Hi,
I am using a 3rd party product that returns XML when
calling its exe through a URL. For instance, the
following URL calls this exe in Internet Explorer and
returns valid, well formed XML and displays it in the
browser: http://server/app/livelink.exe?
func=search&where1=report&outputformat=xml
My goal: I want to send this http request in VB.NET code,
in ASP.NET and store the XML that is returned in an XML
document.
So, my general question is: How can I store the XML
returned by an http request, in an XML Document?
Thanks in Advance,

You can store it in an xml document if that is what you will need to do with
it.
if you are just going to store it in a database or drive, just use a string.
you can just use the response.GetResponseStream() of the HttpWebResponse
and pass it into the Load method of the XmlDocument.
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(response.GetResponseStream())
be careful, if it is not valid xml, it can throw an error.

Thanks for the reply Joe. Unfortunately, the exe that is
returning the XML must be doing things a bit strangely.
When I actually stream the contents of GetResponseStream()
to a file, instead of the actual XML, I get the following:
<HTML>
<!-- File: redirectmeta.html -->
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Livelink - Redirection</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;
URL=/us_ll9103tst/livelink.exe?
func=search&lookfor1=allwords&where1=repor t&out
putformat=xml">
</HEAD>
</HTML>
<!-- End File: redirectmeta.html -->
It seems as if the livelink.exe is going through a two
step process where it:
1) accepts the request and sends a redirection response.
2) whatever it redirects the request to processes the
request and sends the XML as the response.
I am getting the response for #1 above, which is the
redirection... I think.
Anyway, thanks for the reply.

.
yes it is. For some reason they set up the site for a web browser, not a
service.
Is the status returned a 302?
