Acessing MapPoint Web Service

[kirvine]

I am attempting to access MapPoint's web service and am receiving the following error message:

----------------------------
Error receiving Web Service Response: Authorization required. Status code 401 (Unauthorized) received. (11773)
----------------------------

I am an authorized user of the service. I have a login and access it regularly from .net. I just can't figure out how to tell it my login information from within Progress.

hWebService:connect("-WSDL http://[user-id[:password]@]web-server-host[:web-server-port]WSDL-path").

This is what I think I hear you saying (with my actual username and password replaced):

hWS:CONNECT("-WSDL 'http://useridassword@staging.mappoint.net/standard-30/mappoint.wsdl'
-Service 'RouteService'
").

But that does not seem to work.

You can also try to add the parameters -WSDLUserId and -WSDLPassword to the connect method.

If that does not work then maybe you can send me the connect method used in .net. I might be able to find out how to connect to this webservice using progress.

What version of Progress are you using ?

I received a response from Progress regarding this item and they indicated that accessing MapPoint Web Service requires modification of the HTTP header. Progress indicates this is not allowed within the 4GL at this time. I submitted an enhancement request to Progress.
