RE: url encode http_url_get_raw
Robert,
>From the debug log for USPSVERIFY (program in message). I cut off the GET line, but you can see the XML part and you can see the encoding %3C.
GET /ShippingAPItest.dll?API=Verify&XML=%3CAddressValidateRe...
Host: testing.shippingapis.com
So this is pretty typical GET to the host test.shippingapis.com. The host is expecting two parameters (API and XML). The URI put together would look like this:
http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPItest.dll?API=Verify&XML=%3CAddressValidateRe...
The ShippingAPItest.dll is a pointer to some program that runs on the server and the parameters start after the "?". The first parameter is API. The next parameter is delimited by the "&". There you see the encoded parameter from the program XML. This is standard GET version of passing parameters.
> what would this need to be for a typical GET set of parameters?
There is no typical GET set of parameters. That depends on your service. What are you connecting to? What is it expecting for parms? Following the outline above, you would have something like
http://Host/pointerToProgram?parm1=encodedparmValue1&parm2=encodedparmValue2
