficoanalyticcloud.com/16m0jgaeei/rest/runtime/executions
httpStatusCode := dmphttpget(res,'/16m0jgaeei/rest/runtime/executions','result.json')

! Fetch https://app.dms.usw2.ficoanalyticcloud.com/16m0jgaeei/rest/runtime/executions
httpStatusCode := dmphttpget(res,'/rest/runtime/executions','result.json')

! Fetch https://app.dms.usw2.ficoanalyticcloud.com/16m0jgaeei/16m0j/rest/runtime/executions
httpStatusCode := dmphttpget(res,'/16moj/rest/runtime/executions','result.json')

This behaviour can be disabled by setting the abspath attribute of the dmpresource to 'false', e.g.:

! Fetch https://app.dms.usw2.ficoanalyticcloud.com/16m0jgaeei/16m0jgaeei/rest/runtime/executions
res.abspath := false
httpStatusCode := dmphttpget(res,'/16m0jgaeei/rest/runtime/executions','result.json')
