  Hi

  I was trying to post the xml through c# code:

   

   

   

  HttpWebRequest  request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://tdxml.techdata.com/xmlservlet");

   

                   

   

   

   

   string xmlAvail = @"<?xml version=""1.0"" ?><!DOCTYPE XML_OrderStatus_Submit SYSTEM ""XML_OrderStatus_Submit.dtd"">

   

                                <XML_OrderStatus_Submit><Header><UserName>356575</UserName><Password>RJENK123</Password><TransSetIDCode>869</TransSetIDCode>

   

                                <TransControlID>1003</TransControlID><ResponseVersion>1.3</ResponseVersion></Header><Detail><PurposeCode>01</PurposeCode>

  <EDIInd>N</EDIInd><NonEDIInd>Y</NonEDIInd><RefInfo><RefIDQual>PO</RefIDQual><RefID>143924</RefID></RefInfo>

  <DateInfo><DateTimeQual/><DateFrom/><DateTo/></DateInfo>

  </Detail><Summary><NbrOfSegments>2</NbrOfSegments></Summary></XML_OrderStatus_Submit>";

                    HttpWebResponse resp = null;

   

   

   

                    string postData = xmlAvail;

   

                    byte[]  postDataBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);

   

                    request.Method = "POST";

   

                    request.ContentType = "text/xml";

   

                    request.ContentLength = postDataBytes.Length;

   

                    Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();

   

                    requestStream.Write(postDataBytes, 0 ,postDataBytes.Length);

   

                    requestStream.Close();

   

   

   

                    resp = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

   

                    StreamReader responseReader =  new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.UTF8);

   

                    string sXmlRet = responseReader.ReadToEnd();

   

                                           

   

                    resp.Close();

   

    

   

  It complained of "Remote server returned and error: (403) Forbidden" on this line: resp = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();.  However when I tried using classic asp version (my test harness) I created and sent the same data it didn't give an error but a correct value.

  thanks

  Sam
