Does anyone know of a way that I can view the entire web services
communication? I am having real trouble connecting to a web service
that uses Basic HTTP Authentication and have found the code that can
be added to the HTTPRIO1HTTPWebNode1BeforePost(), but that doesn't
seem to help.

I get the message that:

A semi colon character was expected.

Line: 1
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE></HEAD><BODY

The people with the web service are saying that I am not getting the
Basic HTTP authorization right so it's returning me some HTML.

Any Ideas?

Hello Bryan,

I've use proxyTrace before. See - http://www.pocketsoap.com/tcptrace/pt.aspx

It should allow you to view the HTTP exchanges (assuming you're not already
using a proxy).

Keep in mind that using InternetSetOption relies on a minimum version of
WinInet. If it's basic authentication, you can also put the HTTP header in
yourself. See:

Cheers,

Bruneau.

Just wanted to say "Thank You!", I was able to add the Basic
Authorization with the HttpAddRequestHeaders() call and it
works like a champ now.

Thanks for the follow-up post.

I'll drop the code that puts the 'Authorization' header directly somewhere
in a comment for others.

Cheers,
