Auugghhh!!! How do I format HTTP requests?

in XML/XSL

Featured Replies

I'm begining to learn about XSL and how it works to get the info from an XML source.

However, I'm stumped when it comes to knowing how to format my HTTP requests to the XML data source on the web. Can someone enlighten me as to the standards, I see lots of "?" and "&" and "=" used, but I'm not confident enough, smart enough, nor patient enough to keep experimenting with various formats of these things.

? means this is a request. It occurs once after the domain/server and the CGI:

http://mydomain.com/fmpro?

& is used between the parameters in the request and = is the value of the parameter:

-db=myfile.fp5&-lay=web&-format=-fmp_xml&-findall

See my example files for a quick way to write an XML query

"XQUERY.FP5"
