Hello,
we have a web API that passes paramters as if they were subdirectories in the url.

for example:

https://myserver/ourwebapi_subfolder/ap ... d/mystatus

so I created this URL using a variable:
https://myserver/ourwebapi_subfolder/ap ... s/1234567/[Metadata.Text:Dataset="appserver.xml",Model="XML",Path="/JobXML/OmanId"]/59

I get the error:
404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

If I take the sample code from the editor and past it in the browser url it works? I know I can connect to API.

so I'm assuming that HTTP app can not handle this type of web API call?

or am I missing something?

Have you tried to escape the slashes like \/

@jan_suhr no never thought of that? so would the hold URL need to be escaped or just the parameter part.

The ones inside the variable

What is the value of the variable? Everything in an URL has to be URL-encoded: spaces become %20 etc. And you are sure the variable points to something that returns the correct value?
