Re: Formatting an XML request and receiving the XML response
I've already explained why this isn't working (6 days ago!) please read
point (b) in the following e-mail message:
http://www.scottklement.com/archives/ftpapi/200905/msg00110.html
The code that Mike posted was not a valid use of the http_url_encoder()
routines. He created an encoder, but he never asked it to encode anything.
Your code is accessing the wrong URL. why? Because the parts of the
URL that you wanted encoded AREN'T THERE because you didn't send them to
the encoder, and therefore it couldn't add them to the URL.
