WebRequest

[stschaefer]

I folks,

what I want to do:
Calling a website and use the result. I guess the right way is to create a WebRequest and handle the response in a stream.

Is that possible in Formativ? Tried to create a WebRequest with that code, but it didn’t work:

Dim myRequest : Set myRequest = WebRequest.Create(url)

Greetings,
Stefan

WebRequest in System.Net namespace, we are not sure whether you can use it in VBScript.

However, you can use HTMLDom object then use its methods to access URL. In Formativ, you can use “Utilities.HTMLDom” to acesss HTMLDom object, see the Formativ Language guide for more information.

Sample code below access the URL using Utilities.HTMLDom then use Document (IHTMLDocument2 instance) to get InnerHtml.

  
  dim oHtmlDom

  set oHtmlDom = Utilities.HTMLDom
  if (oHtmlDom.LoadFromURL("http://mycompany.com")) then
     msgbox oHtmlDom.document.body.innerhtml
  end if

  set oHtmlDom = nothing
