I am extremely new to using HTTP, so feel free to answer me as if you're
talking to a 10 year old. I have to send an XML file to a vendor via HTTP.
I have a send port with a transport type of HTTP, and I have the URI set to
what the vendor gave me.

Here is what is supposed to happen. I send them the XML, and they
immediately send back a response to say if the XML is valid.

Then if the XML was valid, I receive (maybe in 4 hours or 4 days) XML via
HTTP that will be an order rejection (maybe they no longer stock an item or
something), or ship advice XML (the order has been shipped and processed
successfully).

Now, I thnk I understand how to set up the HTTP receive for when they send
me the order rejection, or ship advice (I will use correleation and set up
the receive ports, etc... for this part, I have to provide my vendor a URL).

What I don't understand is how to view/interrogate the XML that they
immediately send back when I first send the order. I've looked thru the SDK
and examples, and from what I can see, I don't need a receive port for this
part, and I don't need to provide the vendor a URL... somehow I can just
view/interrogate the response I get back...but how????

Thanks in advance!
