Hi, all.
I'm writing an EG plugin for added content from Baker and Taylor's
Content Café.
The way their content is obtained is by POSTING a well-formed XML
document to a given URL, and received a well-formed XML document in
return. Both the document to submit and the received document have a
XSD schema available defining them.
The naïve way to do this would be to hand-construct (or
programmatically construct, but in a very manual way) the valid XML
and push it off to the site in question, and then to parse the output
through XML::Simple or XPath or some other XML parser and pick out the
pieces I need.
I think the approach above would work, but I'm a real web services
n00b, and I feel like there has to be a better way. And I just don't
know what it is.
Can anyone give me some pointers?
Brandon
