Get a file using XMLHTTP

Is this the correct newsgroup for this posting?
I have a problem when using these lines of code:

Dim xmlhttp as Object
set xmlhttp = CreateObject("M icrosoft.XMLHTT P")
Call xmlhttp.Open("G ET", Application.Pro files.ActivePro file.Server &
"/Test.abc", False):
Call xmlhttp.send("" );

when the last line of code is executed, i get the following error message:

"The download of the specified resource has failed. -2146697208"
Application.Pro files.ActivePro file.Server = http://x.x.x.x/virtualdirectory
What is wrong with this code?
Thank you

Only if you are doing this in server-side asp code. If you are doing it in
client-side code, then .scripting.vbsc ript would be your best bet, unless
you need to support non-IE browsers, that is, in which case
..scripting.jsc ript would be better.

No, you're definitely in the wrong place. This is not vbscript, so it can't
be ASP.

Thank you Bob for pointing me to the correct newsgroup, i will post in there
next time for
vbscript related code.

I think i found the cause of my problem. If i try downloading a .ABC file it
works.
My actual problem was downloading .VBA

It looks to me the firewall most likely is blocking the .VBA to be
downloaded
(or maybe the anti-virus), because if i try downloading .EXE, that fails
too.

Uploading from browser to server using Msxml2.XMLHTTP takes a long time about 15 minutes for a 1.5MB file at 37.2Kbps, although it does get there. Is there anyway to speed things up? here's the code ... var sFilename = (document.form1.myFileName.value); // create ADO-stream Object var ado_stream = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Stream"); // create XML document with default header and primary node

Hi. I am somewhat new to this and would like some advice. I want to search my xml file using "keyword" search and return results based on "proximity matching" - in other words, since the search string will often not produce a direct match, the results will be based on proximity (50%, 20% 100%, etc). are there any good examples out there on how to do keyword searches on XML data? How should i set up my xml file so

Hi, I really need you help because I'm not very familliar with ASP and I could not find any solution to my problem. To put you in situation, I have a CGI to which I send a file name, and that script return me that file. But for security reason, I don't want to publish the address of this CGI, so I encapsulated it in an ASP file. This way, only this ASP file knows where the CGI is.

Hi there! A friend of mine asked about how to have a line of HTML be written based on whether or not a certain file exists in the server. So if the file is there, a line of HTML is printed; if the file is not there, the HTML is not written and the browser continues on its merry way through reading the rest of the page. I know, of course, that server-side languages such as PHP, etc. would have no difficulty with this. But can javascript...
