Robert,
I pasted that xml in from their example. I understand the "one
liner", thanks!
It is definitely the length of the GET that's causing the
problem. I can reliably recreate it by sending 2000+ character packets.
Of course this problem arises the Friday before a Monday site
launch, just my luck! So I guess the client can only book one
hotel room at a time until I figure out a solutionÂ….

That xml is not going to work in a get argument. must be one line, like:
<@assign local$xml "<root><node1>data</node1><node2>data</node2></root>">
<@url
"<http://someurl.com/path/file.php?foo=bar&xml=>http://someurl.com/path/file.php?foo=bar&xml=<@var
local$xml encoding=url>">

Hi Scott,
Well, they don't tell me much. This is hotels.com, so there has to
be a lot of people that get it to work.
I found this so far:
All requests (except Reservations) made to TravelNow.com should be
made to the following URL:
<http://www.travelnow.com/external/xmlinterface.jsp?cid=x&;>http://www.travelnow.com/external/xmlinterface.jsp?cid=x&;
resType=hotel200631&intfc=ws&xml=z
Reservation requests MUST be made to this secure URL:
<https://www.travelnow.com/external/xmlinterface.jsp?cid=x&;>https://www.travelnow.com/external/xmlinterface.jsp?cid=x&;
resType=hotel200631&intfc=ws&xml=z
* parameter x is equal to the IAN affiliate ID assigned to your account
* parameter z is equal to the XML data TravelNow.com is
responsible for processing.
<http://www.travelnow.com/external/xmlinterface.jsp>http://www.travelnow.com/external/xmlinterface.jsp?cid=1&resType=hotel200631&intfc=ws&xml=<HotelSessionRequest
method='runHotelAvailabilityListQuery'>

As usual, thanks!

Hi Chuck,
Unfortunately there is an unspecified limit to how long you can
make a URL. GET requests were never meant to support long strings
of data, thus the POST request. People try, but eventually
somewhere in the URL's travels a proxy, router or gateway somewhere
will start truncating the URL.
Are you sure you're interpretting the webservice's specs correctly?
Do you have any more information you can post?
Let us know, when you have time.
Scott,
