Hi Steve, Have a look at www.xmlrpc.com , if you haven't already. It's simple stuff, and believe me, I'm no programming giant either!! :-) I'm a bit surprised that Dave didn't mention it! Bill >>> Stephen Young <steve@n...> 03/19 8:39 PM >>> Hi Guys I'm trying find a way to send and receive XML using HTTP POST. You'd think it would be simple, but my low level programming skills are struggling with the task. I work in a Microsoft environment, and I have two methods that work, but they both involve sending the XML as an array (Safe Array) of bytes. One sends an MSXML3 DOMDocument and the other does a unicode converion of the bytes at each end. 1) I don't imagine that either method will make it easy for non-Microsoft apps to communicate and 2) There's gotta be an easier way - I'm just having a mental block on what it is ;-) A simple solution is to forget using POST altogether, and either do the GET double round trip thing, or pass the XML in a querystring. There has to be a better way. I've taken a look at a few objects for the purpose (eg. MS SOAP stuff) but I don't want to limit communication methods at this early stage. A simple method to initiate a transaction by sending an XML document is all I'm looking for. Any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------ The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To unsubscribe from this elist send a message with the single word "unsubscribe" in the body to: xml-dev-request@l...
