RE: Formatting an XML request and receiving the XML response
Hi Scott,
Sorry, as I've said before, this is new enough to me that I really
don't know what I'm doing. Thanks for pointing those items out. I
understand what you're telling me and it makes sense, but I'm not sure
HOW to send the appropriate elements of the URL to the encoder. I've
spent some time looking over the httpapi url encoding routines, and
could really use an example of what you're describing. I think would
make much more sense to me if I could see it in code. If you wouldn't
mind doing a little spoon-feeding, I'd be grateful, and I'm confident
I'll be able to pick up on the concept...
Thanks!
Rich
