XML under normal circumstances, if we want to understand the stock market, we must log into the professional stock site, enter the company code to see the specific price. In fact, using the XMLHTTP agreement, each of us can be in their own personal website to provide detailed information on the stock market inquiries service, this article describes how to use ASP, VBScript combined with XMLHTTP programming to achieve this function.
First, the principle
The principle is very simple, in many large websites have real-time updated stock market information, we sent through their own web Server XMLHTTP command to visit the Yahoo Financial site of the stock market database server, from the database to query what we need, and then through ASP Group Composite Web page back to the client.
At the same time, we use the XMLHTTP protocol to achieve the client page without refreshing effect and to the server to provide data retrieval requirements.
XMLHTTP allows you to open an HTTP connection to any server, send some data, and retrieve some data. And all of this is done in a few scripts. The XMLHTTP object is typically used for XML data interchange, but data in other formats is also allowed.
In business applications The standard pattern of this type of interchange is that the client sends a text string to the server, and then the server loads the string into a Xmldom object and interprets it, then returns a paragraph of HTML to the client, or another piece of XML code for the client to let the client's browser explain itself. In this way, it is a very effective form of information transfer, especially if you use DHTML to allow you to dynamically display it based on the return information.
The specific process is: The client through XMLHTTP Stock Quotes query Request-->web Server in the ASP listening page to accept the request, use XMLHTTP to the stock market database server send Retrieval command--> database to perform query operations, Return results to our own Web server (HTML form)-->web the server receives the content, filters out the extra parts of the HTML, picks out the pure stock data, combines the results to the client-> the client browser uses VBScript to display it.
Second, ASP XMLHTTP programming Brief
1, Client dns2.htm page:
<script language= "VBScript" >

Dim Objxml, objxsl, Objfso,strfile, strFileName, Strxsl,strurl, Thestring,theform
Set theform = Document.wordfind
window.status= "Retrieving Data???"
Strurl= "dns2.asp" Server listening page address
Set Objxml = CreateObject ("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") ' creates the XMLHTTP component of MS
Stra = "submit=submit&fqdn=" &theform.webname.value
Objxml.open "POST", Strurl,false ' using post submission method;
Objxml.setrequestheader "Content-length", Len (stra)
Objxml.setrequestheader "Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
Objxml.send stra ' Send message
Xmlget = Objxml.responsebody ' Wait a moment, get the result of the server-side return;
Xmlget = Bytes2bstr (xmlget) ' Converts a single byte into a text Format function, which can be found in the dns2.asp program below;
Theform.comments.value=xmlget
