HTTP Request (XML)

[#1]

I want to send a XML based HTTP Request via SOAP to a web server.

Can I do this in Jmp?

[#2 · Accepted solution]

Haven't used SOAP but isn't it basically sending XML? Might have to tinker a bit with headers but this seemed to work

Names Default To Here(1);

request = New HTTP Request(
	URL("https://www.dataaccess.com/webservicesserver/NumberConversion.wso"),
	Method("POST"),
	Headers({"Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8"}),
	Text(
"\[<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <NumberToWords xmlns="http://www.dataaccess.com/webservicesserver/">
      <ubiNum>500</ubiNum>
    </NumberToWords>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>]\"
	)
);
data = request << Send;
Open(Char To Blob(data), "xml");

New HTTP Request( Text () ??

 

It is too often that I stop here ...

What to do instead:

or even:

[#5]

Using XML didn't work for me when using that endpoint so I did use Text and then modified headers to get it working.

[#6]

Seems that they fixed it - On my System (v17.1) it also works with XML(...)

Is there some explanation about the differences between Text and XML?

It could make a difference for 

is valid()

But I just checked it by destroying the XML syntax a bit and it was still "valid" for the xml(...) case ...
So, actually I don't know what is checked by IsValid()
