Is possible to do this? I look forward to your suggestions. You need to be able to open a socket connection to the appropriate port on the appropriate server. Then you send an HTTP message that looks like: GET /servletNameFromTheURL HTTP/1.0 followed by several lines of the appropriate HTTP headers. The server will respond by sending a response containing headers followed by some data. The server will finish up by closing the connection. You can do this from VB code. The only question is what level of technical sophistication you bring to the keyboard. You might check out some Visual Basic resources on the net. There is almost no difference between communicating with a servlet and communicating with most other forms of web resource (speed of the response might be better than an equivalent CGI). You need to understand how to send an HTTP request and how to receive and process the server's HTTP response. - Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
