From a web browser/any app, I need to submit and XML request to FileMaker and get an XML result back, so I'm trying to use FileMaker 13 and an XML url to:

1. find a record
2. if that record is found and one of its fields has a certain value
3. create a record in another table
4. show the user the fields from the record in the other table in xml format


I've tried to do this with an xml url that runs a script to do steps 1-3, then finds the new record in step 4:

http://IPAddress/fmi/xml/fmresultset.xml?-db=DBName&-lay=LayoutNameInOtherTable&-script.prefind=SCRIPTNAME&–script.prefind.param=1234%7B%7Capple&code=1234&-find




However,

1. how do you pass the username and password in the URL?

This:
[log in to unmask]&-lay=LayoutNameInOtherTable&-script.prefind=SCRIPTNAME&–script.prefind.param=1234%7B%7Capple&code=1234&-find" target="_blank">http://username:[log in to unmask]&-lay=LayoutNameInOtherTable&-script.prefind=SCRIPTNAME&–script.prefind.param=1234%7B%7Capple&code=1234&-find

does NOT work

So, I've given the GUEST account Full Access privileges.


2. the script does not run

(I've also tried -script and -script.param to run the script after the find and that didnt' work either)


I can use XML to create a record OR find a record but not to run a script.
