Re: HTTPPOSTCLOBVERBOSE - invoking a HTTPS web service

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with this...  GETURI and HTTPAPI have been around for a lot longer
and been through the trials of thousands of shops using them.

Both are supported very well, GETURI through myself and HTTPAPI through
Scott and his mailing list.

You would be done with the project by now if you use one of them.  :)
