Re: UPS - Time in Transit

   For RSS feeds, if you are at least 7.1 and DB group 23 you can use the
   SQL HTTP functions.  See below link.

   I have taken those examples and plugged in different RSS feed
   addresses.

   A good public web service to consume, that would also solve a business

     problem for people, would be some of UPS's public web services.  For

     instance, I have an app the retrieves the Time In Transit for a

     particular weight of a box going to and from particular zip codes
     etc.

   I think that UPS is a very practical choice -- a lot of people could
   use
   this sort of thing.
   The problem is, it's not public.  You have to register with them, get a
   developer key, etc.
   One thing that I did think of is RSS feeds...  there are a lot of
   public
   RSS feeds, maybe I could do sample programs that use those.  You still
   have to parse XML, though, which makes it hard to do a beginner's
   sample
   -- you have to first spend a few weeks learning XML parsing THEN you
   can
   finally use HTTPAPI :)
