Accesing version controlled files using asp scripts

[tarundevnani]

I have a file named file1.xml also under C:/tarun/file1.xml

file1.xml looks like:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <elemNames>
<name>elem1</name>
</elemNames>

Method 1:

ASP Script

set xmlDoc=Server.C reateObject("Mi crosoft.XMLDOM" )
xmlDoc.async="f alse"
xmlDoc.load("C:/tarun/file1.xml")
NumberOfBuilds = xmlDoc.getEleme ntsByTagName("n ame").length

Response.write( NumberOfBuilds)

The return value from the previous statement is 1 as there is an
element named 'elem1' with tagName 'name' in file1.xml

Method 2:

I version controlled 'file1.xml' using 'Rational Clear Case' on some
server. (Say the name of the server is 'abc.xyz.com'). I have a file
under 'tarun/file1.xml' on it.

I am able to open the file, file.xml in the broswer (IE) using the
following link:
http://abc.xyz.com/tarun/file1.xml

ASP Script:-

set xmlDoc=Server.C reateObject("Mi crosoft.XMLDOM" )
xmlDoc.async="f alse"
xmlDoc.load("ht tp://abc.xyz.com/tarun/file1.xml")
NumberOfBuilds = xmlDoc.getEleme ntsByTagName("n ame").length

Response.write( NumberOfBuilds)

The retun value from the previous statement is 0 but I expect it to be
1 as there is an element named 'elem1' with tagName 'name' in
file1.xml

Question:
What is the issue with Method 2. Can any one help?
