Attaching XML file to a POST method

[Plucky]

Hi

I have a FM script that exports an XML file into a networked drive. This file then gets imported into an External Workflow Server. ( Not Filemaker )

I know the external server has a Web Service and can use POST and GET methods as I currently send requests from the server to my Filemaker database. What I would like is to send this Filemaker XML using one of these methods rather that dropping files into a networked drive that first must be mounted on the users desktop.

Is it recommended to use Insert from URL to achieve this or am I better off using another method. I have attached a description of what the external Server can receive.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.Web Service.pdf
