I have used the FEDEX API on two ecommerce sites for several years now.
I will be out of town until after Thanksgiving, but would be happy to help
out when I return.
I can tell you that the API does expect xml and returns xml.
I have a bound copy of the API that you are welcome to if needed as the
online version can be overwhelming.
If you don't find your answers be sure to contact me and I will gladly help.
