Re: Parser error

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Richard,

The error message is basically telling you that the data you've received 
from your web service is not a valid XML document.

At least for debugging purposes, please try changing http_url_post_xml() 
to simply http_url_post().  This will download the response to a stream 
file in the IFS (and won't try to parse it as an XML document) so you 
can inspect what you're receiving.

The parameters to http_url_post() are a little different from 
http_url_post_xml(), so please look at HTTPAPI_H to learn about the 
parameters.

If that doesn't set you on the right path, please make a debug log. 
Right now the only information we have is that the response from the web 
service doesn't start with a valid XML element.
