Hello Again, I made a lot of progress since yesterday on this test plan. Unfortunately now it seems that one of the variables I need to use in a SOAP request is causing an exception. Specifically, there is an ampersand (&) in the string as follows:
<node>asdf23409809___&encoded=true</node> When I try to run the test, I get this exception every time (unless the ampersand is removed, which means the AUT will not validate the request): [Fatal Error] :1:411: The reference to entity "encoded" must end with the ';' de limiter. Is there some way to escape the ampersand? I tried "\" but to no avail. Thanks, Matt On 10/13/05, Edelman Matthew - medelm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Great. Thanks.
