How do I use MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP to grab data from another site?
You can use this component for http-requests like "POST", "GET", "DELETE" etc.
<%
' 0: create the object:
' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
' 1: send data using method "GET":
' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
objXML.Open "GET", "http://mvp.sos.state.ga.us/?some=querystring", false
objXML.Send ""
Response.Write objXML.responseText
' Note that Open method has 3 parameters: HTTP method, URL, asynchronous call.
' Note that Send method on a "GET" ignores its parameter. (In this case we are passing parameters via the URL.)
' 2: send data using method "POST":
' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NON E' PROPRIO COSI': SI DEVONO METTERE I PARAMETRI IN LINEA CON ?
objXML.Open "POST", "http://mvp.sos.state.ga.us/", false
objXML.Send "username=htbasaran&password=somepassword"
Response.Write objXML.responseText
' Note for "POST" that Send method passes parameters in key-value pairs format like: key1=value1&key2=value2&so=on... or any other data like XML, JSON, etc.)
' These are the basics of this component. If you need more information, you can check microsoft's docs page out.
' 3: An example code for getting form values and sending them using xmlhttp post method.
' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' getting form values
my_uname = Request.Form("username")
my_pword = Request.Form("password")
' creating object
Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
' sending variables to an external site
objXML.Open "POST", "http://www.sitename.com/login.asp", false
objXML.Send "username=" & my_uname & "&password=" & my_pword
' Assuming that successful login will return response "Ok"
' writing the result to the client.
if objXML.responseText="Ok" then
Response.Write "Login Successful!"
else
Response.Write "Login Failed!"
end if
