Can you simulate a form submission from ASP?
Hi,
Is it possible to do a server-side post (simulating a form submission) from
ASP?
I've heard that you can do this with the msmxml object, but I can't find
any examples of a form post simulation on the web (at least not any that
work!)
Thanks.

Found the answer:
<%
dim oXML, url
set oXML = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
url="http://www.somewebsite.com/login.cgi"
oXML.Open "POST", url, false
oXML.setRequestHeader "Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
'We have to set this after the Open() method
'A query string with a trailing space minus the leading question mark
oXML.Send "txtUsername=dave&txtPassword=davespass&butLogin=enter "
'You may want to just write the return data...
'Response.write(oXML.responseText)
%>
<!-- ...but in this example I am redirecting to a particular page after the
user is validated --->
<body onload="location.replace('http://www.somewebsite.com/membersonlypage.htm')"></body>

Oops - forgot to add:
set oXML = nothing
