Hi
I'm using Microsoft.XMLHTTP object from within JavaScript HTA
application (or WScript).
Object is set to use asynchronous mode as following:
---------
var oXMLRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
var sURL = "http://www.url.com/page.jsp";
var sParams = "param1=value";
function send()
{
oXMLRequest.Open("POST", sURL, true);
oXMLRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
oXMLRequest.onreadystatechange=sendHandler;
oXMLRequest.Send(sParams );
}
function sendHandler()
{
alert(oXMLRequest.readyState);
}
---------
The point is, destination page is doing redirect sending back '302
Moved Temporarily' status.
Above code runs well if redirection is made to the same host as
specified in 'sURL' variable.
But in case target for the redirection is different, status number '4'
is never displayed.
Statuses 1, 2 and 3 are displayed in both cases.
Below is listening in case the code works:
---------
