David,

Essentially what I am doing is outlined below, not much to it, create an
object and execute its method to return XML data.

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% OPTION EXPLICIT

dim o
dim xmlData

set o = Server.CreateObject("Sample.Component")
sArg = Request.Querystring("ARG")

Response.AddHeader "Some", "Value"
Response.Flush 'Seems to cause the </Message> to appear

Response.Write o.Execute( sArg)

%>

The proxy is just a debug tool to view data that is being sent back and
forth between the two applications and is the MS Soap toolkit 3 trace
utility.

Oddly enough I have seen the same type of response viewing the www.cnn.com
site within the trace utility, and I believe the are on nix based servers.
This sort of leads me to believe this could be some kind of protocol or odd
characteristic of the MS trace utility.

Thanx Again
