Oracle SQL | Very simple oracle package for HTTPS and HTTP

I don’t like to import certificates, so i cannot use httpuritype for HTTPS pages and I decided to create package which will work with https as http.
It was pretty easy with java stored procedures 🙂
github/XT_HTTP

java source: xt_http.jsp

create or replace and compile java source named xt_http as
package org.orasql.xt_http;

import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;

import java.sql.Connection;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
import oracle.sql.CLOB;
 

public class XT_HTTP {

   /**
    * Function getPage
    * @param String Page URL
    * @return String
    */
    public static CLOB getPage(java.lang.String sURL)
    throws java.sql.SQLException
     {
        OracleDriver driver = new OracleDriver();
        Connection conn     = driver.defaultConnection();
        CLOB result         = CLOB.createTemporary(conn, false, CLOB.DURATION_CALL);
        result.setString(1," ");
        try {
            URL url = new URL(sURL);
            HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
            //HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();
            if(con!=null){
                BufferedReader br =
                        new BufferedReader(
                                new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                String line;
                while ((line = br.readLine()) != null){
                    sb.append(line);
                }
                br.close();
                result.setString(1,sb.toString());
            }
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            result.setString(1, e.getMessage());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            result.setString(1, e.getMessage());
        }
        return result;
    }
    
    public static java.lang.String getString(java.lang.String sURL) {
        String result="";
        try {
            URL url = new URL(sURL);
            HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
            if(con!=null){
                BufferedReader br =
                        new BufferedReader(
                                new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                String line;
                while ((line = br.readLine()) != null){
                    sb.append(line);
                }
                br.close();
                result = sb.toString().substring(0,3999);
            }
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            return e.getMessage();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            return e.getMessage();
        }
        return result;
    }

package xt_http

create or replace package XT_HTTP is
/**
 * Get page as CLOB
 */
  function get_page(pURL varchar2)
    return clob
    IS LANGUAGE JAVA
    name 'org.orasql.xt_http.XT_HTTP.getPage(java.lang.String) return oracle.sql.CLOB';

/**
 * Get page as varchar2(max=4000 chars)
 */
  function get_string(pURL varchar2)
    return varchar2
    IS LANGUAGE JAVA
    name 'org.orasql.xt_http.XT_HTTP.getString(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
    
end XT_HTTP;

We have to grant connection permissions:

dbms_java.grant_permission(
   grantee           => 'XTENDER'                       -- username
 , permission_type   => 'SYS:java.net.SocketPermission' -- connection permission
 , permission_name   => 'ya.ru:443'                     -- connection address and port
 , permission_action => 'connect,resolve'               -- types
);

And now we can easily get any page:

USAGE example:
declare
  c clob;
  s varchar2(8000);
begin
  --- Through HTTPS as CLOB:
  c:=xt_http.get_page('https://google.com');

  --- Through HTTP as CLOB
  c:=xt_http.get_page('http://ya.ru');
  
  --- Through HTTPS as varchar2:
  s:=xt_http.get_string('https://google.com');

  --- Through HTTP as varchar2
  s:=xt_http.get_string('http://ya.ru');
end;

select length( xt_http.get_page('https://google.com') ) page_size from dual
