How to make Web request from asp

[sutav]

Hi all,
if anybody knows how I can make a request to other page (php in my case) and to get response help please. There is such possibility in ASP.NET but I can't find anything appropriate in asp.
To make things more clear - there is php script hosted on other server accepting parameters in query string and returning data in xml format. I need to call it within server side code of asp page.

Any help will be appreciated

Look up the "Microsoft.XMLHTTP" object on good old google. That's what I use.

here's a snippet of code i've used to do this:
note that myXmlOutputString should be valid xml.

Dim xmlResponse, htobj
Set htobj = Server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
htobj.Open "POST", "[URL unfurl="true"]http://example.com/somepage.php",[/URL] false
htobj.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml"			' windows implementation is case-sensitive!!
htobj.Send myXmlOutputString
xmlResponse = htobj.ResponseText
Set htobj = Nothing

now feel free to parse away---or even better, use the Microsoft.XMLDOM object---at your xmlResponse string.

good luck!
-f!
