ASP Classic, SOAP / XML Request and response

Question

Fairly new to this so please bear with me.

i have been given this as a request

POST /weblordinterface/interface.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: weblord-test.toshiba-tro.de
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
  <soap12:Body>
    <_getCaseById xmlns="http://weblord.toshiba-tro.de/">
      <sIdCase>string</sIdCase>
      <sUser>string</sUser>
      <sPassword>string</sPassword>
    </_getCaseById>
  </soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope> 

from the servicve provider and this as a response

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
  <soap12:Body>
    <_getCaseByIdResponse xmlns="http://weblord.toshiba-tro.de/">
      <_getCaseByIdResult>xml</_getCaseByIdResult>
    </_getCaseByIdResponse>
  </soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>

i have written an ASP page that has the IDcase / user / password forwarded to me and i know this part works as i can display all 3 onscreen.

my code is :-

<%

dim sUser 
dim sPassword
dim sIdCase

sIdCase=Request.QueryString("sIdCase")
sPassword=Request.QueryString("sPassword")
sUser=Request.QueryString("sUser")

Dim objXMLHTTP 
set objXMLHTTP = server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0") 

Dim strRequest, strResult, 


strRequest ="<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'  xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'  xmlns:soap12='http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope'>" _
& "    <soap12:Body><_getCaseById xmlns='http://weblord.toshiba-tro.de/'><sIdCase>" & sIdCase & "</sIdCase>" _
& "            <sUser>" & sUser & "</sUser> <sPassword>" & sPassword & "</sPassword></_getCaseById></soap12:Body></soap12:Envelope>"
objXMLHTTP.open "POST", "http://weblord.toshiba-tro.de/weblordinterface/interface.asmx" , true
objXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader "User-Agent","HTTP/1.1"
objXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader "Host","weblord-test.toshiba-tro.de"
objXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8"
objXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Length", Len(strRequest)
'objXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader "SOAPAction", "http://weblord.toshiba-tro.de/"

objXMLHTTP.send(strRequest)


If objXMLHTTP.status = 200 Then
    TextResponse = objXMLHTTP.responseText
    XMLResponse = objXMLHTTP.responseXML
    StreamResponse = objXMLHTTP.responseStream
Else
    response.write("we have an error")
End If

Set objXMLHTTP = Nothing


%>

Can someone please enlighten me as to how i can get the response and display it, i seem to get an error at the

If objXMLHTTP.status = 200 Then

line of

msxml3.dll error '8000000a'

The data necessary to complete this operation is not yet available.

Can one of you experts please help

Answer 1

You are specifying an asynchronous request when you open the connection. So the data is not yet available in the subsequent code. Change this to a synchronous request instead.

ie. change from this...

objXMLHTTP.open "POST", "http://weblord.toshiba-tro.de/weblordinterface/interface.asmx" , true

...to this...

objXMLHTTP.open "POST", "http://weblord.toshiba-tro.de/weblordinterface/interface.asmx" , false

Answer 2

Figured it out folks

Host: weblord-test.toshiba-tro.de

is what was given, i was posting to

objXMLHTTP.open "POST", " http://weblord.toshiba-tro.de/weblordinterface/interface.asmx "

Once i added -test in it now works.
