[thelist] database connection across different IP's

[Ken Schaefer]

You can use the MSXML2.XMLHTTP component to simulate HTTP actions (like
POST).

Found this tutorial via Google:
http://www.devarticles.com/art/1/25

If you .vbs file, you'd something like;

Set objXMLHTTP = WScript.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
(or there are newer objects: MSXML4.ServerXMLHTTP etc):

rverxmlhttprequest_7zlc.asp?frame=true

Cheers
Ken
