Re: Question on using the HTTPAPI to receive a GUID

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

   GUID's are 128bit (16 byte) integer values...
   However, 8 byte integers are the largest most systems support.� So
   GUIDs are normally treated as a 16 byte binary string.
   When passing between systems, they are usually passed as a human
   readable hexadecimal string of either 32 bytes (no dashes) or 36 bytes
   (with dashes)
   x'c67c7891-267b-42fc-a5da-2ebd30b566fc'
   You'll have to see what the web server is returning and simply pass it
   back in your next request.
   If the web service is using a 16 byte binary string, be careful that
   you don't try to translate it into EBCDIC.�   Charles
