Passing script include variable value to REST Message Http Query Parameter Content

Hi,

I have a Client Script variable:

    contentUrl = "mySite";

I pass this variable to the Script include and then pass the variable to the REST message

    siteTokenRequest.setRequestHeader('siteContentUrl',contentUrl);

I also tried:

    siteTokenRequest.setQueryParameter('siteContentUrl',contentUrl);

When I usde the actual "siteContentUrl" value the request is successful. However, when I use variable substitution ${siteContenUrl} the REST request fails.

Any thoughts?

Sincerely,

Roland

Thank you Mike,

This didn't work. Also I was under the assumption that setStringParfameterNoEscape was used to set parameters for the endpoint and using setQueryParameter was used to set parameters for the http query, but I haven't found a sample or explanation how to set a variable in the content of a post.

Sincerely,

Roland

Hi, Is there another way, another method, to pass this variable from the include script to the REST message? I tried different formats/methods and none seem to work.

On your content tab you need something like. Value of JSON also needs quotes and use 

siteTokenRequest.setStringParameterNoEscape('siteContentUrl', contentUrl);
{
	"credentials":{
		"name":"<user-name>",
		"password":"<password>",
		"site":{
			"contentUrl":"${siteContentUrl}"
		}
	}
}
