apex_web_service.make_rest_request issues when retrieving a blob (picture)?

NiallOct 10 2019 — edited Oct 11 2019

Hi all,

When trying to download a picture for insertion into the db, I am getting the following.

The URL is accessible from a normal browser.  I have reproduced this problem on both apex.oracle.com and on the Autonomous Cloud.

Is it a bug or am I do something wrong? 

Unfortunately, utl_http and httpURIType don't seem to work on the Autonomous Cloud either.

All ideas are welcome.

All the best.

Niall.

declare

  v_clob clob;

begin

  v_clob := apex_web_service.make_rest_request('https://res.cloudinary.com/longacre/image/upload/v1570729025/niall_haedip.jpg','GET');

end;

22921. 00000 -  "length of input buffer is smaller than amount requested"

*Cause:    The buffer length is not big enough to hold the amount of data

           requested.

*Action:   Verify that the number of bytes/characters specified in the

           input amount parameter is not bigger than the number of bytes

           specified in the input buffer length parameter.  Allocate more

           space for the input buffer if necessary.
