Connecting over HTTP to a Web Server
HI
I am a complete newbie to this so any response will be greatly appreciated:
We have a Web Server (Linux Suse and Apache).
I want to create a test app in VB. Net 2005 that can connect to this web service, then send XML requests and process return responses.
I have the Dtd document with all the requests and responses. I also have the necessary URI the Http version (HTTP/1.1), the method etc.
Can someone please give me some sample code to send a request to this server and receive the response.
Below is the known info mentioned earlier and a sample request:
URI -www.blahblah.co.za/folder/run
HTTP version HTTP/1.1
Method = POST
Sample request -
-
POST /sell HTTP/1.1
Host: myserver
User-Agent: xxxxxxxx/1.0
Content-Length: 310
Content-Type: application/xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE sell SYSTEM "sell_14.dtd">
<sell>
<client>
<sell type="request" format-by="server">
<station>105</station>
<terminal>
<type>7</type>
<number>12345671</number>
</terminal>
<value>50.25</value>
<value_tendered>100.00</value_tendered>
<method="cash" />
</sell>
</client>
</sell>
