RE: Help with new method?
Alvin,
Take a look at EXAMPLE14. Without seeing the documentation for the Con-way service, it is hard to know exactly.
EXAMPLE14 "posts" XML and parses it "interactively". So, assuming the con-way service calls for you to send some XML (post), receive some XML, and you want to parse the XML immediately, this is a good example. You will have to add the authentication from EXAMPLE7 or from Thomas' example code.
If you look at EXAMPLE14, you will find a http_url_post_xml at 130. This is sending the XML data in the postData variable. When the response comes back, the StartOfElement and EndOfElement procedures are invoked for the start of each xml element and the end of each xml element. Again, without understanding what Con-way wants or what your specific requirements are, we have a hard time helping you.
Besides the authentication, yes, it is one statement to send and receive XML.
