RE: HTTPAPI for UPS Rate

[Mike Krebs <mkrebs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

StartofElement and EndofElement are invoked for each element of the XML returned by UPS. StartofElement when <someelement is found and EndOfElement when </someelement is found. You told it to do this in the http_url_post_xml at 130.

So, then it just a matter of figuring out what the XML looks like when it is returned to you and adapting those two procedures. The current setup you have will increment a counter (act) when it sees an element call Currencycode inside the path /RatingServiceSelectionResponse/RatedShipment/TransportationCharges/. The path being the XML elements shown in a "path" format. StartofElement does not know what is in CurrencyCode; it just knows that it is there (at that point in the XML). The EndOfElement knows where it is and what the last value was. So, it can pull the data out of the elements Date, Time, Description, etc. The data (in your current program) would be returned in the activity DS (from there you could return the values to your program in your ALIST).

If you have the WSDL for the UPS service, it should show you the "path" information as well as the actual fields you are interested. If not, send the debug listing and we can make some guesses about how to get those values.

Good luck
