objXMLDOM.Load From URL?

I have the following ASP code which works great. What I want to do though is load the xml from a url over http. I know I can use a dll to grab the url stream then save this to a localdisk file and do it that way. Can you bypass teh save to disk bit though and load xml directly into the parser?

Thanks

Dave

Dim objXMLParser
Dim rootNode

Set objXMLDOM = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

objXMLDOM.async = False
objXMLDOM.Load (Server.MapPath("/Xml Stuff/Friends.xml"))

Set rootNode = objXMLDOM.documentElement

If rootNode.hasChildNodes() Then
For Each friend in rootNode.childNodes
For Each item in friend.childNodes
Response.Write item.nodeName & ": " & item.Text & "<br/>"
Next
Response.Write "<hr/>"
Next
End If

Thanks due. Me is a bit thick though and needs things pointing out. I managed to get something working with XMLHTTP but I had top save it to disk.

This is what I have below, can I do this without saving to disk though?

Dim objXML
Dim objFSO
Dim objFile

Set objXML = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

strURL = "http://localhost/xml%20stuff/Friends.xml"

objXML.Open "GET", strURL, False
objXML.Send

xmlGet = objXML.responseText

Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile (Server.MapPath("/xml stuff/downloads/") & "\" & "friends.xml", 2, True)
objFile.Write xmlGet

Set objFile = Nothing
Set objFSO = Nothing

Dim objXMLParser
Dim rootNode

Set objXMLDOM = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

objXMLDOM.async = False
objXMLDOM.Load (Server.MapPath("/Xml Stuff/Friends.xml"))

Set rootNode = objXMLDOM.documentElement

If rootNode.hasChildNodes() Then
For Each friend in rootNode.childNodes
For Each item in friend.childNodes
Response.Write item.nodeName & ": " & item.Text & "<br/>"
Next
Response.Write "<hr/>"
Next
End If

Thanks
