Re: QSYS2.HTTP_GET problem with the USPS APIs

Yep, your solution moves me forward.

Now I get always get error 80040B18 "An error has occurred with the 
service. Please contact the administrator or try again."
Same message whether or not I use a valid or invalid USERID. So I deduce 
the XML is correct and being accepted.

Perhaps the service is down.  Will do some more research and 
experimentation.

Thanks you for your help.
