Loading URL in XML

[Saviour]

Hi,

I cannot manage to make the load method works with a http URL. But it works well with local file (c:\etc...)

I need to work with a http URL ("//http:/luthiers/...xml&quot.

How can I do that?

Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I think your URL is wrong.

It should be in the form "

http://luthiers/.."

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!


yes but I am using the following code...and its not working

WHY!?

I am using the correct url format and everything

all its supposed to do is open note.xml and write it back out to /fpdb/chris.xml

how hard is that?

<script language=&quot;VBScript&quot; RUNAT=&quot;Server&quot;>
set xmlDoc=Server.CreateObject(&quot;Microsoft.XMLDOM&quot
xmlDoc.async=false
xmlDoc.load(&quot;

http://www.bisdex.com/xml/note.xml&quot;)

xmlDoc.save(server.mappath(&quot;/fpdb/chris.xml&quot)
'set x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName(&quot;NetFreightCharges&quot
'a=x.item(0).text
'document.write(a)
</script>

Because the movie has to come from the URL you are trying to access.. Flash movies can only &quot;phone home&quot;... you can only talk back to the site you came from... This is a security feature to prevent flash virus mayhem..

Shouldn't you be creating an instance of your DOMDocument like this?

Set XMLDoc = Server.CreateObject(&quot;MSXML2.DOMDocument&quot

(assuming you're using the XML 3.0 parser, available at

http://www.microsoft.com/xml)

Bisidex: I am trying to do the same thing that you are, eg

objDOM.Load(&quot;

http://www.someurl.com/file.xml&quot;)

I get the error 'The system cannot locate the resource specified'.

objDOM.Load(&quot;c:\temp\file.xml&quot works fine.

Did you ever have any luck? Or did you have to save it locally before Loading the file? Other developers have said they can do it, but I can't so obviously feel like a doofus... Miles
