Has anyone else seen a "500 Internal Server Error" when using the API
with Perl SOAP?  I am having no problems with most of the commands I
have tried, but when I try to modify a Campaign geoTargeting, I get 500
Internal Server Error with no other explaination.  I appreciate any
help.  Here is the request and response (with login credentials
removed):

Hi Tom --

Try constructing the geotargeting part of your request like so (this
should nuke some bad type info your client's sending):

my @metros = (
 612,
 642,
 644
);

my $campaign = {
 'id' => $id,
 'geoTargeting' => \SOAP::Data->name('metros')->value(@metros),
 %other_stuff

Thanks, Brian!  It works great now.

Hello all,

I am geting "500 Internal Server Error" when using API with XML.
Anybody have similar experience?  I appreciate any help.  Here is my
code for request (with login credentials removed):

** URL for the web service
lcUrl =
"https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/v2/TrafficEstimatorService"

** create a placeholder for the return message
loReturn = CREATEOBJECT("Line")
loReturn.AddProperty("FullMessage", null)
loReturn.AddProperty("Message", null)
loReturn.AddProperty("lError", .F.)
loReturn.AddProperty("ErrorMessage", null)

*** Build the SOAP:Envelope
lcEnvelope = ""
lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [<?xml version="1.0"?>]
lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [<soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/v2">]

lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [<soap:Header>]
lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [<email>myemail</email>]
lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [<password>mypassword</password>]
lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [<token>mytoken</token>]
lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [</soap:Header>]

lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [<soap:Body>]
lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [<estimateKeywordList>]
lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [<keywordRequests>]
lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [<type>Broad</type>]
lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [<text>hello</text>]
lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [<maxCpc>50000</maxCpc>]
lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [</keywordRequests>]
lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [</estimateKeywordList>]
lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [</soap:Body>]

lcEnvelope = lcEnvelope + [</soap:Envelope>]

** show the message sent to the server
STRTOFILE(lcEnvelope, "xmlsend.xml")

*** Create the XMLHttp request object
loHTTP = CREATE("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

* Add request headers
  loHTTP.Open("POST", lcURL, .T.)
  loHTTP.setRequestHeader("Content-Type:", "text/xml")
  loHTTP.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction:", "TrafficEstimatorService")
  loHTTP.Send(lcEnvelope)
  Sleep(5000)
  loReturn.Message = ""
  loReturn.FullMessage = ""

  IF loHTTP.Status <> 200
    loReturn.lError = .T.
    loReturn.ErrorMessage  = TRANSFORM(loHTTP.Status) + " : " +
loHTTP.StatusText
    loReturn.FullMessage  = "<RETURN>" + TRANSFORM(loHttp.status) +
"</RETURN>"
    loReturn.Message   = ""
   ELSE
    loReturn.FullMessage  = loHTTP.responseXML.XML
    loReturn.Message   = loReturn.FullMessage
  ENDIF
ENDIF

loHTTP = .NULL.

** show the message returned from the server
STRTOFILE(loReturn.FullMessage, "xmlreceive.xml")

RETURN

Never mind guys, I got it to work.

Thanks
