OK
first thanks for replying so soon (most other groups out there take
days)
here is the code
========
xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> \
<findItemsAdvancedRequest xmlns="http://www.ebay.com/marketplace/
search/v1/services"> \
<categoryId>%(category)i</categoryId> \
<keywords>%(searchtext)s</keywords> \
<paginationInput> \
<pageNumber>%(page)i</pageNumber> \
<entriesPerPage>10</entriesPerPage> \
</paginationInput> \
</findItemsAdvancedRequest>' % \
{'category':9834, 'searchtext':"bmw", 'page':1}
print xml
========
if i run this, the page is blank (even the source) with no errors or
anything. if i remove the colon from the string (after the http) it
prints the string on the browser fine.
