texte = Govinda, I have looked at some of these tags and think I might need to use them. Gue= ss I am really just lost when it comes down to how to send a request and ju= st get some kind of response back, even if it is an error message from them= , at least I would know that I am "talking" with their server... I have pl= ayed around with the [TCPonnect] commands but just get a "Error" couldn't c= onnect to host" message. Again, I am not even sure if this is the right roa= d to go down... The vendor I am trying to connect with does provide a "test Tool" when I ca= n paste the code (PNArequest below) and it does give a valid response. But = I don't know how to get my server to talk to them to get the same response = back.

You make webdna generate whatever text you need to look like whatever you need it to look like (whether HTML, javascript, XML, or anything.) There are also special XML tags in webdna, like [XMLNodes] and others.. but I have never looked into them.. They may make your job even easier. (in reading or writing xml.. ?) also there is a tag called [TCPConnect] you can use to connect directly to a server. But if you are just posting a form to them though, then you do not need that. dive in and ask more Q's as you encounter them. maybe read something introductory about XML so you can separate out Webdna Q's from XML Q's. -Govinda On Sep 10, 2009, at 4:49 PM, Mark Bergkvist wrote: > Not sure if anyone can help, but I need to connect to a supplier via > XML using an HTTP-POST command to get pricing information from. > > I know nothing about XML and not even sure if this is a WebDNA > question. > > Here is the sample document they sent me to work with.
