Create campaign - couldn't connect to host

[PhilipB11]

Hi!

I have this really odd problem... I wrote an API wrapper for email services in my website. Problem is, all of the API functionality works except for creating a campaign.

The error my framework throws is:

Error fetching remote https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/bagnz0r/campaigns [ status 0 ] couldn't connect to host

Which is really odd, because I believe that request is correct and I have provided with correct url.

This is the code:

XML that is produced and sent:

Hey,

It appears to me that it is returning the wrong error as your XML is invalid.  You should be getting back a 400 error.  Take a look at my revised XML entry which should go right into your account.  You were missing the organization information, replytoemailaddress.

 I think that this may resolve your issue but let me know if it does not.
