Even though ASP sucks I have had an occasion or two to use it. and I did
use this functionality.
The code is an ASP (vbscript) function that relies on the MS COM Object.
here is the code:
function httpCall (url, method, ContentType, sRequest)
'function httpCall.
'Makes an HTTP Request to webserver. This request can be local or external,
it can use SSL but does not have to
'URL: a complete web address. This must include the protocol prefix
(http:// or https://)
'method: the request method, typically "GET" or "POST", other acceptable
values are "PUT" and "DELETE", most application cannot support these two
methods
'ContentType: the mime type that is being sent.
' text/plain: used for normal GET operations
' application/x-www-form-urlencoded: used when sending form data with
a POST
' application/xml: used when sending preformated XML in the request
' Other Mime types are allowed these three are the most commonly
used. Consult with the technical department of the website you are
accessing to determine the mime type that is used
'sRequest: Data that is being sent. Please note that no conversion is being
done. If you are posting Form Data you must URLEncode each value before
sending it.
dim http 'Contains the object
'Open the Object
set http = createobject("msxml2.xmlhttp")
'open the call and set the URL, method, and Content-Type
http.open method,url,false
http.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", ContentType
'Determine the Content Length of the data being Posted.
http.setRequestHeader "Content-Length", len(sRequest)
'Send the request with any data being Posted
http.send sRequest
'Return the output
httpCall = http.responsetext
'http.close
set http = Nothing
end function
