RE: Help with new method?
Thomas,
Thanks for the simple explanation of the FALSE parm. You are correct that
this example code is VBScript. However, rather than from shipwire, this is
a nearly identical example from the Con-way Freight Rating tools. Examples
are also available in Cold Fusion, Java, JSP, Perl, PHP and a few others.
I'm still a bit hazy regarding exactly which functions (procedures) to call
from HTTPAPI. From using Example7 to get a successful login, it appears
that we must begin with http_setauth. We are unsure exactly which method(s)
to use after that. We do want to parse the XML reply. Can you suggest
which modules to call or which HTTPAPI example program best demonstrates the
necessary steps to interact with this company's offering?

Alvin and Scott,
I assume that the programming language of the example code is VBScript and
the the complete example is taken from here:
http://www.shipwire.com/exec/XML_Order_ASP_sample_code.htm
A description of the "open" methof of "ServerXMLHTTP" can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms763809%28VS.85%29.aspx
Regading to that description the "false" indicates a synchronous call
which is exactly what HTTP API does.
<quote>
bAsync(optional)
Boolean. Indicator as to whether the call is asynchronous.
The default is False (the call does not return immediately).
