Hi,

Using the Google Mapplet API, is it possible in any way to retrieve
an .xml file situated on a standalone server ?

The .xml file is available at URL http://localhost:port/test_file.xml.
(Each user of this mapplet would have a standalone server installed
and the data from *test_file.xml* would make sense only when the
mapplet is run on that specific computer)

In my Google **Maps** Application, I use the GXmlHttp object to get
the .xml file like this :

var localWebServerAddress = 'http://localhost:5050/'
httpRequest = new GXmlHttp.create();
httpRequest.open("POST", localWebServerAddress + 'test_file.xml',
true);
...

, and it works just fine.

However in my **Mapplet** I cannot use GXml* or GDownloadUrl to get
the exact same .xml file. Mapplets API says that the only functions to
make requests for remote data are  _IG_FetchContent and
_IG_FetchXmlContent. But when I use them, I don't get the contend of
the file back.

How these two functions work exactly and are they able to provide the
content found at URL http://localhost:port/test_file.xml ?  If not,
how else can I get the .xml file in a mapplet ?

spetro
