I've been trying to access a site with REBOL using the site's API, but I'm having problems. The API call expects a custom header and a request in XML format. I've been trying with read/custom, but I'm unsure how to include the header, or what format it should take. The default header in system/options/cgi is an object, so I assume it should be an object, but where would you put it? (Adding to system/options/cgi hasn't worked.)
I'm guessing the code below is something like what I need...
http-custom-header: make object! [
Content-Type: text/xml
etc...
]
xml-request: {
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<etc>etc...<etc>
}
site-URL: http://etc...
response: read/custom site-URL reduce ['post xml-request]
That won't work though as http-custom-header hasn't been put anywhere useful.
Am I on the right track? If so, where should the header go? Otherwise, what's a workable way to send an HTML header and request using REBOL?
I've figured it out. You just add 'header and a block (not an object) to the read/custom block. Thus...
