Is it possible to send a WCF web service request in the MSBIN1 format using the Thinkwise Platform?

I have tested a standard Web Connection, but it is unclear whether the MSBIN1 format is supported. Could you please clarify if there is a way to send requests to a WCF service that requires MSBIN1-encoded messages?

Hi Peter,

well it is not really about if the Web Connection can send it, you can fully specify the content type and all the required headers. And if that can not be made exotic enough, with the HttpConnector even more specificity is possible.

The issue is how the content becomes encoded to this MSBIN1 format. So next to setting the correct content type, what goes into the Content bit of the request will need to already be in this format.

It is a proprietary Microsoft binary encoding, so perhaps there is some SQL trick to get there.

Is this WCF service under you control?

We had to develop a integration to a WFC MSBIN1, probably it is not needed anymore the supplier is replacing the WFC service. HTTP connector doesn’t support a client certificate so it should not work.
