  Hi folks,
  
  I been asked to post data from a form to a msg broker system being tested by an external team. I have been told that all I should do is post the data using http request in the following format to a server.
  
  

  var http =new HttpClient();
  var url="http://P510-4.nottscc.gov.uk:7080/FOI";
  http.contentType = "'text/xml'";
  http.requestHeader = ["SOAPAction", '""'];
  
  http.postData ='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>';
  http.postData +='<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = SOAPENV /><SOAPENV:ENVELOPE xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">';
  http.postData +='<SOAPENV:BODY>';
  http.postData +='<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = NS0 /><NS0:SETFOIDATA xmlns:ns0="urn:WSDL5">';
  http.postData +='<NEWFOIREQUEST>';
  
  http.postData +='';
  http.postData +='<FNAME>'+firstname+'</FNAME>';
  http.postData +='<LNAME>'+surname+'</LNAME>';
  http.postData +=' '+address+'';
  http.postData +='<COUNTY>'+county+'</COUNTY>';
  http.postData +='<POSTCODE>'+postcode+'</POSTCODE>';
  http.postData +='<EMAILADDRESS>'+emailaddress+'</EMAILADDRESS>';
  http.postData +='<TELNO>'+telno+'</TELNO>';
  http.postData +='<REQUESTDETAILS>'+requestdetails+'</REQUESTDETAILS>';
  http.postData +='<REQUESTREFNO>'+requestRef+'</REQUESTREFNO>';
  http.postData +='<SUBMITTEDDATE>'+entryDate+'</SUBMITTEDDATE>';
  http.postData +='</NEWFOIREQUEST>';
  http.postData +='</NS0:SETFOIDATA>';
  http.postData +='</SOAPENV:BODY>';
  http.postData +='</SOAPENV:ENVELOPE>';
  //http.postData = escape(http.postData);
  
  var sendMyRequest = http.sendRequest(url);

  it posts but breaks off after the first line of the post data

  I've tried posting as he says (see below - the variables are from request strings from the form) but it doesn't accept it.

  var http =new HttpClient();
  &nbsp;&nbsp;
  var url="<A href="http://p510-4.nottscc.gov.uk:7080/FOI">http://P510-4.nottscc.gov.uk:7080/FOI</A>";
  http.contentType = "'text/xml'";
  http.requestHeader = ["SOAPAction", '"<A href="http://p510-4.nottscc.gov.uk:7080/FOI&quot;'">http://P510-4.nottscc.gov.uk:7080/FOI"'</A>];
  var postForm = '';
  postForm ='&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="<A href="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/</A>" xmlns:xsd="<A href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema</A>" xmlns:xsi="<A href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot;>'">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"&gt;'</A>;
  postForm +='&lt;soapenv:Body&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;ns0:setFOIData xmlns:ns0="urn:WSDL5"&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;newFOIRequest&gt;';&nbsp;&nbsp;
  postForm +='&lt;title&gt;'+titleStr+'&lt;/title&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;fname&gt;'+firstname+'&lt;/fname&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;lname&gt;'+surname+'&lt;/lname&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;address&gt;'+address+'&lt;/address&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;county&gt;'+county+'&lt;/county&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;postcode&gt;'+postcode+'&lt;/postcode&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;emailAddress&gt;'+emailaddress+'&lt;/emailAddress&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;telNo&gt;'+telno+'&lt;/telNo&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;requestDetails&gt;'+requestdetails+'&lt;/requestDetails&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;requestRefNo&gt;'+requestRef+'&lt;/requestRefNo&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;SubmittedDate&gt;'+entryDate+'&lt;/SubmittedDate&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;/newFOIRequest&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;/ns0:setFOIData&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;/soapenv:Body&gt;';
  postForm +='&lt;/soapenv:Envelope&gt;';
  http.postData = postForm;</P> <P>var sendMyRequest = http.sendRequest(url);
  
  Can anyone tell me why this does not work please. I am fairly new to XML and would appreciate any help.
  
  Thanks

  Your definition of the soapenv namespace looks like it might be being constructed incorrectly.  If you can, re-write it such that it looks closer to this:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <soapenv:Envelope
    xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
    xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <soapenv:Header>
    </soapenv:Header>
    <soapenv:Body>
    </soapenv:Body>
  </soapenv:Envelope>
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  You left a few links open in the original posting, I had trouble replying to it!

  Hi CAMURPHY,   

  Thanks for the reply.

  The client said that she has made the changes to the soapenv namespace with no success.

  She said she still gets no response or result code.

  HTTP response header is:
  
  Has request sent should be true if HTTP result code is 200
  Has request sent?: false
  HTTP result code: 0
  
  
  
  

  Any ideas?

  Do you need anymore information?

  Thanks
