can anybody see anything wrong in this XML HTTP POST?

Hi,

Thank you for taking a look at my question. I have the basic html page with a little java in it, all I want to do it post some XML data to an API. Can anyone see where I am going wrong if anywhere?

This is the only error I can get to come up.
test.com : server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555

Your help is most appreciated!!

function connect(url,params)

var $cnct; // The variable that makes Ajax possible!
try{// Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari
alert ("Firefox selected");
$cnct = new XMLHttpRequest();}
catch (e){// Internet Explorer Browsers
try{
$cnct = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");}
catch (e){
try{
$cnct = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");}

it didn't work either...I haven't done anything wrong in the xmlhttprequest at all have I?

Gurvinder Pal Singh

where do you get this error? which browser?

firefox.

All I really want to do, is upload some XML - to a REST endpoint.

Can you see anything wrong in how I am going about the connection etc? from what I have seen it looks to be exactly how it should be in order to work.

I only see the error in the debug part of firefox. not sure if it is a warning or an error, from what I have seen on other sites from googling, the system should still try to get through anyway
