ASP help for PHP me

[KITT]

Right, I'm familar with PHP and have been asked to convert a load of my PHP code into ASP. Specifically VB ASP.

The bit I'm stuggling with is as follows:

php said:

function httpPost($host, $path, $referer, $data) { $fp = fsockopen($host, 80 ); fputs($fp, "POST ".$path." HTTP/1.0 " ); fputs($fp, "Host: ".$host." " ); fputs($fp, "Referer: ".$referer." " ); fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded " ); fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($data)." " ); fputs($fp, " " ); fputs($fp, $data." " ); fputs($fp, " " ); $tmp_headers = ""; while ($str = trim(fgets($fp, 4096))) $tmp_headers .= $str." "; $tmp_body = ""; do { $data = fread($fp, 4096); if (strlen($data) == 0) { break; } $tmp_body .= $data; } while(true); fclose($fp); return $tmp_body; }

This function basically allows me to call another page on a different server. This is so I can parse the return before I display the result to the user. Is there a way of doing this in ASP?

cheers

I think to do that in ASP you'll need to find a library that does the functions you need. I think the Microsoft Internet Controls COM Object should do the trick.

Your code will be something like

dim htmlObj, szRet, szPage

Set htmlObj = Server.CreateObject( "InetCtls.Inet" )

szPage = "http://theotherserver/thepage.asp"

szRet = htmlObj.OpenURL(szPage)

'now parse szRet
