Why does Microsoft.XMLHTTP not work?

mega · August 6th, 2003, 06:24 AM

On the client we use an ActiveX (Microsoft.XMLHTTP) but suddenly it stoped working. The problem was the character format changed (we think to Latin1), but we needed Unicode because of the Danish letters.
When we changed it to MSXML2.XMLHTTP it worked again. Why did the original service stop working and is it something you can expect will happen again?

Does new service packs on the client got anything to do with it?

:D I found the answer:
1.<script language="javascript"
2. var xmlString = "";
3. xmlString = ClientObj.GetInitRequest();
4. alert(xmlString);
5. var Sender = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
6. Sender.Open("POST", "http://Myserver/CatalogService/Server.asp", false);
7. Sender.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=EUC-KR"); //Just pick the right charset!
8. Sender.Send("XMLRequest=" + xmlString);
9.</script>
Line 7 above...
