Hi there,

 

 

I am new to XML and the FME resources availible have been great so far.

I am stumped though.

I am trying to read a dynamic XML file via the web (similar to RSS I would assume).

 

 

At this point I can access an XML file via the web and can save this file onto my local computer. Once that is done I take this XML file and use FME to flatten it for attributes and can also add in a 2D point to populate coordinate information... I am loving the FME funcationality so far.

 

 

Where I am stuck is that I would like to have FME connect into to a web source to read an flatten the XML file instead of having to access the XML via a web browser and then save the XML file onto my local machine.

 

 

If I plug in the XML url into a FME reader I get an error, here is an example of the error:

 

 

"Sending HTTP 'GET' request to 'http://www.enetpulse.com/wp-content/uploads/sample_xml_feed_enetpulse_soccer.xml', waiting for response ...

Am I way off here? Is it possible for me to live link to a web based XML file and then parse this link to populate attributes? Does this operation require FME Server fucntionality?

 

 

Keen to know how far off base I am here!

 

 

Cheers!
