RE: Reading an XML post
Paul Thanks for the response, but I am unclear on a few things: Apparently the GetHTTPRequestData() allows you to access an XML (SOAP) packet that has been sent to you in an HTTP header... eliminating the need for a form post. If I wanted to code both ends of this application to application transmission in CF 5: how would the sender create the HTTP header to be sent to the receiver? how would the sender send it to the receiver? how would the receiver create a response header? cfheader? how would the receiver return the response? Are there any references or examples of doing both ends of this with CF? TIA Dick At 8:12 PM -0700 8/14/01, Paul Mone wrote: Dick, Yes, you can post most XML packets via an HTML Form.

Are there any references or examples of doing both ends of this with CF? When you use HTTP as a SOAP transport mechanism, the SOAP envelope is typically placed not within an HTTP header, but within the body of an HTTP POST request. Here's what that might look like: POST /team/webcontrols/mathservice.asmx HTTP/1.0 SOAPAction: http://tempuri.org/Add Content-Type: text/xml Referer: http://localhost/soap/dhtmlclient/mathservicedemo.html Content-Length: 476 User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows.NT.5.0) Host: www.fmexpense.com Connection: Keep-Alive Pragma: no-cache ?xml version='1.0'? SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/; xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance; xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema; SOAP-ENV:Body Add xmlns='http://tempuri.org/' a xsi:type=xsd:int SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/; 5 /a b xsi:type=xsd:int SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/; 3 /b /Add /SOAP-ENV:Body /SOAP-ENV:Envelope The problem with reading the body of the POST prior to CF 5 is that it's expecting typical form variable encoding - name-value pairs.

(Remember, our customer is sending the XML file as an HTTP post) Unfortunately, the answer is, it depends. If you have any control over what the customer will post, you might be able to have them rework it so that it follows the traditional format for posted data within a form - that is, simply sticking something like this in front of the XML body of the POST request: myvar= That's a crappy solution, though, even if it does work. As an alternative, you might use something other than CF to receive the POST request - I've used ASP in the past for this. I don't think there's much else you can do. I'm just glad they've addressed this in CF 5 - I could do this with ASP when it came out.

RE: Reading an XML post
hmmm If you can get them to send you a WDDX file (which is just a standard packaging DTS for XML), then you can use CFHTTP to read the file contents into a variable, run the WDDX2CFM function to convert it into a recordset for you, then use it as a plain jane Cold Fusion recordset.
