Using XMLHTTP Object

On the remote server, there is a form that requests the license number, licensee name, and domain name. This form, when accessed directly just searches the database for info and returns the record using ASP. I am trying to use Microsoft's XMLHTTP Object as exampled on http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/110100-1.2.shtml to post this information to the form, but I just keep getting the form returned in my browser, with no results. (I have checked to make sue my servers are capable of running this code by running the example on their website on mine first.)

For some reason it is not posting the data???

The form is like this:
(removed the formatting to make it easier to read)

<<http://www.remotedomain.com/licenses/Licensessrch.asp>>

<form action="http://www.remotedomain.com/licenses/Licensessrch.asp" method="post">
<input type="text" name="x_licensenumber" size="30" maxlength="255" value="<%= Server.HTMLEncode(x_licensenumber&"") %>">
<input type="text" name="x_licensename" size="30" maxlength="255" value="<%= Server.HTMLEncode(x_licensename&"") %>">
<input type="text" name="x_domainname" size="30" maxlength="255" value="<%= Server.HTMLEncode(x_domainname&"") %>">
<input type="submit" name="Action" value="Search">
</form>


THE local server is requesting the info as follows:

<<http://localdomain.com/xmlpost.asp>>

<%
Response.Buffer = True
Dim objXMLHTTP, xml
Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

' Notice the two changes in the next two lines:
xml.Open "POST", "http://www.remotedomain.com/licenses/Licensessrch.asp", False
xml.Send "x_licensename=JaneDoe&x_domainname=localdomain.com&x_licensenumber=12345"

Response.Write xml.responseText

Set xml = Nothing
%>

When all 3 are correct, it submits fine when accessing the form directly. Even when accessing http://localdomain.com/xmlpost.asp and it brings up the form instead of the data, I can type in the data on the form and it then brings up the data fine.
