A company has a Business Central online environment.

You need to create an HTTP GET request that connects to an external REST service.

Which solution should you use?

AHttpContent data type variable

BCodeunit 1299 'Web Request Helper'

CCodeunit S459 'JSON Management'

DCodeunit 1297 'Http Web Request Mgt''

EHttpClient data type variable

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: E

To create an HTTP GET request that connects to an external REST service in a Business Central online environment, the solution to use is the HttpClient data type variable (E). The HttpClient data type in AL language is designed for sending HTTP requests and receiving HTTP responses from a resource identified by a URI. This makes it the ideal choice for interfacing with external REST services, as it provides the necessary methods and properties to configure and execute HTTP GET requests, handle the responses, and process the data returned by the REST service. This approach is more direct and flexible compared to using specific codeunits like 'Web Request Helper' (B) or 'Http Web Request Mgt' (D), which might not provide the same level of control or specificity needed for RESTful interactions.

HttpContent data type variable could be a simple solution for sending and receiving HTTP content. It's worth considering.

I disagree. Codeunit S459 'JSON Management' could also be a good option because it helps with handling JSON data.

You guys are really overthinking this. It's obviously C - Codeunit S459 'JSON Management'. I mean, if we're connecting to an external REST service, we're probably going to be dealing with JSON data, right? This codeunit is made for that.

Nah, I don't think B is the right answer. Didn't we learn in class that the Web Request Helper is more for handling SOAP requests? I'm leaning towards D - Codeunit 1297 'Http Web Request Mgt'. Sounds like it's specifically designed for this kind of HTTP GET scenario.

I don't think HttpClient is the right choice. D seems more specific to handling HTTP GET requests.

I'm not sure about D. Maybe E could also work. HttpClient variable might be a good choice for this.

I'm not so sure about that. What about B - Codeunit 1299 'Web Request Helper'? I feel like that might be a more straightforward way to handle this kind of HTTP request.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'd say the answer is probably E - HttpClient data type variable. That's the built-in data type in Business Central for making HTTP requests, right?
