xmlHTTP: The parameter is incorrect

I am posting a simple xml file to a URL...

Each time I'm geting the same error message: The parameter is incorrect

This doesn't tell me much of where to look for the problem... any ideas?


Dim xmlHTTP = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP")    ' Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0
xmlHTTP.open("GET", sURL, False)
xmlHTTP.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml")
xmlHTTP.send(content)
sResponse = xmlHTTP.responseText

where "content" is the XML from a xml file...


Dim content as string = GetTextFromXMLFile(filename)

Private Function GetTextFromXMLFile(ByVal file As String) As String
        Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(file)
        Dim tmp As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
        reader.Close()
        reader.Dispose()
        reader = Nothing
        Return tmp
End Function

also tried this:

Dim content As MSXML2.DOMDocument
content = New MSXML2.DOMDocument
content.loadXML(Server.MapPath("~/") & "file.xml")

>>xmlHTTP.open("GET", sURL, False)

should read :-

xmlHTTP.open("POST", sURL, False)

you cannot use GET to send content which has a mime type.
