Here is a description of the system I am building:
i.) XML file sent by means of a CGI request to Apache
ii.) Apache calls VB program to parse XML file
iii.) Date interpreted and sent via serial port to device
iv.) Device responds to serial port with data
v.) Data recevied interpreted and XML file created
vi.) XML file sent returned to Apache and sent to client
Is this possible? What would I use to interpret/create the XML file -> MSXML? Is it possible to save the incoming serial port data into a text file that MSXML could use to forward to the DOM and create an XML file, referencing a DTD? Would it be easier to implement in C++? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Dennis.
