XMLHTTP send, Calling NAV webservice from NAV

Benno67

Hi All!
We have got a fuzzy problem with xmlhttp.send.

This message is for C/AL programmers:

The call to member send failed. msxml3.dll returned the following message:
The download of the specified resource has failed.

Why is msxml3 used?, both 3 and 6 are installed, the automation object for the xmlhttp variable is Microsoft XML v6???
Tryed tot change the variable to Microsoft XML v3, but gave the same error.
As examples we used Freddy's blog, and checked it against Rashed Job que sample. Both the same principle.
Checked is also on a local installation, same result.

I have sometimes had this issue if using 'Microsoft XML, v6.0'.ServerXMLHTTP on a client or 'Microsoft XML, v6.0'.XMLHTTP on a server.

Have solved this issue this way

IF ISSERVICETIER THEN BEGIN
  IF ISCLEAR(WinHTTPServer) THEN
    CREATE(WinHTTPServer,TRUE,FALSE);
  WinHTTPServer.open('GET',URL,FALSE);
  WinHTTPServer.send('');

  IF WinHTTPServer.status <> 200 THEN
    ERROR(Text007,WinHTTPServer.status,WinHTTPServer.statusText);

  DOMDocument.load(WinHTTPServer.responseXML);
  CLEAR(WinHTTPServer);
END ELSE BEGIN
  IF ISCLEAR(WinHTTP) THEN
    CREATE(WinHTTP,TRUE,FALSE);
  WinHTTP.open('GET',URL,FALSE);
  WinHTTP.send('');

  IF WinHTTP.status <> 200 THEN
    ERROR(Text007,WinHTTP.status,WinHTTP.statusText);

  DOMDocument.load(WinHTTP.responseXML);
  CLEAR(WinHTTP);
END;

Thank you Gunnar,

I solved the problem, apparently, msxml3 has a problem on a / instead of a \ in the username…
Stupid mistake.
Still do not understand why msxml3 is used.
