Excel to output data into a regular format for them to plug into a file
upload widget on our website, which parses it and makes sure all the
records are good. Well, we'd like to streamline it a little, and since
I'm not a VB/Macro nerd by any stretch of the imagination, I was
wondering if I could safely invoke an HTTPS connection through an
Excel/Office macro? I'm thinking the execution would be like this:
1) Excel document created - macro button pressed.
2) Macro creates structured data (XML maybe), stores it in memory
3) Macro invokes HTTPS connection, authenticates user, sends data
4) Macro closes connection, sends user a joyous success message
5) And they ate Sir Robin's Minstrels
Is this possible, or would I be wrangling with way too many
system/access permissions to even be considering something like this?
