API Call returning unreadable

[gmundt]

I am trying to make an API call to FedEx rate quote.  The JSON works fine in Postman, but when I attempt it through the web/request I am getting unreadable response.

extrahdr$="Content-Type: application/json"+$0a$+"Authorization: Bearer MyToken"+$0a$+"Accept-Encoding: identity"

url$=https://apis-sandbox.fedex.com/rate/v1/rates/quotes

request$=
{
  "accountNumber":{
    "value":"740561073"
  },
  "requestedShipment":{
    "shipper":{
      "address":{
        "streetLines":["17841 FITCH"],
        "city":"IRVINE",
        "stateOrProvinceCode":"CA",
        "postalCode":"92614",
        "countryCode":"US"
      }
    },
    "recipient":{
      "address":{
        "streetLines":["7609 Geranium Street"],
        "city":"Bethesda",
        "stateOrProvinceCode":"MD",
        "postalCode":"20817",
        "countryCode":"US"
      }
    },
    "rateRequestType":["LIST"],
    "serviceType":"FIRST_OVERNIGHT",
    "preferredCurrency":"USD",
    "shipDateStamp":"2026-04-10",
    "pickupType":"DROPOFF_AT_FEDEX_LOCATION",
    "packagingType":"YOUR_PACKAGING",
    "requestedPackageLineItems":[
      {
        "groupPackageCount":"1",
        "weight":{
          "units":"LB",
          "value":"8"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

method$="POST"

call "*plus/web/request",url$,request$,rcv_data$,rcv_hdr$,"","",extrahdr$,method$

Since the header is returning HTTP/1.0 500 Internal Server Error and Content-Encoding is returning gzip I believe I have something incorrect in the heading.

It looks like you're using HTTP 1.0. FedEx may be expecting 1.1.

[gmundt]

I thought that call "*plus/web/request" defaulted to 1.1 and would need to update %web_request_http_ver$ to change it 1.0.

[Devon Austen]

Support for the use of HTTP version 1.1 protocol was added in PxPlus 2021 (v18.00).

If you are using an earlier version it is always using HTTP 1.0.

[gmundt]

Okay, I'll have to see if FedEx supports 1.0 at the customer is on an older version of PxPlus.
