xHTTP send problem

[julian.tklim]

Hi,

I am using trying to send out an XML using ASP. It is actually trying
to call some webservice application using SOAP.

The problem is that the same codes works perfectly fine in Excel VBA on
the same server, but when it comes to IIS server, the program stop at
"xHTTP.send xDoc.XML" line. It seems like the IIS server refuse to let
the XML being sent out using the xHTTP object.

Is there any settings in IIS that I need to enable to allow XML to be
sent out?
Set xDoc = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
Set xHTTP= Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.4.0")

If xDoc.loadXML(SubXML) Then

xHTTP.Open "POST", sRequest, False
xHTTP.setRequestHeader "content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
xHTTP.setRequestHeader "accept", "text/xml/html"
xHTTP.setRequestHeader "accept-charset", "utf-8, iso_8859-1"
xHTTP.setRequestHeader "userid", sUserID
xHTTP.setRequestHeader "pwd", sPassword
xHTTP.send xDoc.XML '--- Program stop here!!! ---

End if

I don't see any error handling in your code. Why not add a bit of error
handling and find out what the problem is?

Hi John,

I tried to put in some reponse.write statement before and after the
"xHTTP.send xDoc.XML" statement.

Eg:
....
response.write "A"
xHTTP.send xDoc.XML
response.write "B"

"A" is being displayed but not "B". No error message is being displayed
from xHTTP.send statement. The browser seems to be forever running this
statement with no timeout.

Thanks.
Julian

Ok, then try running "netstat" and "netstat -n" in a Command Prompt window
while the ASP page is hung. Check to see if there is an open connection to
where you're trying to send.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I tried to issue netstat -n command, seems like there is no connection
established while the codes are running in IIS.

But when I tried run the same codes in Excel VBA for the same server,
there is connection established at the foreign address port 8080.

It seems like IIS is stopping the xHTTP.send function.

IIS is not involved in this. The ASP code is running in a separate process,
and IIS is only involved in sending the requests to it and handling the
responses.

Have you tried using the debugger to see what's going on?

The fact that there is no connection suggests that the send function is not
executing. One possible reason for this is that it may have caused an error.
And, since you have no error handling code...
