Using tsNetPost
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 11:20 pm
Good afternoon and happy Friday.
I'm doing some testing with LC and the eBay XML API. Basically involves a POST to eBay's server. I'm testing with a simple request - GetOfficialEbayTime (yes it says get but all the eBay requests are POST). I've tested my XML in eBay's API Explorer which allows me to paste my XML code. This was successful. However, using the same headers (and variations to test) and XML it fails using LC's lesson code sample format:
I keep getting errors similar to this:
Any ideas? I suspect it is something to do with how the requests are formatted since I know the XML is correct. TIA.
