Re: HTTPAPI Headers

[Scott Klement <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jerry,

It looks like you copy/pasted from a table or something and the 
formatting was lost in your e-mail, making it very difficult to read.   
I THINK you're saying you need headers like this?

transId: some-32-char-string
transactionSrc: some-512-char-string
AccessLicenseNumber: some-16-char-string
Username: some-16-char-string
Password: some-26-char-string

Is that correct?   I don't understand the code you provided where you 
are doing something with the Authorization header and some complex 
expression that I didn't understand. Or http_setAuth.  Is that related, 
or a separate point?  Can you explain what you want/need to know about 
the Authorization header?   It seems bizarre to me that they would want 
both their own custom headers and also the standard one to do the exact 
same thing.

You also mention web development.  Can you explain how web development 
relates to this?

I'm a bit lost.
