reading xml returned on http

[J.D.]

Hello,

I am working on a client project and they have a connection to a catalog
system that passes data back and forth as xml over http

The format of the data is as follow(s)

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<customer-redemption>
<partner-client>USA</partner-client>
<partner-client-participant-id>
<user-name>69</user-name>
<password>xxxxx xxxxx</password>

I have worked on projects where you call a webservice and that returns xml
back to a calling page, but this is not a webservice and I was wondering if
any one had any experience with reading xml over http request, where
apparently this returned as a web page. If you could reply to this post I
would really appreciate it. Thanks.

What do you want to do with the XML data?

Do you know about XSLT?

Here's an indented listing for readability:

Here's another link:
http://www.webpasties.com/xmlHttpRequest/
Guide to Using AJAX and XMLHttpRequest from WebPasties
Also, there was an error in both of our listings:
Here's an indented listing for readability:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

There needs to be a space before "?>" in the above line; as in:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

[J.D.]

Thanks for the examples down below, but what I was looking for was passing
xml between two servers.
but your links were helpful.
