Re: http_post question

Tim,

There's no 'authorization' option in HTTPAPI for http_setOption(), so that won't do anything.

Instead, use http_setAuth() to set authorization.  If you run the string you're providing into a base64 decoder, you'll see that it consists of a userid and password separated by a colon character. (In your case, this appears to be hex data, which makes things a little more complicated, since it'll get translated from EBCDIC to UTF-8 which will change the values.  Ugh.  So you have to figure out what EBCDIC values will translate to the same UTF-8/ASCII value the site requires.)

If you can't use http_setAuth(), then you have to use http_xproc() to add a custom header.
