First, I'm not a python programmer. I'm an old C dog that's learned new Java and PHP tricks, but python looks like a pretty cool language.
I'm getting an error that I can't quite follow. The error follows the code below.
import httplib, urllib
url = "pdb-services-beta.nipr.com"
xml = '<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE SCB_Request SYSTEM "http://www.nipr.com/html/SCB_XML_Request.dtd"><SCB_Request Request_Type="Create_Report"><SCB_Login_Data CustomerID="someuser" Passwd="somepass" /><SCB_Create_Report_Request Title=""><Producer_List><NIPR_Num_List_XML><NIPR_Num NIPR_Num="8980608" /><NIPR_Num NIPR_Num="7597855" /><NIPR_Num NIPR_Num="10166016" /></NIPR_Num_List_XML></Producer_List></SCB_Create_Report_Request></SCB_Request>'
params = {}
params['xmldata'] = xml
headers = {}
headers['Content-type'] = 'text/xml'
headers['Accept'] = '*/*'
headers['Content-Length'] = "%d" % len(xml)
connection = httplib.HTTPSConnection(url)
connection.set_debuglevel(1)
connection.request("POST", "/pdb-xml-reports/scb_xmlclient.cgi", params, headers)
response = connection.getresponse()
print response.status, response.reason
data = response.read()
print data
connection.close
Here's the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\tutorial.py", line 14, in connection.request("POST", "/pdb-xml-reports/scb_xmlclient.cgi", params, headers)

TypeError: unhashable type
My log file says that the xmldata parameter is empty.
Any ideas?
