MSXML object, Sessions, and Cookies?

[Guest]

I'm at a beginner-level of programming, so please be kind.

We've got a VBScript that uses the MSXML object to pull HTML content from a
web server, assuming that the most complicated authentication is against AD
(which we're passing directly to the server with our query through the
object). The point is to do some custom content-scan tasks. So far, this
has been pretty basic stuff, and we're limited to sites/servers that aren't
asking for an authentication negotiation process.

Now, we're looking to get a bit more sophistocated with it. Specifically,
we're needing to handle sessions and cookies.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried using the MSXML object for this purpose,
and if there are any code examples (VBScript or otherwise) willing to be
shared.

Oh, and I did try searching for this through Google, Dogpile, and a host of
other search engines, but I keep coming up empty. Also, if this isn't the
most appropriate area for this question, please let me know.

If your question isn't answered here then try the VB group...

Open OE > Tools > Accounts > Add > News > msnews.microsoft.com > follow the
wizard with a fake name and fake email address

Then let them load and find the microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript which is
a great place for a beginner to hang out and ask questions. It's easier than
the CDO interface that you're using and has the added benefits of being able
to be searched off-line. I don't visit there very often because it's too
complex for me.
