Worked around a nasty issue on an ASP site today, I’m was using the MSXML2.XMLHTTP.4.0 object to post an XML packet to a SOAP server. Worked great on our development and staging servers, but I installed it (the app) on the client server today and get this… calling the send() method completely hangs IIS, you can’t stop the service, you can’t restart the service. Here’s the code snippet in question:<\/p>\n
Dim objHTTP
\nSet objHTTP = Server.CreateObject(“Msxml2.XMLHTTP.4.0”)
\nobjHTTP.open “POST”, “http:\/\/yourhost\/endpoint.do”, false
\nobjHTTP.setRequestHeader “Content-Type”, “text\/xml”
\nobjHTTP.setRequestHeader “SOAPAction”, “urn:myserver\/soap:ThisName\/thisMethod”
\nobjHTTP.send xmlpacket
\nstrReturn = objHTTP.responseXML.xml<\/p>\n
