Hi,

I need to send XML-Document(Request) to another Webserver through sockets. I wrote the following script but I have a problem with encoding. I put <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> in my XML-Document and the receiver finally got <?xml version="1.0"?>. It seems that encoding has been ignored... Does anybody has an idea?

Thanks
Gilles

strServer = "xxx.xxx.xx.xx"
    Set SendDoc = server.createobject("Msxml2.DOMDocument")
    SendDoc.async="false"
    SendDoc.Load(Server.MapPath("/Bookings/XML/PriceRequest/test.xml"))

    Set socket = Server.CreateObject("Socket.TCP")
    Socket.Host = strServer + ":6100"
    Socket.Open
    Socket.timeout = 100000
    Socket.SendLine(SendDoc.XML)
    Socket.SendText(chr(0))

    Socket.WaitForDisconnect()

    Set NewDoc = server.createobject("Msxml2.DOMDocument")
    newDoc.async="false"
    newDoc.LoadXML(Socket.Buffer)

    ' Save XML-File back to BookingResponse
    newDoc.save(Server.MapPath("/Bookings/XML/BookingFile/test.xml"))

The XML property of a domdocument is a utf-16 string. You will have to pass and receive a different way if you need to keep the encoding. Does Socket.TCP have any other way of receiving the data to send?
