Thanks Dave, Yes, my original plan was to use ns_httpspost, but Jeff Rogers pointed out that ns_httppost uses name-value pairs, so if I understood it correctly for the SOAP request I want to make, I can't use that?

Unfortunately it's not working for me with that particular StockQuote web service. Now I know the web service is quite slow but it works fine with the sockets approach. I tried different timeouts but no joy. I wonder is it my AOLserver's (4.0.10) version of ns_http? I can't seem to find any free web services to test against - that webserviceX.NET is very slow. My other question is - I'm hoping to do an SSL version once I have the basic code working. I don't think there's a HTTPS version of ns_http, is there? At least there is an SSL version of ns_sockopen (ns_openssl_sockopen). Would that be the way to go? There is ns_httpsget and ns_httpspost in ns_openssl.

Hi Brian, ns_httppost does url-encoding of the name-value pairs you pass in as qsset. For SOAP you need to just post the xml message, not as a name-value pair. If you sniffed the actual request you're sending with ns_httppost it would be something like Message=<?xml version="1.0" ..... Try using ns_http queue instead. set rqid [ns_http queue POST http://www.webserviceX.NET/stockquote.asmx $soap_request $rqset] ns_http wait $rqid result http://panoptic.com/wiki/aolserver/Ns_http for reference. -J Fenton, Brian wrote: > Hi > > I`m having some difficulties that hopefully somebody here could assist me > with.
