Perhaps they mean "include the parameter in the http request string"? e.g. https://mercury.shiplandmark.com/api/api.php/RQXML=somename.xml <https://mercury.shiplandmark.com/api/api.php/RQXML=somename.xml> to help their application further identify the request. ________________________________ From: ftpapi-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Vicki Seaberg Sent: Fri 12/11/2009 11:37 AM To: ftpapi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Post with a parameter Hello All, I have blindly but successfully implemented several applications using Scott's HTTPAPI programs. They work beautifully. Now I am trying to communicate with a new vendor who is asking me to include "a parameter RQXML=<your xml document> with the regular POST method to their HTTPS URL". I am lost in understanding what is meant by defining a variable named "RQXML" to define the xml string. My vendor says they will not be able to capture the XML string without the RQXML variable. I have no idea how to do this. I have already tried a variety of things with no success. A code snippet of my latest attempt is as follows: ......previous code that loads the "postdata" field.... postdata += '</Items>' + '</ShipRequest>'; RQXML = 'RQXML=' + %trim(postdata); rc = http_url_post_xml ('https://mercury.shiplandmark.com/api/api.php' : %addr(RQXML) + 2 : %len(RQXML) : %paddr(StartOfElement) : %paddr(EndOfElement) : *NULL ); This isn't what my vendor needs and isn't able to offer any guidance. I would really, really appreciate any insight with this. Thank you so much!! Vicki Seaberg Swanson Health Products
