cURL and XML

[NancyJ]

Is there an asp version of cURL in asp? ie. I need to send an SSL POST request to an external url (HSBC) and receive an xml response back and then process it.

I'm putting together a feasibility study for a client who is currently using an asp windows server. They want to start processing credit card data using HSBC's API which means I need to send ssl post data and process the xml data returned. If this is going to be not possible or be too much of a pain, they're going to move to a linux server. I need to determine which would be the best option

I don't know anything about asp, but as you can see in the right side of
the page of this link:

http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/

don't seems to be any such binding.

I hope this help.

best regards

I know there is no cURL for asp - what I'm asking is if there is something else that does the same thing - I can't google it when I don't know what its called.

I know .net has WebRequest but this is asp 'classic'

Depends on the xml response you recieve. Maybe SOAP will work for you.

you could try using ServerXMLHTTPRequest (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms766431(VS.85).aspx)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms766431(VS.85).aspx looks quite similar to the XMLHttpRequrest
