>I was accessing a kind of web service for a number of years. No WSDL or any such, just sending url-encoded xml and getting more xml in return and it worked fine.
>Now it redirects me from www.someserver.com/portal/services to /#/portal?query= and then I'm supposed to add xml={actual xml here} to the url. However, HTTPGet() just returns the redirection but of course can't follow it. Tried to navigate directly to www.someserver.com/#/portal?query= but it seems that some bit gets lost in the process. In the headers returned I get a "1.1 404 not found", and the buffer returned contains some html saying "Cannot POST /".

Dragan,

This will not solve your issue, but may be give something more for you to work (if you didn't check it already).

LOCAL HTTP AS WinHttp.WinHttpRequest
LOCAL URL AS String
LOCAL Redirected AS String

m.URL = "http://www.someserver.com/#/portal?query=somedata"

m.HTTP = CREATEOBJECT("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")	

m.HTTP.Open("Get", GETWORDNUM(m.URL, "#", 1), .f.)	&& I don't think browsers send anything past the fragment symbol
m.HTTP.Send()

IF m.HTTP.Status = 302		&& other codes may have to be considered
	m.Redirected = m.HTTP.Getresponseheader("Location")
	MESSAGEBOX(TEXTMERGE("Redirected to <<m.Redirected>>"))
	m.HTTP.Open("Get", m.Redirected, .F.)
	m.HTTP.Send()
ENDIF

? "" + m.HTTP.Responsebody

At least you'll know to where you're being redirected. Then you'll have to figure out some way to pass your arguments to the Web Service (without actually trying it is difficult for me to give more "ideas" beside this one...).
