Re: http_url_post_xml and REST

I have that in there. Thanks though!

I hard coded it just during my original attempts to get it running.



It's running now. Just have an error with the XML (or their server says there's an error).



I was looking in the httpapi_debug.txt file and noticed that the filename line is missing a double quote at the end of the filename. I doubt that is causing my issue...


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><error>XML Error: Fatal error: Start tag expected, '&lt;' not found at :1.</error>

Jay,

I know you've gotten past this point already, but... one tip for you
with regard to the following code:

if (rc <> 1);
     msg = http_error(err);
     dsply msg;
     if err<>36;
        callp http_crash();
        return;
     endif;
     exsr $getPassword;
endif;

There are named constants in HTTPAPI_H for each error number.  So
instead of coding err<>36, you could code err<>HTTP_NDAUTH.  This is
just easier to read...  HTTP_NDAUTH visually looks like 'Need
Authentication", whereas it's hard to say what '36' means.  Even I
didn't know what it was without looking it up...

It's just a small tip, though... what you have will work okay, it's just
not as nice to read.
