As a happy owner of B3D I've been thinking of getting hold of B+ because I want to havea bash at producing some desktop apps which consume web services data (namely from Amazon!). Has anyone else tried to do this and, more to the point, is it possible to send a WS request via a HTTP URL then gather the returned XML and parse it out into form of coherent data structure ? I'd be interested to hear from anyone that has done it or from anyone who can tell me if it's possible before I splash out on a new version of Blitz. Cheers Ragman

http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1023 You would have to write your own xml/html parser but it is possible to do what you say in both b3d and b+

"A Ragman" is an anagram of anagram. Is that intentional?
