Hi Rob,
I am sorry, I somehow missed your response until this evening and in the mean
time have figured out lots of new ways to have this fail shrug.
Anyway, I looked at your sample and came up with the following updates and it
works but I am interested to hear your input on how I can improve it.
#!/opt/csw/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP;
use XML::Smart;
use CGI;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent-new;
my $q = new CGI;
my $doc = XML::Smart-new();
$doc-{PHC_LOGIN}{USERID} = ‘john.doe';
$doc-{PHC_LOGIN}{USERID}-set_node(1);
$doc-{PHC_LOGIN}{USERPASSWORD} = ‘FAKEPASSWORD;
$doc-{PHC_LOGIN}{USERPASSWORD}-set_node(1);
$doc-{PHC_LOGIN}{PARTNERID} = ‘111';
$doc-{PHC_LOGIN}{PARTNERID}-set_node(1);
$doc-save('passport.xml');
my $sendXML = passport.xml;
my $message=;
open (XML,$sendXML);
while (XML) {
$message .=$_;
}
close XML;
my $webpage =https://example.com/members/LoginNet/AutoLogin.aspx;;
$ua-proxy('https', 'http://proxy.exampe.net:8080/');
my $resp = $ua-post($webpage, Content_Type = 'text/xml', Content = $message);
my $xml = XML::Smart-new($resp-decoded_content);
my $dest = $xml-{PHC_LOGIN}{REDIRECTURL};
print Location: $dest\n\n;

Hi,
Hi,
I have some sample code that posts some XML content to an URL using
LWP agent and XML Smart. The response to this comes back as some
custom XML. I now need to try and parse the response and find the
REDIRECTURL value and redirect the client to that destination.
I am having issues parsing the output here is what I have tried.
my $response = $ua-post($webpage, Content_Type = 'text/xml',
Content = $message); $response-decoded_content;
if ($response-is_success) { my $xml = new XML::Smart(
$resonse-content , 'XML::Smart::HTMLParser' ); my $xml = new
XML::Smart( $resonse-content , 'html' ); print \n\n
FOUND:$xml\n; # comes back with a null value
## # another
attempt below ###
my $response = $ua-post($webpage, Content_Type = 'text/xml',
Content = $message); $response-decoded_content;
if ($response-is_success) { my $html = $response-content; while (
$html =~/REDIRECT/g ) { print I found: $1\n; } else { print
“nothing found\n”; };
The find the value REDIRECT as the script prints out “I found: “ and
not “nothing found” but I need the url value….
Here is a sample of what the xml looks like that I am trying to
parse.
PHC_LOGIN\r VERSION3.0/VERSION\r
PARTNERID11/PARTNERID\r USERLOGINJohn.doe/USERLOGIN\r
ERROR_CODE0/ERROR_CODE\r ERROR_DESCRIPTIONLogin
Successful/ERROR_DESCRIPTION\r
REDIRECTURLhttps://example.com/cust/login.asp/REDIRECTURL\r
/PHC_LOGIN
There are a few problems here. I am concentrating on your first attempt,
as regular expressions are very rarely an appropriate way of processing XML.
- You need to save the content of the incoming message so that you can
pass it to the parser, but you have written
$response-decoded_content
in void context, so the result will be just thrown away
- In the line
my $xml = new XML::Smart( $resonse-content ,
'XML::Smart::HTMLParser' );
you mustn't put the method call in quotation marks.It will try to
stringify `$response` (which, incidentally, you have misspelled) and
result in something like
HTTP::Response=HASH(0x2c68544)-content
Plus, to be safe, you should be calling `decoded_content` instead of
just `content`.
- There is no need to specify a parser in the second parameter unless
you need specific behaviour, so that line should be
my $xml = XML::Smart-new( $resp-decoded_content )
after which you can simply access the elemetn you need using
$xml-{PHC_LOGIN}{REDIRECTURL}
I have put a semi-complete program below. It needs values for $webpage
and $message, but the rest of the code is in place, and it runs fine.
HTH,
Rob
use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.010;
use LWP;
use XML::Smart;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent-new;
my $webpage = '';
my $message = '';
my $resp = $ua-post($webpage, Content_Type = 'text/xml', Content =
$message);
my $xml = XML::Smart-new( $resp-decoded_content );
say $xml-{PHC_LOGIN}{REDIRECTURL};
**output**
https://example.com/cust/login.asp
