Re: Examples wanted for accessing FedEx or UPS server API's from RPGLE

Thanks Trevor,
I have downloaded the documentation, but since I am not familiar with
creating SOAP requests, or creating the XML to send to the API and parsing
the results, I was hoping for some pointers.

I have received some very useful suggestions so far, including using Scott
Klement's HTTPAPI and some 3rd party provider and am exploring all of them.

More suggestions are always appreciated.

Jeff,

I'm looking at doing something similar with UPS and their Developer Kit
site has a lot of information and some sample code:
https://www.ups.com/upsdeveloperkit?loc=en_US.

You have to register in order to download their developer kit
information, but it's free.

Subject: Examples wanted for accessing FedEx or UPS server API's from
RPGLE

All,
I have a client that needs to be able (using the FedEx or UPS API's) to
send shipment information to the server and receive back rate
information.

From what I have read so far, this can be done using SOAP/XML/WSDL or

HTTP
Post over SSL.

Does anyone have some sample code that I can use as a base for adding to
my
existing programs?

I have a basic understanding of XML and HTTP, but no experience in
translating XML using RPGLE.

All help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,
