Calling REST web services from a classic asp page

Here are a few articles describing how to call a web service from a class ASP page:

• Integrating ASP.NET XML Web Services with 'Classic' ASP Applications
• Consuming XML Web Services in Classic ASP
• Consuming a WSDL Webservice from ASP

You should actually use MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP from ASP/server side applications. XMLHTTP should only be used client side because it uses WinInet which is not supported for use in server/service apps.

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290761, questions 3, 4 & 5 and

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/238425/.

This is quite important, otherwise you'll experience your web app hanging and all sorts of strange nonsense going on.

You could use a combination of JQuery with JSON calls to consume REST services from the client

or

if you need to interact with the REST services from the ASP layer you can use

MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP

like:

Set HttpReq = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
HttpReq.open "GET", "Rest_URI", False
HttpReq.send
