Re: QSYS2.HTTP_GET problem with the USPS APIs

[Jack Woehr <jwoehr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

GOT IT TO WORK.

   1. REMOVE "header":"Content type,charset=UTF-8" (and of course the comma
   that precedes this header element)
   2. INCLUDE a value for *every* element even if it's nonsense. You
   *cannot* omit Zip4 for example.

With my brand new USERID (not shown below) this works and the returned XML
correctly alters the nonsense Zip4 value I provided for Absolute
Performance, Inc.'s "World HQ":

values QSYS2.HTTP_GET('http://production.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPI.dll'
concat '?API=Verify&XML=' concat
url_encode(
'<AddressValidateRequest USERID="xxxxxxxxx"><Address ID="0"><Address1>Suite
100</Address1><Address2>12303 Airport
Way</Address2><City>Broomfield</City><State>CO</State><Zip5>80021</Zip5><Zip4>1234</Zip4></Address></AddressValidateRequest>'),
'{
"header":"Content-Type,text/xml",
"header":"Accept,*"
}'
)
;
