RE: Debug file error 400 using HTTPAPI

["Holmes, Worth" <WHolmes1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Scott, I tried that, and then removed the %trim on the 3rd
   parameter...


   It WORKED~!!!  J


   Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.


   I just knew it was something stupid I was doing.  The site returned
   the correct XML and the XML-INTO operand did it's thing.


   You deserve a BIG GOLD STAR for the work you've done in developing
   HTTPAPI and for your simple explanation of the use of XML-INTO.


   Thanks again,

   Looking at your debug file again, I noticed this detail:

   Content-Type: text/xml


   Since the data you're sending is not XML, I wonder why this is set
   this

   way?  Perhaps this is confusing the server you're sending to?


   Please try this:


     rc = http_url_post('http://www.experian.com/ais/servlets/VHRXML'

                       : myPointer

                       : dataSize

                       : %trim(Filename)

                       : HTTP_TIMEOUT

                       : HTTP_USERAGENT

                       : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');


   That 7th parameter controls the content-type.  You need to tell the

   server that your data is URL encoded form data rather than XML.  I
   don't

   know if that's the cause of the problem, but it sure looks suspicious.
