All,
I have been tasked with connecting to another companies
"webservices", and then doing some data manipluations on our end. I can
successfully connect by creating a form with their url as the action and
passing through the correct variables. In return I get an XML document.
I can successfully parse an xml document that I ALREADY have, using CF to
get to the data I need, but I cannot figuire out how to do anything with the
xml JUST sent to me. I think I need to be using CFHTTP, but am not sure
about this. Has anyone done this?
So, I have the following HTML:
<form name="test" method="post"
action="http://client.something.com/TESTOpenShipments/OpenShipments.dll/Open
Shipments">
<input type="hidden" name="CarrierID" value="15">
<input type="hidden" name="CarrierPassword"
value="password">
<input type="hidden" name="LastServerTime">
<input type="submit" value="Get Open Shipments">
</form>
This returns something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<OPENSHIPMENTS>
<SERVERTIME>01/08/2002 10:00:40:430</SERVERTIME>
<CARRIERID>????</CARRIERID>
<SHIPMENT>
<NLMSHIPMENTNUMBER>9656141</NLMSHIPMENTNUMBER>
<ACCID>123456789</ACCID>
<ACCOUNT>FORD MOTOR</ACCOUNT>
<TIMEOUTDATETIME>12/17/2001 11:48:13</TIMEOUTDATETIME>
<HAZMAT>NO</HAZMAT>
<HAZMATCODE></HAZMATCODE>
<HAZMATUN></HAZMATUN>
<HAZMATCLASS></HAZMATCLASS>
<CSASHIPMENT>NO</CSASHIPMENT>
<CRITICAL>YES</CRITICAL>
<ASAP>NO</ASAP>
<READY>12/17/2001 11:24:000</READY>
</SHIPMENT>
I am assuming that because I have to parse the data WHEN it is sent to me,
then I need to use CFHTTP.
I have tried to resolve this page using cfhttp as in:
<cfhttp
url="http://client.something.com/TESTOpenShipments/OpenShipments.dll/OpenShi
pments" method="POST" resolveurl="false" proxyserver="192.168.36.999"
proxyport="80">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="CarrierID" value="15">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="CarrierPassword"
value="password">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="LastServerTime" value="">
</cfhttp>
<cfoutput>
file content: <br> #cfhttp.filecontent#
</cfoutput>
But I keep getting the following error:
file content:
Connection Failure
I dont know if this is because of proxy server settings.
