The change from %Date to %String influences image of your target table
and may affect implicit ODBC Data transmission that converts eg. +$h to YYY-MM-DD format !

once your data is a %Date again this should do it:
...... VALUES (?,?,?,?)
%Execute($zdh(somedateYYYYMMDD,8),par2,par3,par4)

If you test in SMP you have to check if you are in ODBC, Logical or Display mode.
with TO_DATE() you just overrule this as string are the same in any mode.

For ODBC the date is always 2018-04-25
For Display it's 04/23/2018 or 23.04.2018 depending on your local setting
For Logial it is always 64761 (+$h)

OK.
you got a reply of 149 characters!

And what was the result of ZZDUMP tText?

It should look similar to  this:

ZZDUMP tText

I filled in the marked characters to get to your received size. The real value could help as there is a bunch of controls that could trigger a newline.

The thing looks somehow encoded / encrypted or just binary.
Do you have information on source system ?   (the url is definitely faked)

Classes and Methods forever!

#1) for documentation
#2) for all the possibilities and structural controls of  OO development.
 

#3)
.mac & .int is a left over from a previous millennium,
a (failing) attempt to mimic OO with the mindset of procedural methodology.

I'm personally disappointed that Atelier still supports mac.

It was a historical requirement. Accepted. For last millennium. Eventually still for some internals.
Definitely not for public use.

Robert Cemper · Apr 20, 2018

you didn't get me. The browsers make something unreadable and useless out of it.

That's just rubbish

pls do:

SET tText = tHttpResponse.Data.Read()
ZZDUMP tText
WRITE tHttpResponse.Data.Size

So we see the real HEX_content , eventual control characters, ...  and the received number of characters
Similar to your request the response is encrypted. Eventually,  it can be decoded. 

Robert Cemper · Apr 20, 2018

Following your code example, this might be the quickest workaround

 TEST>set x = ##class(test.msg.struct.TestXML).%New()
 TEST>set x.statusId = "111"
 TEST>set x.service = "222"
 TEST>do ##class(Ens.Util.JSON).ObjectToJSONStream(x, .obj1, "aelotu")
 TEST>write $REPLACE(obj1.Read(),"statusId","status_Id")
{       "status_Id":"111",       "service":"222"}

Not to pretty but useful.

very short:

.NET binding in Caché projects Caché Object classes to .NET with properties and methods
and services them with a private protocol. It is dependent on synchronized objects at both ends.

you may know this picture:

http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GBMP_intro

A RESTful API does something total different.

You define request (for data or actions)  and sent the request to Caché.
And you get it back preferred in JSON style expressed.
Your requests are straight HTTP with someWebServer in between on your way to Caché.

SOAP does something similar. But it has an incredible overhead of XML.
And as with .NET binding you need predefined data structures to be serviced.

In extrem:  With REST you just get back a string / stream and it is up to you to decide what this means:
No predefinded structures. It is all your task to organize yourself.
For .NET end I found this link:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-api/overview/advanced/calling-a-web-api-from-a-net-client
 

For Caché side there are lots of useful articles in the forum already and examples in SAMPLES.

Simple summary:

For RESTapi you will not need 
InterSystems.Data.CacheClient.dll nor generated proxy classes using the Caché Object Binding Wizard for .NET
You are the owner of the exchanged data structures.

Are looking for this?

SELECT JSON_OBJECT('ID':ID,'Column1':COLUMN1,'Column2':COLUMN2,'DataID':DataID) FROM  SQLUser.SampleData

Cache for Windows (x86-64) 2017.2.1 (Build 801U)

Sorry I don't have your data to show your result

somewhat similar. 

