It's an isapi.dll directly called in the browser. With COM it communicates with database-driven software on the server. I don't think it has something to do with CGI. Unfortunately it isn't possible to access the databse directly either it's a weird Paradox DB.
With CFHTTP it's not possible to control the input that's needed in the application, I allready tried that one. Cfm code will work, but the output coming with the dll won't work properly. That's when I started to worry.
What do you mean with regex exactly? I'm not a real experienced user here.
thx in advance.
Grts,
Willy
