Hi, I am new to this formum and XML, but hope someone can share some help. I am integrating the Clickatell SMS XML Batch api into a asp based page. Not .net but I hope the xml will be relevance for this post.
When sending I am getting an error "XML error: Reserved XML Name at line 1" Clickatell provide a sms api with the provision to post xml for bulk sms sends. They have a test send page I have used at http://api.clickatell.com/xml/tst.html As you will see below the markup is send within <clickAPI></clickAPI> tags. I have tried each <clickAPI> within my code in the clickatell test page with success. However on running I receive the error "XML error: Reserved XML Name at line 1" I then tried retrieving the sessionID, by stopping the code and writing the response to the browser. I then declared the sessionID to retrieve the batchID the same way. Then I ran successfully. So I tried using a Status = 200 to ensure the postback before continuing to the next block but to no avail. Didnt work. Same error. I think the problem is somewhere in the xml, applying the callback value but not sure. Thanks for any help or suggestions you can give, Mike '--------------------- Code is as follows --> dim sURL, str sURL = "http://api.clickatell.com/xml/xml"; str = "<clickAPI>" str = str & "<auth>" str = str & "<api_id>MY API ID HERE</api_id>" str = str & "<user>MY_USERNAME</user>" str = str & "<password>MY_PASSWORD</password>" str = str & "</auth>" str = str & "</clickAPI>" str="data=" & str 'retrieve session id: returnSession with this post set oXMLHTTP = server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") oXMLHTTP.open "POST", sURL, false oXMLHTTP.SetRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form- urlencoded" oXMLHTTP.Send str returnSession = oXMLHTTP.responseText set oXMLHTTP = nothing 'post session id back with startBatch to retrieve returnBatch str = "<clickAPI>" str = str & "<startBatch>" str = str & "<session_id>" & returnSession & "</session_id>" str = str & "<from>AUTHORISED FROM</from>" str = str & "<template>MY MESSAGE</template>" str = str & "</startBatch>" str = str & "</clickAPI>" str="data=" & str 'return batch id with this post, includes the returnSession var set oXMLHTTP = server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") oXMLHTTP.open "POST", sURL, false oXMLHTTP.SetRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form- urlencoded" oXMLHTTP.Send str returnBatch = oXMLHTTP.responseText set oXMLHTTP = nothing ' I am now going to loop thru the recipients array where 0 = firstname and 1 = mobile number 'NOTE I have the comlete international string for the mobile number entered in my test data so no prob there str = "<clickAPI>" for i = 0 to ubound(rows,2) str = str & "<sendItem>" str = str & "<session_id>" & returnSession & "</session_id>" str = str & "<batch_id>" & returnBatch & "</batch_id>" str = str & "<to>" & recipients(1,i) & "</to>" str = str & "<field1>" & recipients(0,i) & "</field1>" str = str & "</sendItem>" next str = str & "</clickAPI>" str="data=" & str 'post sends send item details and returns success message set oXMLHTTP = server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") oXMLHTTP.open "POST", sURL, false oXMLHTTP.SetRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form- urlencoded" oXMLHTTP.Send str sResult = oXMLHTTP.responseText set oXMLHTTP = nothing response.write(sResult)
