Is there any plan to support receiving data in application/x-www-form-urlencoded with FME Data Data Virtualization endpoints?

 

Currently, when creating an endpoint, the request body only allows application/json as the content type. In some cases, external applications or services can only send form-encoded data rather than JSON.

 

Is support for form data planned in upcoming versions?

Hi jipx,

 

We are currently working to increase the content type options for data virtualization request bodies. Unfortunately, application/x-www-form-urlencoded is currently considered out of scope.

 

If you wouldn’t mind sharing a bit more about your use case for this MIME type, I will include it in our internal conversations.


I was planning to replace an old (v8.11.2) Node.js API with FME Data Virtualization. The challenge is that the application sending data to the specific API uses the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format for requests. I know that I can receive this type of data with a regular workspace, but it would have been perfect if everything could be handled within the same data virtualization API.


Thank you for sharing that with us. We’ve created an internal ticket to track this feedback and will reconsider adding support for this MIME type in a future version.
