Posting ASP null character to XML Socket Server

[Shawn]

Hey there i'm trying to post a section of XML code to an XMLSocket
Server via ASP I can successfully connect to the server, but it won't
disconnect because the string needs a null character inserted at the
end in order for the socket server to terminate the connection. how
would i do this? i've tried chr(32), chr(0).. anyother ideas?

newdoc="<USER> [phone]</USER><MESSAGE>test
</MESSAGE><USERID>[phone] </USERID>"

[Jeff Dillon]

Try ....</USERID>" + ""

Nope didn't work.. spaces, chr() or even %20's don't work.. any other ideas?

You can append nulls like this:

strTmp = string(2,0) 'some win32 routines expect 2 nulls
newdoc="<USER>
[phone]</USER><MESSAGE>test</MESSAGE><USERID>[phone] </USERID>" &
strTmp

Here's a vbscript test page that demos this

<%
Option Explicit

dim strtmp, i

strtmp = string(2,0)
Response.Write strtmp & "<br>"
Response.write len(strtmp) & "<br>"
for i = 1 to len(strtmp)
response.write asc(mid(strtmp,i,1)) & "-"
next
Response.Write "<br><br>"

strTmp = "<USER>
[phone]</USER><MESSAGE>test</MESSAGE><USERID>[phone] </USERID>" &
strtmp
Response.Write strtmp & "<br>"
Response.write len(strtmp) & "<br>"
for i = 1 to len(strtmp)
response.write asc(mid(strtmp,i,1)) & "-"
next

%>

However, if the object you are calling was intended to be called from ASP
then I would expect it to append a null to the input string itself. Don't be
surprised it the above doesn't help.
