Hi folks,

I been asked to post data from a form to a msg broker system being tested by an external team. I have been told that all I should do is post the data using http request in the following format to a server.

var http =new HttpClient(); 
var url=""; 
http.contentType = "'text/xml'"; 
http.requestHeader = ['SOAPAction: " 
FOI"']; 

http.postData =''; 
http.postData +=''; 
http.postData +=''; 
http.postData +=''; 
http.postData +=''; 

http.postData +=''; 
http.postData +=''+firstname+''; 
http.postData +=''+surname+''; 
http.postData +='
'+address+'
'; 
http.postData +=''+county+''; 
http.postData +=''+postcode+''; 
http.postData +=''+emailaddress+''; 
http.postData +=''+telno+''; 
http.postData +=''+requestdetails+''; 
http.postData +=''+requestRef+''; 
http.postData +=''+entryDate+''; 
http.postData +=''; 
http.postData +=''; 
http.postData +=''; 
http.postData +=''; 
//http.postData = escape(http.postData); 

var sendMyRequest = http.sendRequest(url);

it posts but breaks off after the first line of the post data

The form is on:

The msg broker system expects a package of XML. I'm being told it just needs to send a normal http post and doesn't need to use web services.

I've tried posting as he says (see attached - the variables are from request strings from the form) but it doesn't accept it.

Can anyone tell me why this does not work please. I am fairly new to XML and would appreciate any help.

Thanks

var http =new HttpClient();
		 
var url="http://P510-4.nottscc.gov.uk:7080/FOI";
http.contentType = "'text/xml'";
http.requestHeader = ["SOAPAction", '"http://P510-4.nottscc.gov.uk:7080/FOI"'];
var postForm = '';
postForm ='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>';
postForm +='<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">';
postForm +='<soapenv:Body>';
postForm +='<ns0:setFOIData xmlns:ns0="urn:WSDL5">';
postForm +='<newFOIRequest>';		
postForm +='<title>'+titleStr+'</title>';
postForm +='<fname>'+firstname+'</fname>';
postForm +='<lname>'+surname+'</lname>';
postForm +='<address>'+address+'</address>';
postForm +='<county>'+county+'</county>';
postForm +='<postcode>'+postcode+'</postcode>';
postForm +='<emailAddress>'+emailaddress+'</emailAddress>';
postForm +='<telNo>'+telno+'</telNo>';
postForm +='<requestDetails>'+requestdetails+'</requestDetails>';
postForm +='<requestRefNo>'+requestRef+'</requestRefNo>';
postForm +='<SubmittedDate>'+entryDate+'</SubmittedDate>';
postForm +='</newFOIRequest>';
postForm +='</ns0:setFOIData>';
postForm +='</soapenv:Body>';
postForm +='</soapenv:Envelope>';
http.postData = postForm;

var sendMyRequest = http.sendRequest(url);
