asp_components thread: read in data (txt or html) from off site url


Message #1 by "Andrei Turchyn" <namerd22@h...> on Tue, 11 Feb 2003 17:19:50
I am trying to figure out how I can read in information (.txt or .html) 
from another website. 

For example: 
http://vipors.rwug.echota.org:18009/?opts=-R 
or 
http://vipors.rwug.echota.org:18009/?opts=-R-L 

How can I save that info into var's so I can reformat it and use it as I 
see fit? I'm farly new to asp, but think I have a pretty good handle on 
it. I've checked around the web and have not had much luck. Everything 
needs to be "on site" and you need to have the correct permissions. I've 
tried XMLHTTP but my server does not support it. 

Thanks for any ideas you may have, 
Andrei

"my server does not support it"

Do you mean your host doesn't (and won't?) support it - or
"your" server doesn't support it. If it's your server
download and install the MsXML Parser which will install
both winHTTP and xmlHTTP.

If you have access to neither, then I'm not too sure how you
could achieve this in ASP.
