Problem with XMLHTTP in ASP 3.0

surajkala · March 4th, 2009, 03:41 AM

Hi i have been trying to get the contents from a webpage using MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP . Although i had done the same in past without any issues..
but now while get a content from a page , i am getting no response.text . Have checked the status it says 200. Seems like the problem is due to character encoding . Below the is the page in question
http://indiacode.nic.in/qrydisp.asp?tfnm=188712%20&tfnm2=1
Code i am using is
<%
strUrl="http://indiacode.nic.in/qrydisp.asp?tfnm=188712%20&tfnm2=1"
Set xmlHttp = Server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
xmlHttp.Open "GET", strUrl, False
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "User-Agent", "asp httprequest"
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-type", "text/xml; charset=utf-16"
xmlHttp.Send
getHTML = xmlHttp.responseText
xmlHttp.abort()
set xmlHttp = Nothing
response.write getHTML
%>
Can u please guide me how to get the contents..

Yes, it sure looks like character set problem. I assume you tried utf-8, as well?? (But it doesn't "look" like UTF-8.)

It also does *NOT* look like XML, so why are you asking for "text/xml" as the content-type???

Code:

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-type", "text/HTML; charset=utf-8"
