[NTLUG:Discuss] OT sending and receiving XML on a UNIX server

[Burton Strauss]

XML is just a sequence of bytes.  So it's like any other tcp/ip server ...
It's not tied to being a web server or anything else.  It's just bytes in a
specific (recognized) format.

Since there is an existing application (server), it's whatever that expects
that you will need to code to.

Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] OT sending and receiving XML on a UNIX server

All
Brief background
(1) I have an interface to write that will initiate a session with another
server, send a message, receive a reply, and close the session.
(2) The interface will be called from an existing application, which will
wait for the reply

Questions (forgive me if they are dumb ones)
(a) What is required to send, and receive, an XML message?
(b) Is it required to have a web server running on the originating server
(home of my interface)?

Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer.
Regards
Fred James
