[Ftpapi] A newbie



I need to send notification(s) to a web site based on sales orders submitted to our back-end ERP system and have installed HTTPAPI for this purpose.  This is my first experience with HTTP and I would like some help in learning about it.

 

I have looked at the examples, and have had limited success with a modified EXAMPLE4 to send something to myself.  But it would help a lot if I knew what is going on under the covers of HTTP.

 

My assumption is that the URL specified in a POST request somehow identifies to the server the function that will receive and process the post data.  Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

But I don’t know what needs to be done on my end to access and process any reply to my post.  Is there documentation somewhere that discusses this?  My searches on “http” and “post” tell me lots about HTML pages, but nothing about replies to post requests.

 

Any input you provide will be appreciated.

 

Thank you,

 

Leo Burkett
