VAT check by VIES returns an error

whynotwi

Hej Guys,

i've searched through the threads, but didn't find anything. So maybe someone faced the same problem and can help ?

Since some time (about 2 weeks) we face the problem, that the vat check via VIES returns the message "error by exceuting System.Xml.XmlDocment.Load with following message: unexpected token ">". The expected token is '"' or '''. Line 1 position 55".

I tried to find the error via the debugger, but there always were used automation objects. So i didn't find what the remote server responded.

Did any one face the same problem and found a solution ? The error pops up by checking the vat id from every customer and vendor.

We use DE BC13.3

thanks in advance
Stefan

Hello,
they did change something, you need to set the content type to text/xml.
