using XMLHTTP for print facility

[owlface23]

I am using XMLHTTP to request a dynamic page, and then parse the static results it passes back. This is so I can print out the content between two comment tags.

The solution works on my development computer, however when I move the script to a 'proper' web server, the XMLHTTP request times out. I am trying to request an ASP script that is within the same website. What is the problem here...it must be a security setting or something.

Thanks,

Jamie

Please post some code so we can take a look, we should be able to help more specifically that way rather than give you the top 10 generic answers for all ASP problems

urm.. would the webserver be using a firewall/proxy by any chance??

I may be totally out of my depth here, but i've been having a similar problem, and so I have done quite a bit of research. I think that you need to get the file here

http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads...=/MSDN-FILES/027/001/468/msdncompositedoc.xml

Then you have to run the file and follow the wizard to configure the pway the xmlhttp is handled.

You may need to use serverxmlhttp instead of xmlhttp.

I think you need to run the microsoft program on the IIS server to allow the XMLhttp to return the results through the proxy. Currently the page is sending the request through the proxy, but is not giving a return path that includes the proxy, so the information is not being returned to the original asp page.

For more information that may make more sense. take a peek at

(go to the bottom of the page).
