asp include files from different server

[jeffish]

Does anyone know if you can include files from another server/domain?

ie: <!-- #include file="http://www.someotherdomain.com/file.inc" -->

Thank you

I don't think that can be done. Code files are interpreted on the local server, so the display would be blank. Not only that; there would definitely be some security issues involved with that.

Yes, you have to use XMLHTTP

Something like this..

<%
Response.Buffer = True
Dim objXMLHTTP, xml

' Create an xmlhttp object:
Set xml = Server.CreateOb ject("Microsoft .XMLHTTP")
' Or, for version 3.0 of XMLHTTP, use:
' Set xml = Server.CreateOb ject("MSXML2.Se rverXMLHTTP")

' Opens the connection to the remote server.
xml.Open "GET", "http://pathToIncludeOn Differentserver ", False

' Actually Sends the request and returns the data:
xml.Send

'Display the HTML
Response.Write xml.responseTex t


Set xml = Nothing
%>
