Struggling with WebServices

["Clifton Brown" <chb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   We have successfully used http_url_post_stmf to interface with a
   credit card provider to request an approval and get one back.


   On a different project, we need to accept web service requests when
   someone wants to file a document with us electronically.  We use the
   CGIDEV2 library and the module QtmhRdStin to handle incoming requests
   for our internet public search system and modified it to handle the
   incoming web service and write it to a string file.  All that is
   working fine.


   Here is the problem:

   To reply to the request, we create XML strings and use QtmhWrStout to
   respond to the requestor.  We are being told by the requestor that the
   XML is arriving in a "jumbled" format as follows:


   HTTP/1.1 200 OK

   Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2008 21:19:33 GMT

   Server: Apache

   <soap12: Envelope

   xmlns: xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";,
   xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";,
   soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";>

   Content-Type: text/xml content-length:14522<?xml version="1.0"
   encoding="utf-8"?>; charset=ISO-8859-1

   Content-length: 756

   Connection: close


     <soap12:Header>....(the rest of the XML is OK).


   The problem seems to be that the Content-Type: text/xml
   content-length:14522 is mixed in with the XML but it isn't when we
   create the string going out.


   I guess my first question is whether we should be using QtmhWrStout to
   write the XML and if not, then what should we use?  If it is
   acceptable to use it, any clues as to why it is rearranging the data?


   Thanks for any help on this.  We have been struggling with it for over
   two months now.
