Using MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0 to get a form value

[dfordinal]

I am calling a remote web server and awaiting data that is being passed back to my process in a form variable.

postData = "fname=John"
Set xmlHttp = Server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0")
Call xmlHttp.Open("POST", "http://www.webSite.com", false)
Call xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
Call xmlHttp.send(postData)
Response.ContentType = "text/html"

'Need to get two values from a form.

I am familiar with getting back the xmlHttp.responsetext to get back all of a webpage that is passed back but not how to get individual values from the form.

If you know the names of the form inputs, you just call them as request("inputName") or request.form("inputName"). If you don't know the names, you can loop through them like this:

for each x in request.form
   'perform action on request(x)
next

Let me know if this helps.

I thought I would have to get the form data from the responsetext of the object.

I guess that depends on whether you are using "classic" ASP or ASP.NET. In "classic" ASP all requests are in THE request object. If you are using ASP.NET, then you posted in the wrong forum - this forum is for classic ASP only - as the sticky at the top of this forum says.
