RE: http_parse_xml_stmf issue (missing expected returned content)

[Roger Nassar <roger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott.
This is what I ended up doing while waiting for somebody to respond.
I take it the &lt and &gt made the content of the "lower" level tags visible
to the endtag handler.
This is clear.
Thanks for the feedback & keep up the good work...
Roger

Hi Roger,

EXAMPLE17 is an example of a document where one XML tag contained a string.
That string contained another XML document.  So as sent over the network it
would be something like:

<mytag>&lt;mydoc&gt;data here&lt;/mydoc&gt;</mytag>

(Hopefully the formatting of the above doesn't get messed up by the 
e-mail system).   The idea is that an XML tag can contain any data...  
and that data can, itself, be another XML document (if the special symbols
are properly escaped.)

So when HTTPAPI parses the above documnet, it'd call  the "end handler" 
for the mytag tag, and it'd pass "<mydoc>data here</mydoc>" in the value
parameter.  (the tags are automatically un-escaped by the XML parser, but
are not parsed.)

You would then save the output of that "inner" XML document to a variable or
file, and then parse it again.  EXAMPLE17 demonstrates this entire process.

Your document, however, does NOT contain an XML document that has been
embedded inside another XML document.  Instead, it's just a very simple XML
document containing the values.  You, therefore, do not have to jump through
these extra hoops. Just save the data you need from the various tags you
receive.

hope that helps...
