web service, I can not get the xml string

[ramiro]

Hi,
I am creating a web service with C8 and NetTalk 6.08.
No use Xfiles, the problem is I can not get the XML string to parse and generate a response, in the log of the web server the POST full featured, no problem, the source code I have is:

...
  p_web.SetValue('_parentPage','reservaciones')
  p_web.publicpage = 1
  if p_web.sessionId = 0 then p_web.NewSession().
  ! Start of "Before Header"
  ! [Priority 5000]
 
  ! End of "Before Header"
  do Header
! [Priority 1200]
  xmlrequest = p_web.GetValue('xml')
  xmlLenght = len(clip(xmlrequest))
 
  packet = ''
  do ProcesaRequest
  ! envía resultado
  XmlRespLen = len(clip(XmlResp))
  p_web.ParseHTML(XmlResp,1,XmlRespLen,Net:NoHeader)


to check the contents of the variable XMLRequest find it empty

Thanks
best regards

what do all the headers of the POST look like?

And you might want to at least update to the latest build of NT6 - I can imagine there are many bugs in 6.08 that have been fixed since then.

Hi Bruce,
Thank You for your replay.
This is the POST as seen in the log, the test was performed with the NetDemo.
With regard to updating NetTalk6,  I pay for it?  Thank You.

The Xml value is not being populated because the following header is "wrong".

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

It should be

Content-Type: text/xml
or
Content-Type: application/soap+xml

There is another variable one can use for "non xml" content types;
p_web.GetValue('_postdata_')
But I don't think this is available in NetTalk 6.

>> With regard to updating NetTalk6,  I pay for it?
Yes, NetTalk 8 is a Paid upgrade. And NetTalk now requires Stringtheory as well.
