POST?

[jasonwood]

I understand that FileMaker does not support an XML POST, only GET. But many XML services require you to be able to submit via POST, often one using HTTPS.

Am I understanding correctly?

I would like to learn how to integrate services like UPS Online Tools, Apple GSX, and so forth into my FileMaker solutions.

Would Beverly Voth's book help me here?

I noticed Apple publishes some documentation and even a modified version of the FileMaker Solution Framework (FMP6) at http://aboutgsx.info.apple.com/integration/. Rather then using XML from FileMaker, they're going from FileMaker to AppleScript to some custom Java application (source code included) and finally to Apple's SOAP server... yikes!

Hi, Jason,

I was in the FM Forums tonight looking for info on HTTP Posts and I noticed your email - I find myself needing to do a Post to a URL and I can't figure out how to do it. Did you ever figure it out? If so, can you point me in the right direction?

thanks,

Michael Monteleone

You could use some "middleware", such as php, to convert the POST to a GET.

All the best.
