MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP Works Only With Text Files?
I'm trying to remotely get a pdf file - http://remoteServer/file.pdf - in order to store it into another server, maybe with Scripting.FileSystemObject
However the following code doesn't work properly:
------------
url = "http://remoteServer/file.pdf"
set xmlhttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
xmlhttp.open "GET", url, false
xmlhttp.send ""
------------
as xmlhttp.responseText does not contain the whole file textStream, but only a part of it.

this code works with msxml4, but found out the server it ultimately will sit on only has ver 3 and they won't update. so, this code fails on the bold line and i can't figure out why.
Code:
Set httpReq = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP" )
Set myXmlDoc = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument" )
httpReq.Open "post", webServiceUrl, False
httpReq.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml"
httpReq.setRequestHeader "SOAPAction", "soapserver/soap:CreatePreview#CreateGraphics"
httpReq.Send soapEnv 'fails here
returnSoapEnv = httpReq.responseText

I have been using the following code to access a remote url, which works fine, but if the remote "geturl" does a redirect (as the page in this code does), I have know idea what the redirected url is. Page still displays, (including the html source code), but I cannot determine what the base href is (that is, I don't know the url of the page being displayed, since is is a redirected page).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<%
geturl ="http://schoolbonus.com/partner.asp?mpid=460"
dim objXML,displayText
Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
objXML.open "GET", geturl, False
objXML.send
displayText = objXML.responSetext
%>
<pre><%= Server.HTMLEncode(displayText) %></pre>

I've used MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP in ASP to write a link checker. It checks a list of URLs stored in a db and flags any websites/webpages that are down. Since I am only interested in whether the page is up or not and not in the actual HTML, I use HEAD instead or GET.
Code:
Set getPage = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
getPage.Open "HEAD", URL, false
where getPage is my object, URL is the URL to check
and I can also do
Code:
Set getPage = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
getPage.Open "HEAD", URL, false , username , password
which checks the URL using the username and password supplied. Everything works as expected but my problem lies in the fact that the password is in plaintext in the ASP page. It is not good security practice to have an ASP page contain a username/password combo in plaintext. This means that if someone had file access to the ASP page (intranet) then they could see the username/password pair which we want to try
and avoid.
Does the HTTP standard only allow for username/passwords to be sent in plaintext?

I'm trying to integrate portions of a page on one domain into another domain. The goal is to use a rate calculator on the remote site to produce quotes on the main site. I have permission to do this. I'm using MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP and it's working quite well except that I am unable to set a session cookie that seems to be required to generate a PDF on the remote site.
I've tried passing the session cookie thru MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP, but that doesn't work. I've tried setting a cookie using ASP but it seems that PDF generation on the remote site requires the session cookie from the remote domain. I've tried setting a cookie with the domain property set to the remote site but the cookie is never written. I think this is a security feature in the Http Session State.
Is it possible to set a session cookie in MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP with a remote host/domain? Can ASP be used to set a cookie with a domain other than the requesting domain? There seems to be a property to do this but I haven't been able to get it to work. Any other suggestions?

Consider the following simple function to get the contents of a remote URL:
Function GetURL(str_URL)
Set obj_XMLHTTP = Server.CreateObject ("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0")
obj_XMLHTTP.Open "GET", str_URL, False, "", ""
obj_XMLHTTP.Send
GetURL = obj_XMLHTTP.ResponseText
Set obj_XMLHTTP = Nothing
End Function
Is there anyway that I can use a remote proxy server to make the request?

The following shows when I call it locally. If you look at the URL that has http://localhost, this is the one I use when I call the ASP page from the
same local server (self contained).
When I want to call the remote server (the one that fails) I use the other URL has http://remote.
I hope this helps..
Because the webservice is the same on both machines and I'm calling both machines the same, what would cause the remote machine to return that the Request form not recognized?

I am trying to use ServerXMLHTTP in an ASP page to return a binary file download to the browser. It works just fine with small files ( under 1 MB) but seems to fail with large files (4 MB, 11 MB in tests). A success would be that the browser kicks off the "Save As" file dialog. The failures are not always the same. Sometimes the browser tries to download the ASP file itself. Sometimes the the file seems to download successfully, but for example only 1.6 MB of a 4 MB file are actually downloaded and it doesn't seem to be a simple truncation. Sometimes I get "internal server error 500". Below is my ASP code. "Project1.exe" is small enough to be successful. If you substitute "OmniViewProSetup.exe" (4 MBs) it will fail.....

When using ASP's FileSystemObject to create text files, I am unable to get user submitted text (in Hebrew) to save as anything other than "?????". The text file is being saved in Unicode and setting the CodePage in ASP proved unsuccessful. Strangely, hard coded Hebrew text in an ASP variable does add to the text file correctly.
Any ideas of why this happens and how to get it to work correctly?

I have an ASP (not ASP .NET) application that I have to modify. I am now using Visual studio .net as the editor. I would like to be able to work on the files together with a colleague and have versioning included in the ASP text files each time they are modified.
In addition, any comments that I make about the files as a whole in the editor should be automatically inserted in the ASP file as comments. Anyone knows an editor that can help me with this?

I have developed a search engine to search through an Access database.It uses three fields to say if the number of people is less than 300 then display these fields.
I have searched for an engine to do the same thing using a text file as oppossed to Access.I have only found examples saying you can search through text files to find character similar to the search term.Does anyone know if it is possible to pull a character form a text file and use ASP to say if its less or more than.

I want to read textfiles with ASP. But I want to do this in a special way.
I want to set a variable, for each line.
So for example:
Dim line1, line2, line3, line4, line5
line1 = Line 1 of the text file
line2 = Line 2 of the text file
line3 = Line 3 of the text file
line4 = Line 4 of the text file
line5 = Line 5 of the text file
How do I have to do this? .....

I was under the impression if I had a page with several database queries to 3 different databases, it would be faster if I just had the queries cached to text files since the query result won't change that often and I build the cache manually when needed.
So my question is would it be faster to just include text files instead of doing multiple Access and SQL queries on a web page?

I have made a asp page that will read a db table and select certain fields concerning the current day's activities to be written to a text file. After the information about the current day's activities has been compiled, it is stored in a variable and written to a text file.
What I would like to do is create a text file for each day instead of over-writing the same one. Is there another Server.CreateObject method that will allow the 'creation' of a text file rather than just over-writing a text file that already exists? I would use "month(date)", "day(date)","year(date)" to append to a text file name to keep it unique.
Below is what I currently use to create a text file. But any new information will only overwrite what is already contained in the text file. Code:

im wondering if there is a method/command which can be used so that when an asp page is called, it can 'explode' content from a text file (.txt) onto a web page, thus enabling a n00b to alter the text within the file, rather than the web page itself?
Further more, if I wanted to incorporate the text which is exploded into a CSS to give it some style flava, how would I do this? Is it possible?

I need to use MSXML2.DOMDocument in my ASP page. The following is my code:
xml.asp:
=====
<%
dim sx
sx="<root><a>text1</a><b>text2</b></root>"
dim xd
set xd=Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
xd.loadXML(sx)
Response.write xd.hasChildNodes
%>
Somehow, xd.hasChildNodes return False, i.e. there is nothing in the xd. I
guess the error was caused by missing the path of the MSXML2 library file. It seems
like the code doesn't know where the MSXML2.DOMDocument is. But the code didn't
generate any error.

However, would I only be able to call web-service in a an asynchronous mode (with a callback function)? If so, how?
