FedEx^® Rate Request and Reply XML examples.

This is not so much an ASP acticle as it is to show how to format the XML document to send to the FedEx^® Web Services API and the response that is sent back.
I was working on setting up a FedEx^® rate Quote module in ASP and I couldn't even find a good working example of the XML documents that are Required let alone a working ASP example of the process to send the xml and work with the reply. Even FedEx's^® Own developer website was not very helpful. So after much trial and error I came up with a well formatted Rate Request XML file that returned a reply that I could work with.

Below are Links to the documents.

A few things to note:
If you haven't already you will need to set up a developer account at the FedEx^® Developer Site

Once you have registered take note of your developer key becuase it is not sent to you, the others; pwassword, Account number and meter number ARE emailed to you.
Once you have these insert them in the Request XML file.
Also make sure the Shipper and Recipient City and Postalcodes are valid.

Thats about it for now, I hope to sometime in the future to have a full tutorial on the whole process done in ASP.
