Hello again,
I seem to have found a solution to the problem below that is working for me
at the moment, but I don't see the solution being bulletproof, considering
how many people seem to have this problem I thought I'd share it with the
group.
I found the problem to be Authorware's inability to use the URL that saba
passed it. The postURL command obviously didn't understand it.
The URL saba passed to the course was as follows:
http://contentlab.saba.com:80/Vendor?aiccSessionKey=565298455-ems/storeAICCD
ata.saba-auid=notdc000000000007587-mn=99-productId=prdct000000000002040-sess
ionKey=565298455-au_id=A004
As far as the postURL() command is concerned there are two stumbling blocks
here for it. Firstly the port address (":80") after the domain name. In this
case because it was the default 80 I was able to take it out, but if SABA
ever want to communicate via a different port number I'm in trouble.
Secondly the fact that the URL contains no actual filename posed a problem
also...I found that the web server running SABA didn't care what the
filename was...so basiacally the final URL I ended up with was:
http://contentlab.saba.com/Vendor/dummy.file?aiccSessionKey=565298455-ems/st
oreAICCData.saba-auid=notdc000000000007587-mn=99-productId=prdct000000000002
040-sessionKey=565298455-au_id=A004
That URL worked a treat, Authorware is now talking to saba.
Hope this helps others out there.
Rory.
