You could try using the older XMLHttpRequest type of
WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1
Here's a scriptlet I use to pull the data from another domain which
you could possibly use somehow:
var xmlhttp=false;
/[EMAIL PROTECTED] @*/
/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (@_jscript_version >= 5)
// JScript gives us Conditional compilation, we can cope with old IE
versions.
// and security blocked creation of the objects.
try {
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
try {
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch (E) {
xmlhttp = false;
}
}
@end @*/
if (!xmlhttp && typeof XMLHttpRequest!='undefined') {
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
I also use a classic vbscript server-side script to read the data
which uses the WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1 method, feel free to modify
this!
function loadXMLDoc(url)
set xmlhttp = Server.CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") '
using 5.1 from WinXP Sp1
call xmlhttp.open("GET",url,false)
call xmlhttp.send()
' Get the text retreived from the URL
if xmlhttp.Status = "200" Then xmlResponse = xmlhttp.ResponseText
' xmlhttp.close()
set xmlhttp = nothing
end function
Hope this might help you!
Cheers,
