Handling the response from the "Microsoft.XMLHTTP"
I have successfully set up a chunk of code using GET within CreateObject("Microsoft.XM
I can use reponse.txt but this just gives me a text representation of the body. What I want to do is gather the full response and allocate it to variable names (or use the XML names - I don't mind) and display the data in a meaningful fashion within an ASP page. I notice the text command misses out empty fields completely; I would need this to come through as fields but empty - in the same way as is shown when the raw XML feed is displayed if you don't use the XMLHTTP object.
Can anybody help me?

I'm using VBScript and old fashioned ASP. Isn't GetREsponseStream a .NET feature?
I don't do .NET - not yet anyway and certainly not for this project due to time constaints.

try setting response' content type
Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
dim objXMLHTTP
set objXMLHTTP = Server.CreateObject("Micro
objXMLHTTP.Open "GET", sourceURL,false
objXMLHTTP.SetRequestHeade
objXMLHTTP.Send
Response.Write objXMLHTTP.ResponseText
Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
dim objXMLHTTP
set objXMLHTTP = Server.CreateObject("Micro
objXMLHTTP.Open "GET", sourceURL,false
objXMLHTTP.SetRequestHeade
objXMLHTTP.Send
Response.Write objXMLHTTP.ResponseText

That's pretty much exactly the code I have used so far. The response.Write XMLHTTP.reponse.Text gives me a long string which I don't actually want . I want to get the response back as neat little bundles of text to which i can assign a variable name to each one and then display them individually in my web page.

Any further comments before I terminate the question with no points awarded?
Load the XMLTTP.response.Text property into an XmlDocument object, then you can traverse the XML however you want, outputting data how you want.
You could also use an XSLT to convert the response into what you want.

That sounds interesting OBonio. Sorry to be dense but how exactly would I do that?
