Hi Marc,
Thanks for the quick reply. You truly are a shepard, we would be lost without your guidance and expertise. I did update to 1.8.0 and 7.2; now the xData response shows undefined. I also even made the url variable just a hardcoded text string to be sure for testing ( I edited the original code to reflect that). Still no result. Could the web application owner be locking SOAP calls / interactions?
Since it appears I am stuck, and I love what you have done, are there any other competing services / libraries which can replicate this functionality? Prefer to not use them but I seem to have hit a roadblock at this point.
