Page 62 of the Omniture Web Services API Developer Guide PDF states that the data should be posted to http://reportSuiteID.112.2o7.net/b/ss//6. Similarly, the example code at http://developer.omniture.com/documentation/datainsert/examplecode states in several areas that the host should be [rsid].112.2o7.net.
Is this a typo in the documentation? Shouldn't it actually be http://[namespace].112.2o7.net/b/ss//6?
First off, the PDF's get out dated quickly and I would always refer to the documentation presented in this forum first.
Secondly, the example code is correct but in reference to your question, they are both doing the same thing. It's a matter semantics.
For example, the proper header for a submission via POST looks like:
POST /b/ss//6 HTTP/1.0Host: [rsid].112.2o7.net
Content-Length: 593
Which will send data to [rsid].112.2o7.net/b/ss//6
But GET is slightly different as the report suite id needs to be embedded into the path, there is a different endpoint 0 vs 6, and all parameters are attached as querystring parameters to the path.
GET /b/ss/[rsid]/6?cid=blah HTTP/1.0Host: [rsid].112.2o7.net
Which will send data to [rsid].112.2o7.net/b/ss/[rsid]/0?cid=blah
Does that help?

Understood, we'll rely on developer.omniture.com whenever possible. Thank you for this resource!
So you're saying that POST submissions should go to [rsid].112.2o7.net/b/ss//6 and not [namespace].112.2o7.net/b/ss//6
Similarly, GET requests should go to [rsid].112.2o7.net/b/ss/[rsid]/0?cid=blah instead of [namespace].112.2o7.net/b/ss/[rsid]/0?cid=blah
It looked wrong to me, I was expecting to see [namespace].112.2o7.net in both cases.
