Re: Question about http_url_post_xml - can I stopped the auto parsing being done?

Hello,
The http_url_post() routine will write the data to the IFS. If you subsequently want it in memory, you can read that IFS file into your program using the standard, IBM-supplied, IFS APIs.
Or, a more complicated way, would be to use the http_url_post_raw() routine. This routine lets you supply your own routine to handle the 'saving' of the data. You can then write a routine that both saves it to a variable in memory and writes it to the IFS as the data comes off the network. This does require you to do more programming, since http_url_post() does a bit more work for you.

    it tries to parse the response for me and not all of my responses will
    be XML. Is there a switch/flag something that would tell this process
    not to parse the response? Below is what I sent and received back in
    the log (SetError() #66: XML parse failed at line 1, col 0: syntax
    error ).
    It may be that while reviewing the different POST option that I missed
    the one I should be using for this.
    Thanks in advance for any help that you can give,
