I have an online trading account that i use to trade currencies with
and i want to be able to get the data form my account and save it to a
database so i can do futher analysis. Is it possible to use ASP to access the page then log in and pass the date parameters to the page and retrieve the data? I recall someone doing a similar thing with ASP/XML??? |

This link may help you

but what you want to do sounds too complex, to do that you will have to
handle cookies post headers etc. It is doable though |

That's helps but now i have a problem as the other page is a pearl
script and it does not have a form tag in it. I have tried passing the paramertes as but it just comes back saying no parameters have been passed. Is there anyway around this? |

Shouldn't matter about it being a cgi as long as it's a url. Try POST instead of GET or vice versa. Like mart said though, you may have to mung the headers and/or cookies. Goolge for XMLHTTP or ServerXMLHTTP - similar but use different ip stacks. EDIT: - Almost forgot... I have an example of this at http://new2asp.com/Section_Files/PullStrings/xmlhttp.asp - http://new2asp.com/Section_Files/PullStrings/xmlhttp.asp -------------

Interesting. I didn't realize that you needed to use ServerXMLHTTP for ssl. -------------
