Re: Communicating over the internet

Hi Lauren,

It sounds like you're asking how to get an .Asp page to send an
XML document to maybe a service that is running? You mentioned
CGI, but I'm thinking along the lines that CGI is any environment
that can accept some form of data and process it. This includes,
but is not limited to, Perl, IIS (.Asp), ColdFusion, and as well as
other technologies.

Knowing how the running program interfaces / interracts with things
could be helpful. The name of the running program might help. If the
running program is something you created and control would help
us understand what's going on.

It's hard to guess at what's going on in this case. It's like asking what's
the best fruit to go with your vegetable.

Thank you for the reply. I have found several articles that look like they
will be very helpful. I think the problem I'm having is that my DLL is
running the the IIS security context and is very limited in what it can do.
