That's something they should tell you. Ask their programmer to send you some code in asp or whatever he uses, or just a simple html file that does the call. It's possible for instance to pass the username and password in one call, like in lxmlObj.Send( "UserName="+lcUserName+"&Password="+lcPassword ).

>>lcURL = "http://balblabla"
>>lxmlObj = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
>>lxmlObj.Open( "POST", lcURL, .F. )

>>lxmlObj.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")

>>lxmlObj.Send( "UserName="+TheUserNameComesHere )

>>>I'm having a hard time understanding how this is supposed to work. I was trying to use Rick Strahl's SOAP Manager, but now I'm not sure it's going to work for me. This is a section from documentation that is supposed to give an example of how the requests are made to their server.

>>>ANSI Message to be sent

>>>What I can't figure out is how to send it in the right way. Their programmer who has no experience with Foxpro (go figure!) said that this uses "pure HTTP for the authentication, then uses SOAP for the XML document." Any help greatly appreciated.
