I have been given this xml and ask to post to a url

<eocrequest>
<authentication>
<username>eocrequestor</username>
<password>I3bffCJF3eaXOWvwDppp</password>
</authentication>
<request>
<type>link</type>
<groupno>1503160005</groupno>
<memberno>XFL123456789</memberno>
<membereffdate>01012006</membereffdate>
</request>
</eocrequest>

And this i should receive this response. Can someone tell me the quickest way to do this?

<eocresponse>
<response>
<groupno>195001B001</groupno>
<memberno>XFL123456789</memberno>
<membereffdate>01/01/2006</membereffdate>
<groupeffdate>01/01/2006</groupeffdate>
<filelink>http://wlp1.mysite.com/eoc/195000-195000F001-11012005.pdf</filelink>
</response>
</eocresponse>

dim xmlstr, WSRequest, Status, ResponseText, StatusText

xmlstr = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>"
xmlstr = xmlstr &"<eocrequest>"
xmlstr = xmlstr &"<authentication>"
xmlstr = xmlstr &"<username>eocrequestor</username>"
xmlstr = xmlstr & "<password>I3bffCJF3eaXOWvwDppp</password>"

xmlstr = xmlstr & "<membereffdate>01012006</membereffdate>"
xmlstr = xmlstr & "</request>"
xmlstr = xmlstr & "</eocrequest>"

set WSRequest = Server.createObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")


WSRequest.Open "POST","http://l8z8r241.corp.mybox.com:8001/EOCWGSApp/EOCWGSRequest" ,false

WSRequest.Send xmlstr

StatusText = WSRequest.statusText
ResponseText = WSRequest.responseText

response.Write Status&"<br>"
response.Write StatusTest&"<br>"
Response.Write ResponseText

thanks Glenn, i ended up just poting a form to the url with the xml as a string as the one input field. That worked...
