Re: duplicate calls to web service

["Kim Gibson" <kgibson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Scott, I thought I had was returning to the calling program if
the http_url_post_xml() returned an error, but obviously was not. Bah!

I'm still not receiving a response, and am eventually timing out, even
after setting the timeout to 180 seconds. The debug file follows:

==================================

Our Underwriting department can run this process themselves from a web
browser, and they tell me that it can take several minutes to receive a
result. I'm going to call the web services tech support people to make
sure they're receiving my requests. Thanks so much for your help, Scott.
