Re: http_url_post_xml

["John Clark\(Hotmail\)" <jaclark40@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I changed my program to use the encoder.  Here is an excerpt of the 
code:

D  ADDRESS        S             50
D  ZIPCODE        S             15

Address   = '14 & AMPERSAND % CAREOF';
ZipCode   = '17721';

Enc = http_url_encoder_new();
http_url_encoder_addvar_s(enc:'ADDRESS' : Address);
http_url_encoder_addvar_s(enc:'ZIP_CODE': ZipCode);
EncodedInfo = http_url_encoder_getstr(enc);
http_url_encoder_free(enc);

--------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what variable EncodedInfo equaled afterwards:

'ADDRESS=14+%26+AMPERSAND+%25+CAREOF+++++++++++++++++++++++++'
'++&ZIP_CODE=17721++++++++++             '

I sent this using "http_url_post_xml", but it still didn't work.  If I 
replace all the plus signs with blanks, it does work.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

John
