Proc http in version 9.1?

[Yura2301]

Hi all,

I need to reads input entire from  fileref(issue HTTP request) and then writes output to a fileref, and I've found that proc http is the ideal tool for this goal, but , unfortunately, looks like this proc available only from SAS 9.2. But I still have small expectation that there are some "overroad" that allow make same operation in sas 9.1, so will be very grateful for any ideas.

Thanks!

I think the answer will depend upon exactly what you are trying to obtain.  The url engine was available in 9.1 so you could always use something like to, say, create a text file of a web page:

filename fileIwant url http://thefullwebaddress lrecl=9999;

data want;

  infile fileIwant;

  file "c:\mydirectory\outfileIwant.html";

  input;

put _infile_;

run;
