Microsoft DOM Objects Reference

send()

Syntax

objHTTPRequest.send([varBody])

Remark

The send() method is used extensively in the examples in this book. Once you have opened a connection to a web server with the open method, you can use the send method to communicate with the webserver and then use PUT(), GET(), or similar HTTP commands against the webserver.

Example

Dim objXMLHttp As new XMLHTTPRequest

Dim objDOMDocument As DOMDocument

objXMLHttp.Open "POST", "http://localhost/xmlcode/demo.asp", False

objXMLHttp.Send

Set objDOMDocument= objXMLHttp.responseXML

¬ Open the POST (or GET) connection to the web server.

¬ Establish the connection.

¬ Receive the response-note there are different types of responses; binary and text are also supported.
