Retrieval of Remote XML files with ASP

To retrieve remote xml files, like the XML Tutorial here on Flash Kit illustrates, just call on the following ASP page rather then the remote address.

Unfortunately, I have only done this so far is ASP. I'll be working on a PHP version and hopefully someone out there can create a Perl version.

Here it is... Just Copy and Paste it into a new text file and name it fetchXML.asp. Then call on fetchXML.asp from the Flash file.

Code:

---

<%@ Language="VBScript" %>
<%option explicit %>

<%
' -  Just Change the Value of srcFile to the proper moreover xml stream.
' -  Go to http://w.moreover.com/categories/category_list_xml.html
' -  For a Full listing of all of the content available
' -  Instead of Directing the Flash File at a .xml file, direct it to this file.

Dim srcFile
srcFile = "http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=Pop%20music%20news&o=xml"


  'Nothing Below Here Has To Change
  Response.Buffer = True
  Dim objXMLHTTP, xml

  ' Create an xmlhttp Object and Get it!
  Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
  xml.Open "GET", srcFile, False
  xml.Send
 
  'Write Text to File
  Response.Write xml.responseText
  Set xml = Nothing
%>

---

That's It!
