RosettaNet (RNIF) Inbound

Question

Hi Guys,
I have previously created a RosettaNet interface to send messages to another server, however I now need to look at receiving RosettaNet messages.
I have created the relevent parties, business services and communication channels, observing the naming conventions.
What I'm now looking for is the URL to use when posting to XI.
I've tried posting to http://<XI server address>:<port>/MessagingSystem/receive/RNIFAdapter/RNIF
which returns a
401 Unauthorized
so I've added
?sap-user=<username>&sap-password=<password>
but with no luck.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Kind regards,
John Lambert

Hi Bhavesh,
I'm not sending from RSTK.
The intention was to send from the SeeBeyond server that XI was sending messages to. In order to check the URL etc. that I wrote a short app in Perl to connect to the URL in the previous post and post a RosettaNet packet saved in a file.
I have sucessfully bypassed the authorisation problem when sending from Perl, but XI is complaining about the Start Boundary missing.

Probably won't help, but the Perl Code looks like this:
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use URI::URL;
use HTTP::Headers;
my $userAgent = LWP::UserAgent->new(agent => 'perl post');
open FILE, 'c:/work/aim/xi/S98_20070827164731140' or die $!; binmode FILE;
my $contents;
{ local $/ = undef;     # Read entire file at once
     $contents = <FILE>;      # Return file as one single `line'
}                       # $/ regains its old value
close FILE;
my $message=$contents;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(env_proxy => 1,
                              keep_alive => 1,
                              timeout => 30,
my $hdrs = new HTTP::Headers(Accept => 'text/plain', "Content-Type" => "application/xml");
my $req = HTTP::Request->new('POST', 'http://<server address>:<port>/MessagingSystem/receive/RNIFAdapter/RNIF', $hdrs,$message);
my $username="<username>";
my $password="<password>";
$req->authorization_basic($username, $password);
my $response = $ua->request($req);
print $response->error_as_HTML unless $response->is_success;
print $response->as_string;
Good luck, I suspect I will have the same problems with authorisation when attempting to connect from the Seebeyond Server.
