CREATE PROCEDURE usp_MapQuest_Geocoding_Address(@Address varchar(40),
						@Response nvarchar(MAX) OUTPUT,
						@StatusCode int OUTPUT,
						@StatusDescription nvarchar(MAX) OUTPUT)
AS

DECLARE @URLnvarchar(MAX) 
DECLARE @QueryString varchar(MAX)
DECLARE @HTTPSessionID uniqueidentifier

SET @URL = 'http://www.mapquestapi.com/geocoding/v1/address'

EXEC SQLHTTP.net.QueryStringBuilder     @QueryString OUTPUT,
					'MapQuest', 
					'key', '#APIKey',
					'location', @Address

SET @URL = @URL + @QueryString;

EXEC SQLHTTP.net.HTTPSession @HTTPSessionID OUTPUT
