VB Script ASP page - processing output from another web service

[Tony Flury]

I have a data server which provides is data via a series of XML payloads - and allows queries and input using the same basic XML idea.

What i need to do is write a set of web pages that can interpret and display the XML payloads - call them presenters.

Show how do i write a VBScript ASP that excutes an outgoing http request to another server - and then waits for the response (which it can then process and generate HTML).

I would recommend using a MSXML2.XMLHTTP object to handle this. Here is an example.

dim xmlHTTP
set XmlHttp = server.createobject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
XmlHttp.onreadystatechange = getRef("process")
XmlHttp.open "GET", "http://www.site.com", false
XmlHttp.send()

Sub process()
if xmlHTTP.readyState = 4 then
pageText = xmlHTTP.responseText
end if
end sub