SELECT top 3 JSON_OBJECT('name:':Name,'home':HOME_CITY,'dob':DOB) FROm Sample.Person

{"name:":"Smyth,Valery B.","home":"Hialeah","dob":"2001-01-06"}
{"name:":"Jones,Valery E.","home":"Islip","dob":"1959-11-11"}
{"name:":"Newton,David H.","home":"Youngstown","dob":"1969-12-01"}

Or all together:

SELECT '{"result":'||List(xx)||'}' FROM
(SELECT top 3 JSON_OBJECT('name:':Name,'home':HOME_CITY,'dob':DOB) xx
FROM Sample.Person)

{"result":
  {"name:":"Smyth,Valery B.","home":"Hialeah","dob":"01/06/2001"}
 ,{"name:":"Jones,Valery E.","home":"Islip","dob":"11/11/1959"}
 ,{"name:":"Newton,David H.","home":"Youngstown","dob":"12/01/1969"}
}
 

The difference in DOB is just display mode vs. ODBC mode

Sorry you went to CLASSES   not to SQL !!! 
These are different worlds with different rules and syntax.

And while your classname is WINSURGEDMP.WINSURGERESULTFACT

I expect your TABLE to be named WINSURGE_DMP.WINSURGE_RESULT_FACT

It is just by accident if TABLEs and CLASSes have the same name !!!!!
Especially if you refer to an EXTERNAl TABLE in a different (non Caché) database

Robert Cemper · Apr 16, 2018

#1) check that there exists a valid class WINSURGE*...   

#2) in Mgmt Portal > System Explorer > SQL you should see as Table WINSURGE_DMP.WINSURGE_RESULT_FACT

#3) #SQLCompile Path=cancreg 
seems the real source of your problem as it sets a default package cancreg  wherever that may come from

http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GCOS_macros#GCOS_macros_mpp_lbSQLCompile_Path

Eliminate it as your table is already full qualified  WINSURGE_DMP.WINSURGE_RESULT_FACT

In addition :  - VALUES :FIELD()
do you really write to ALL fields of the external table ??? 

Hint:

try to execute your SQL statement first from Mgmt Portal using dummy values before coding with strange macros directives

start with a simple statement to see if the connection works as expected:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM WINSURGE_DMP.WINSURGE_RESULT_FACT

then try:

INSERT INTO WINSURGE_DMP.WINSURGE_RESULT_FACT VALUES (1,2,3,4,5,6)   -- whatever it needs

Robert Cemper · Apr 16, 2018

the WRITE is just to visualize the example

the loop in YOUR class could be: 

 for msg=1:1 set msg(msg)=stream.ReadLine() quit:stream.AtEnd 


but that's just standard COS programming. Nothing special. see here
Then you have the local array msg with your SOAP message
Similiar the Try{ } Catch {}  construct that ignores the error that you experience as you don't get a real SOAP response here.

Robert Cemper · Apr 15, 2018

You may create a normal SOAP Client in Studio using the Wizard.

Then you add a transport class to display / dump your request. (example in SAMPLES)

Class SOAPDemo.Transport Extends %RegisteredObject
{
ClassMethod DoSOAPRequest(
 client As %SOAP.WebClient,
 Action As %String,
 OneWay As %Boolean = 0,
 stream As %FileBinaryStream,
 ByRef responseStream As %GlobalBinaryStream) As %Status
{
    write !,"**** SOAP Request Begin ****",!
    for  write stream.ReadLine(),! quit:stream.AtEnd
    write !,"**** SOAP Request End ****",!
    quit $$$OK
}
}

Example to use it :

SAMPLES>set soap=##class(SOAP.DemoProxy).%New()
 
SAMPLES>set soap.Transport=##class(SOAPDemo.Transport).%New()  ;; add cusomized transport
 
SAMPLES>try {write !,soap.Mission() } catch {}    ;; you don't get a reply, so ignore it
  
**** SOAP Request Begin ****
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns:s='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'>  
<SOAP-ENV:Body><Mission xmlns="http://tempuri.org"></Mission></SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
**** SOAP Request End ****
 
SAMPLES>try {write !,soap.AddInteger(17,4) } catch {}
 
**** SOAP Request Begin ****
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns:s='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'>  
<SOAP-ENV:Body><AddInteger xmlns="http://tempuri.org"><Arg1>17</Arg1><Arg2>4</Arg2></AddInteger></SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
**** SOAP Request End ****
 

so you get Envelope + Body well separated
