Hi,

I was wondering whether anyone could explain to me how to use the HTTP
adapter to support Get requests.

Essentially I have set up the adapter as described in the documentation and
it seems to be OK. The issue I have, though, is that I can't see from the
documentation how to actually use it. I basically have an orchestration that
receives an XML file with 5 simple parameters. Hence I was expecting the
query to the HTTPAdapter dll to be of the form
BTSHTTPAdapter?parameter1=1&parameter2=2 etc. However, when I use IE to
submit a test request like this it just comes straight back (i.e. the result
I get back in IE is the query string) and nothing ever hits BT. What is the
structure that I should be sending to BT to get it to pick up the message and
does it actually convert the query string to an instance of the correct XML
message? Or alternatively do I actually need to send an XML message in some
way by including it after the ? in the url string? In either case what type
of data should my orcehstration actually be set up to receive in the receive
shape? In addition to this I then need to do some further HTTP receives
later on in the process and these need to be correlated. Given that the
query string doesn't seem to be xml how do I do the correlation?

Any help _really_ appreciated as I can't find any detail on this scenario in
the help documents.

Thanks

Ian
