Submit model -

Hi
I'm trying to discuss with shapeways.com server to upload a zip file.
Here are the exchanges between my program and the server.
What I dont understand is why the server answers with a new session_id when I invoked the submit_model API.

Thank you for your help
seb

Seb--I'll share these questions with the development team and we'll get back with more detailed answers.

Have you reviewed the documentation and code example at https://www.shapeways.com/api already?

Seb, how are you doing? Have you had any better luck with the API, and have you been able to review our sample code?

Hi Ben

Unfortunately, I stopped these developments and made a php one.

I'm not sure what you mean. Did you create a PHP app to work with our API, or something else entirely? Did you use any of the sample PHP code we provide for download at shapeways.com/api ?

Yes. something totally new where I send the model via HTTP POST protocol to my website. and my website just send it to shapeways.com using PHP.

We are looking forward to seeing your project once it's complete and launched!
