Help With Microsoft XMLHTTP

[wdmny]

I am using Microsofts XMLHTTP to attempt to grab pages off of a remote server. Some servers it works, some it doesn't, it just comes back with basic HTML structure. I am using a VB component, but that is not related to the problem. A snippit of my code is below.

When I have http://www.sitepoint.com/ as my strFilePath data, I get this such error.

Set objXML = New XMLHTTP
    
objXML.Open "GET", strFilePath, False
objXML.setRequestHeader "Content-type", "text/html"
    
If objXML.readyState <> 4 Then
    objXML.waitForResponse 20
End If   

    objXML.send

strFileContents = objXML.responseText
        
Set objXML = Nothing

Don't know much about it, but maybe this will help - http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/110100-1.2.shtml

Yeah, I found that yesterday, but it doesn't really help much. Thanks anyways.

It worked fine for me... I got the page returned...

Is the web server behind a proxy? If so, a special proxy configuration program for the XML components (called ProxyConfig) needs to be run before XMLHTTP will work. Get it here:

However the fact that it works at all is very odd. It shouldn't work at all if it hasn't been configured. Perhaps this is not the cause of the problem then...!?

Hmmm... it does work now that I changed my VB code over a little bit and implemented the features to script timeouts and such. Thanks everyone for their help.
