Reading a remote URL using ASP ....

This piece of code can be used as an alternative method to reading a remote URL as described in another article on this site.

The advantage with this method is that it only uses ASP and does not use any components etc. It is also really simple.

<%
Response.Buffer = true

Dim objXMLHTTP, xml, text

Set xml = Server.CreateObject ("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
'Or if this doesn't work then try :
'Set xml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")

xml.Open "GET", "http://www.webconcerns.co.uk/default.asp", false

xml.Send

text = xml.ResponseText
Response.write(text)

Set xml = Nothing
%>

The remote URL is read into the variable 'text'. You can then do whatever you want with the text in your application, such as searching or displaying.
