RE: XML parse failed

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Griz,

Yes, that would explain the 404 error.  The http_url_post_xml() API has 
the URL (the asmx one) for the first parameter, and the SOAPAction (the 
GetInfoByZIP part) for the last parameter.

I'm glad you found info in the debug file, that's always one of the first 
places to look.

Another idea, if you want to see what the server is actually returning, is 
to replace http_url_post_xml() with http_url_post().  The parameters are 
slightly different, so see HTTPAPI_H to see what the parameters are.  When 
you use http_url_post(), it won't attempt to parse the XML, but instead 
will download it to a file.

In fact, in the latest version of HTTPAPI (the one I released this past 
weekend) you can parse the XML from an IFS stream file instead of parsing 
it directly from the server, which will make this type of error easier to 
detect. You would just use http_url_post() to download the XML file, and 
http_parse_xml_stmf() to parse the stream file that you downloaded.  Makes 
it easier to see which part is failing, and easier to see the data you're 
getting...
