Ed,
Thank you very much, I will modify my process accordingly, and let you all know how it comes out.

As Kevin said in his other email, if you need spaces, they should be URL-encoded: %20
It's my experience that parameters are typically separated by ampersands like this, though:
golferMethods.asmx?/op=ClubRoster&username=**********&password=**********&association=***&club=***
You should have some way of seeing this in documentation from the website, possibly even in the response you're getting back.
Ed

Ed,
Yes, I do have spaces, and not ampersands. Should I be using ampersands in between the parameters?

Roger,
I'm a relative newbie to this, but one thing I see is that you have spaces between your parameters, not ampersands. Is that how you're sending the URL or was that just how you edited it for your email?

Hello Scott!
Thank you so much for all of your contributions to the world. Your generosity in sharing your knowledge and time are a tremendous asset to everyone. We are huge fans of yours here at The Villages.
I have been working on invoking the HTTPAPI command from an IBM I command line, and while I can get it to make the connection to the outside server, it is only returning a listing of the available Methods, and not the .xml data I am looking for. I have tried multiple ways, and so far, all I get is the same result.
Here is an example of a “get” I have been running. Any advice, and/or help you can offer will be GREATLY appreciated.
HTTPAPI URL('http://ghp.ghin.com/GHPOnline/DataServices/golferMethods.asmx?/op=ClubRoster username=********** password=********** association=*** club=*** service=*** activeOnly=***** includeLowHandicapIndex=***** includeCombinedClubs=***** returnDistinctMembers=***** type3Only=*****') DOWNLOAD('/meskerr/GHPClubData_Test_04-13-2017_17.xml')
REQTYPE(*GET)
TYPE('text/xml')
PROXYUSER('**********')
PROXYPASS('**********')
DEBUG('/meskerr/xmldebug1H/')
Everything in the URL between the ClubRoster? and the DOWNLOAD are parameters required to access and return the xml data to the IBM I IFS folder. I asterisked out all of the sensitive data within the URL string. Do the parameters within the URL string have to be single or double quoted? I have tried multiple variations of the command, using both Get & Post, and so far, I have not been successful in getting any of them to return the actual data.
NOTE: I even tried SoapUI tool, and still received the same results there.
Best regards,
