Hi Scott,

What is that wrong with the old EXAMPLE5? Of course it is easier to use http_url_post_xml() as demonstrated in your recent EXAMPLE14. But the key is that people ask for a "raw" example for whatever reasons.

If your EXAMPLE5 is bad, then my EXAMPLE28 is not better.

The only problem I see with EXAMPLE5 is that is uses http_xlate() instead of http_xlatedyn(). As far as I understand both procdures, http_xlate() is used for converting the protocol data, such as headers, whereas http_xlatedyn() is intended to be used for converting the POST data.

So what could be a good example for using http_url_post_raw()?

Regards,

Thomas.

It was removed because it is an awful example, and there is another UPS example that is much better.
