httpWebRequest / Javascript

[Thomas Goodson]

Does anybody here have an example of using the httpWebRequest object in
ASP/JavaScript (um...JScript)? I need the basic ability to retrieve a web
page (most likely requested via a POST) into a string variable.

HttpWebRequest is a .NET Framework class and represents server-side code. I
think, as Bruce pointed out, that what you want for Javascript (client side
code) is the XmlHttpRequest object.

Ok, I've seen that page, but it applies to client side usage of the XHR
object and not server side use of the httpWebRequest object.

NOPE! I do what little ASP programming that I do in JavaScript (yes on the
server side.) Bruce's suggestion was great and I use that code on the client
side, but I need to build a proxy on the server to allow access to content
that is not in my domain. (there's more to it than that, but that will do as
a starting point.) While I can use the XMLHTTP object via classic asp, I
would prefer to use the httpWebRequest object in asp.net. The problem is
that I don't program very well in vbscript and all the examples seem to be
in vbscript. I do program in JavaScript, c, c++, php, etc (it's a long
list) I spend a lot of time in JavaScript and have written asp pages in the
past using it as the server side scripting language.
