Hi Jamie,

Thanks for the link. Yes, i referred to it but it will be of great help if you can tell me that how to use Post Data and Post Document.

The url that you are posting to will be expecting a certain document, for example, if you are posting to a web service it would be expecting a soap envelope. You should be able to find plenty of examples on the web. If you are still having trouble describe what you are trying to do.

Hi,

any reason you are not using webservice action block?

[jamie_cawley]

If you web service is available on the internet you could use http://www.soapclient.com/soapclient to generate the envelope. The response will be in the string or xml return.

The only reason to do this is if the web service was an rfc encoded type. The web service action only support doc liternal.
