Example API Request and Response

The following example shows an example XML request and response for the login service. The request is:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
xmlns:SOAPENV=" http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://
www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"> 

<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<login xmlns="http://www.betfair.com/publicapi/BFService/">
<request>
<username>AUserName</username>
<password>APassWord</password>
<productId>22</productId>
<vendorSoftwareId>0</vendorSoftwareId>
<locationId>0</locationId>
</request>
</login>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

The response received is:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:n2="http://www.betfair.com/publicapi/types/" xmlns:soap="http://
schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<soap:Body>
<n:loginResponse xmlns:n="http://www.betfair.com/publicapi/BFService/">
<n:Result xsi:type="n2:LoginResp">
<header xsi:type="n2:APIResponseHeader">
<errorCode xsi:type="n2:APIErrorEnum">OK</errorCode>
<minorErrorCode xsi:nil="1"></minorErrorCode>
<sessionToken xsi:type="xsd:string">r6n+yBbOnm3ret5rkj4ti4Zg<sessionToken>
<timestamp xsi:type="xsd:dateTime">2006-01-06T13:27:58.330Z</timestamp>
</header>
<currency xsi:type="xsd:string">GBP</currency>
<errorCode xsi:type="n2:LoginErrorEnum">OK</errorCode>
<minorErrorCode xsi:nil="1"></minorErrorCode>
<validUntil xsi:type="xsd:dateTime">2006-02-05T00:00:00.000Z</validUntil>
</n:Result>
</n:loginResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

In this example, the sessionToken contains the value r6n+yBbOnm3ret5rkj4ti4Zg.

would it be possible to make this XML request from autoit?

Why not just get it over with? Empty your bank account, send all your money to money to me, and move into a dirty cardboard box tonight!

Why drag it out?
