I wonder why we have to make this so complex. Actually I know why because
this is written by programmers :) Anyway I would like to direct attention to
the developers guide from Authorize.net. It is very clear and concise.
http://www.authorizenet.com/go2/framed.php3?url=secure.authorize.net/docs.
Please note the response codes found at:
http://secure.authorize.net/docs/response.pml
I don't think you could be any clearer. I can HTTP post all my information
and the response is a comma separated string (results). The data in each
cell is obvious and easy to parse.
Also take a look at http://secure.authorize.net/docs/functions.pml which
shows the form fields that need to be passed and if they are optional, their
name, expected length etc....
I just don't understand why there needs to be another lay or complexity by
implementing XML standards. At that point why not use WDDX found at
http://www.wddx.org That is a standardized XML which has a predefined DTD
and doesn't require a new DTD with each new revision.
Thanks and please consider what I have said, and referenced above as
proven......
