Many thanks to Andy, Sam and Tracy!!! I got pass the username and password part. Moving ahead, now am receiving an HTML response from the server.
The piece code looks like this: lcParametros = "Username=" + lcUsuario + "&" + "Password=" + lcPassword lcURL = "https://www.clearinghouse.com/hipaa/Get271.asp"; lcFile = FILETOSTR("c:\temp\eligblty.txt") loXmlHttp = NEWOBJECT( "MSXML2.XMLHttp" ) loXmlHttp.open( "POST", lcURL +"?"+lcParametros, .F.) loXmlHttp.send(lcFile) lcFiler = "c:\temp\eligresp.txt" STRTOFILE(loXmlHttp.responsetext, lcFiler,0) Looking at the response the file is being sent (461 bytes). But apparently still missing something cause instead of an XML response I get an HTML server response as follows: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> <html dir=ltr> <head> <style> a:link {font:8pt/11pt verdana; color:FF0000} a:visited {font:8pt/11pt verdana; color:#4e4e4e} </style> <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX"> <title>The page cannot be displayed</title> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Content="text-html; charset=Windows-1252"> </head> <script> function Homepage(){ <!-- // in real bits, urls get returned to our script like this: // res://shdocvw.dll/http_404.htm#http://www.DocURL.com/bar.htm //For testing use DocURL = "res://shdocvw.dll/http_404.htm#https://www.microsoft.com/bar.htm"; DocURL=document.URL; //this is where the http or https will be, as found by searching for :// but skipping the res:// protocolIndex=DocURL.indexOf("://",4); //this finds the ending slash for the domain server serverIndex=DocURL.indexOf("/",protocolIndex + 3); //for the href, we need a valid URL to the domain.
