subject: [WEB400] UPS shipping rates with Net.Data
I have an entire e-commerce website just about built using
Net.Data and a lot of JavaScript. All that is left to do is
connect to UPS on-line tools to get shipping rates (based on
ship-to zip, shipment method, size/weight of package, etc.).
The problem is that the UPS tools are accessed via XML. I
understand the concept of XML, but I don;t know how build,
parse, or send/receive an XML document. I found a complete
function to do this written in PHP, and I know enough PHP to
replicate this in Net.Data.
However, the PHP code makes use of something called cURL to
parse the XML, and it looks like you can only run cURL in
LINUX, Windows, and some other stuff. I suspect it will not
work on the System i Apache server.
I am not locked into the PHP solution. In fact, I'm willing to try
anything, although I'm not enthusiastic about learning java,
C, and some other awful solutions that I've found on the
internet.. Anybody have some ideas?

Larry,
Take a look at Scott Klement's HTTP API service program. It
has examples of consuming web services. It also comes with an
XML parser.

The parser is not really that important, since I have a
number of ways to do that. What I am looking for is the
mechanism to send/receive XML from my
HTML/Net.data code. This CURL stuff does that, but seems to
run on every
OS known to man except OS/400.

The problem is Net.Data can't do that. You'll need to come up
with a program that can and have Net.Data call it.
I took a look at the cURL page and if you install the SSH
stuff for PASE, you'll get zlib and OpenSSL and then you can
probably run this in PASE using one of the AIX version.

HTML does not run on the server. HTML is nothing more than
text. On the server you're running some sort of programming
environment that's generating HTML, in your case Net.Data
(others might use Java, CGI,
etc.) at the end of the day they all do the same thing, generate text
(HTML) that's sent down the pipe to the browser. So the
question really is one of how do you do it from Net.Data.

subject: Re: [WEB400] UPS shipping rates with Net.Data
This is something you can't technically do from
HTML/Javascript. By default, and per the spec, you can't
make a request to a different server than what the original
request came from. What you CAN do is make a request from
Net.Data while it is being run on the server and then have
the results be displayed on the page.
I do something very similar for one of my customers where
they need to make an XML request from their RPG CGI
application to a credit reporting agency.
The basic flow is as follows:
1) User clicks button in browser
2) RPG CGI program recieves in personal information
3) Compose XML request
4) send/recieve XML request/response to/from TransUnion
5) Compose HTML response and send results back to browser
<vendor>
In my case steps 3 and 4 use RPG-XML Suite (www.rpg-xml.com).
