I need to communicate with another site, which will output some xml when I POST to a certain jsp page with appropriate parameters. What's the best way to get this returned xml into a codecharge variable? I'm new at this, please excuse if it's a dumb question. Thanks.

I forgot to mention: my implementation is in ASP.

Thanks for the pointer, but it's not exactly what I'm asking. I guess I gave too much detail in my question. I can handle the xml. What I want to know is this: how do I (say) click on a button and get the entire HTML text stream from a URL (http://www.someothersite.com/default.asp, for instance) into a hidden field? After the click, the hidden field would contain "<HTML><HEAD>blah blah</HEAD><BODY>..." etc. I know I can write a DLL function to get the text, but I'd think there'd be a more natural way to get it into a codecharge variable.

in asp, use the XMLHTTP object, you can use it for get and posts. It will return the entire stream. just google XMLHTTP and you will find plenty of examples.

That did it - thanks. ServerXMLHTTP40 in MSXML4 is the exact object I ended up using - very sweet, indeed.
