The following is from UPS's developer guide. They are very specific
that the two XML documents must be concatenated and posted with a single
HTTP post. I know how to create the two documents, but how to
concatenate & post with one handle. Is this possible in DataFlex?
from UPS: -- I've abbreviated the 2nd document description
XML Rates & Service Selection Examples
The following are fabricated XML documents showing Rates & Service
Selection Requests and Responses used in communicating with UPS OnLine
Tools server.
Each transaction is made up of two separate XML request documents. These
requests are concatenated and posted to the UPS web servers using a
single HTTP Post.
When validating the request XML documents, do not treat the two
concatenated documents as a single XML document. XML parsers can not
parse two concatenated documents. Process each XML Request separately.
UPS will separate the two documents and parse them individually. To
ensure this occurs, verify that <?xml version="1.0"?> is at the top of
each XML request document.
Request #1: Simple Rates and Service Selection Request
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<AccessRequest xml:lang="en-US">
<AccessLicenseNumber>YOURACCESSLICENSENUMBER</AccessLicenseNumber>
<UserId>YOURUSERID</UserId>
<Password>YOURPASSWORD</Password>
</AccessRequest>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RatingServiceSelectionRequest xml:lang="en-US">
