It's basically creating an XML/HTTP stream/object, then fetching a document with it (which happens to be via POST), then checking the status of the document retrieval and populating a variable with the response.
People often use this technique as a sort of poor-man's web service. You can do anything you want with the text in strRetval. It doesn't have to be XML, although that is the spirit/purpose of the class/object. If so desired, the code could next parse through the response using the other classes/methods/properties of Microsoft.XMLHTTP. I'm not a Java/JSP person, but I'm sure Java has an equivalent library/classes to accomplish the same thing. Does that answer your question? Is there something more specific you wanted to know? - Vieth > -----Original Message----- > From: Akshay Vyas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, August 22, 2004 11:55 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [ASP] HTTP(S) and POST > > Hi > > Basically I am a JSP guy.
