Zip File Responder

in Virtualize

Hello,

I am looking for REST API to create a message responder whose endpoint returns a zip file hosted in a virtualize server.

Thank you!

    Hi,

    Is the file already zipped and the responder just needs to return it? Does the request specify what file needs to be returned?

    Hi williammccusker, thanks for the reply... yes, that is the intention. For each VA, there is an associated zipfile. I want to be able to retrieve it with an end point containing the VA name and then a path, say /getzipfile.... thanks again.

    Hi,

    It sounds like the file name with be in the URL path of the request. In that case the process would involve using the REST URL Data Bank to extract the file name from the path and storing it in a variable. Then in a Responder the "literal input" mode has an option to load a file and use that as the response. You would use the variable as the file name and then set the appropriate content-type for the response.

    Hope this helps!
