XML requests

[NH]

Hi

One of our systems supoprts XML requests. The documentation gives me a port
to send XML requests to and detailed definitions and syntax, but what it
doens't explain is how to 'send' the XML...

To begin with, I have put together a really simple .asp page which takes in
some values entered into a form, turns them into an XML request as defined by
the system documentation, but now what do I do with it?

Is the 'sending' bit missing from the documentation because it thought to be
obvious, or because it is so complicated that it is out of scope?

Thanks

NH

Maybe the latter.

Depends on who wrote the documentation

Search on Google for code examples using the ServerXMLHTTP object.

Mmm, it does look like the latter.

Thanks for your help guys; I think I have a lot of reading ahead of me

Some of the authors of the articles in the search results I posted are
"less-informed" than others: if you see an article telling you to use
"xmlhttp" in server-side code, you should substitute "ServerXMLHTTP".
