But that's what I did in the second test. I didn't URL-escape anything, I just let the Perl XML writer escape & with & which is the right thing to do. However when kannel parses the <dlr-url> it doesn't un-escape the & to &. As a result the query URL used by kannel looks like this one below
2010-02-19 21:11:44 [1381] [9] DEBUG: Parsing URL `http://localhost/dump_me.php?send_history_id=13853220&to_number=000000000000&type=8': which produces on my entry point this GET = Array ( [send_history_id] => 13853220 [amp;to_number] => 000000000000 [amp;type] => 8 ) Note the amp;to_number for example. If the dlr-url was escaped properly this one should have just been to_number . Finally in third and last test I produced an illegal XML by not escaping the & and it worked: 2010-02-19 21:28:18 [1381] [9] DEBUG: Parsing URL `http://localhost/dump_me.php?send_history_id=13853221&to_number=3538706323 46&type=8': and on my entry point GET = Array ( [send_history_id] => 13853221 [to_number] => 000000000000 [type] => 8 ) The issue is that I need to use an invalid XML to produced the right result. The problem is related to non un-escaping the <dlr-url> element. Oscar On Sat, Feb 20, 2010 at 2:09 AM, Nikos Balkanas <n...@amdtelecom.net> wrote: > So, in XML POST you shouldn't urlencode anything.
