Re: Trying to get program name from First Data company.
Hi Austin,
I think we had a misunderstanding. When you sent this issue to me in
private e-mail, and you had provided less detail, I thought that since
you were doing web services, you'd be using HTTPAPI. So I said "If you
have a question about HTTPAPI, please use the mailing list..."
But now I see that you aren't using HTTPAPI, or any of my software at
all. You've written your own software.
So there's the misunderstanding... I asked you to use this mailing
list because I thought you were using HTTPAPI, but you're not... and so
this is off-topic for the mailing list.
Your question "Should First Data be able to provide me with a web
program name that I can run my XML code against?" doesn't make much
sense to me.
HTTP doesn't work on the basis of program names. It works on the basis
of URI's. You give an HTTP tool a URI, and it parses the URI, contacts
the appropriate server, and makes the appropriate request. You suggest
that a program name is needed... and I really don't know where you got
that from -- but program names aren't typically used as part of an HTTP
request. Though, it's possible that part of a URI will mention a
particular program, that's certainly not always the case.
Apparently, they told you to use a URI of
https://staging1.datawire.net/sd and I don't understand your objection
to this URI. Keep in mind: I don't work for FirstData.... indeed, I
know absolutely nothing about them. I don't know what the URI is
supposed to be. It may be right, and it may be wrong... I have no way
of knowing! But, it is a syntactically valid URI... so, if it's what
they told you to use, I don't understand why you're objecting.
You then proceeded to say that you wrote an XML file that does a PING
from a PC... and at that point, I got completely lost. XML is a data
format, it's not a programming language. You can't write a PING utility
in XML... that makes no sense. But even if you meant something else
(like a .BAT file, for example) the notion of using PING to interact
with an HTTP server is pure nonsense. PING works at the ICMP level, it
knows nothing of TCP, much less HTTP (which is built on top of TCP).
So I can't figure out what PING has to do with the price of tea in
China...
Then you started talking about 'listeners' and 'handlers' and I got even
more lost.
Anyway, since you're not using HTTPAPI, I really can't help you further.
I don't know how your software works, and there's little chance that I
ever will -- so I don't see how I can debug it for you. Likewise, I
don't work for FirstData, and therefore I don't know how their side is
supposed to work.
Really, you need to discuss that with THEM.
