I am trying to send XML data to the ARB API to setup subscriptions, using an application I wrote in Classic ASP. I am actually doing two separate transactions. The first is a regular auth_capture to charge the credit card an initial amount of $20.00. I wait until that transaction goes through, receive success message from the API, clear out my objects, then create a new transaction for the ARB subscription. The auth_capture works fine, ARB does not. For the auth_capture I am sending x_login, x_Password and x_Tran_Key data. For the ARB I am sending name (same as x_login) and transactionKey (same as x_Tran_Key). I do not get a message back, no error message, no returned XML... the screen loads but the subscription does not appear when I check by logging into the Authorize.Net merchant website. My XML code is attached, I only removed the name, transactionKey and cardNumber data.
I am using a component called khttp.inet which I have used for sending/receiving XML in other applications. My ASP code looks like this:
set inet=server.CreateObject("khttp.inet")
set parser=server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0")
inet.xml=xml
call inet.openurl("https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api","GET")
returncontent=inet.content
parser.async=false
parser.loadxml(inet.content)
on error resume next
inet.close
set inet=nothing
parser.close
set parser=nothing
on error goto 0
I assume https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api is correct. The component asks for a GET or a POST. I have been using GET, not sure if that matters to the API or not.
I have been using AIM for many years, this is the first time a client has asked me to setup ARB. I wish I had an error message or something, but i'm not getting anything. When I write the variable returncontent, it is blank. Unless there is a problem loading XML data as text. Where I have parser.loadxml(inet.content), in another application unrelated to this project, that brings in the XML fine. I'm not sure how to properly read that, though.
I would appreciate any assistance. Thank you!
