Permission Denied error on xmlhttp.open call...

mussitsch · June 6th, 2006, 10:20 AM

I'm using the XMLHTTP object to send XML data to a remote site and then retrieve an XML response.
Things were working okay locally, but as soon as I plug in the remote URL in on the xmlhttp.open call, I get a Permission Denied error. I am using ASP and Javascript and developing on IE.

I see this error posted all over the internet, but can't seem to pinpoint a solution or get the assistance I need.

Does anyone have experience in this area?
Thanks.

Disregard this -- I was able to get this to work with my client side/server side scripting ...

Thanks!

There's a bug in MSXML 4.0 and 5.0 (not sure about 3.0)

I'm sorry I don't have the details. It was over a month ago that I discovered it and had to work-around it.

You are better off using 3.0 or ServerXMLHTTP object instead.

I did some testing myself and here's what i found...

Code:

Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0")

permission denied

Code:

Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0")

permission denied

Code:

Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0")

worked! However, could not use some new XMLDOM features I needed

Code:

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

worked! However, could not use some new XMLDOM features I needed

Code:

Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0")

worked!

I'm not sure if I did it the best way, but using the code below fixed the problem for me.

Code:

Dim objXMLHTTP, sResponseText
Set objXMLHTTP = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0")
objXMLHTTP.open "GET", sWebSiteURL, false
objXMLHTTP.send 
sResponseText = objXMLHTTP.responseText 
set objXMLHTTP = nothing

Dim objXML
Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0")
With objXML
    .async = False 
    .validateOnParse = False 
    .preserveWhiteSpace = False
    .resolveExternals = False 
End With
objXML.LoadXML(sResponseText)

'... use objXML object here ...

Set objXML = nothing
