Answer 2

Try this:

Set xmlhttp = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.ServerXMLHTTP")
xmlhttp.Open "POST", "http://yoursite", false
xmlhttp.Send data

Response.Write xmlhttp.ResponseText

Answer 3

I'd suggest ServerXMLHTTP over XmlHttp for the reasons below:

XMLHTTP is designed for client applications and relies on URLMon, which is built upon Microsoft Win32 Internet (WinInet). ServerXMLHTTP is designed for server applications and relies on a new HTTP client stack, WinHTTP. ServerXMLHTTP offers reliability and security and is server-safe.

Example:

    DataToSend = "id=1"
    dim xmlhttp 
    set xmlhttp = server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
    xmlhttp.Open "POST","http://localhost/Receiver.asp",false
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
    xmlhttp.send DataToSend
    Set xmlhttp = nothing
