Unfortunately, WININET is the only HTTP component that M$ is giving for free. Not that they don't have the technology - they have it in the "Site Server SDK" - but they are not giving it away. I had also come across the same issue, and I also followed the suggestion they make in that "kb" article (using their VB/WINSOCK component). My understanding is that the WINSOCK component is a piece of crap that they didn't even properly document. >From M$ documentation: "WinSock Control ? Allows you to connect to a remote computer and exchange data using either the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)." I also found no documentation about direct HTTP support. Meaning: - It is not a straight forward solution to use the WINSOCK control; - Maybe it is far from being the generic easyest way (I have better alternatives with Delphi); - And they would have done a better service just omitting the WINSOCK, since it sounds like a fake clue. (A component is usually not much better than the documentation about it. Some have at least the source code to act as documentation, but with this one I just felt lost.) Anyway, good luck. You are probably going to need it. Have fun, Paulo -----Original Message----- From: owner-xml-dev@x...
