Hi Guys, I'm trying to post xml with https authentication using php, curl ,epp, username, password and port. XML is like this: exampledomain.co.za NewRegistrantID Any ideas how to send that through to a API and receive a response? A script would be appreciated.

You will probably need to provide more details. Typically APIs will use a standard methodology of communication (like SOAP, for instance) to wrap the XML in. For those situations PHP has built-in functions to handle creation of a message envelope which will encapsulate the XML and describe the data. Generally the process looks like: Generate the XML, encapsulate in appropriate message envelopeURLEncode the entire messageTransmit to destination APIHandle the return code from the API to determine whether the message transmission was sucessful. I'm not a programmer, but have been forced to deal with things like this from time to time. I'm sure someone with experience could elaborate further.

It fine - I got it working with the help of a Python Developer who I think we will be hiring due to the fact our developers could not sort this out.
