receive xml from https post in classic ASP

Hi all,

I am writing an ASP page which is listening and waiting to receive a xml
from third party vendor. I have googled for a while. It seems to me in ASP
page, if the vendor stores xml data in a field, say, XmltoTis, then I can do
the following.(please check for me if my understanding is right :=)
InputXMLValue=Request("XmltoTis")
Set objXMLDoc=Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
objXMLDoc=InputXMLValue
''from here I can start to parse the xml data, right
Set IncomeInfoRoot=objXMLDoc.documentElement
Set DescNode=IncomeInfoRoot.selectSingleNode("totalPayment")
Response.Write DescNode.Text & "
"
....

what about if they store xml in the body, what should I do in classic ASP. I
saw
in .net discussion forum, people can use Request.InputStream, but not sure
how can I deal with it in asp, not see this kind of discussion.
Can you shed a light on me?
Thanks.

This :-

objXMLDoc=InputXMLValue

should be:-

objXMLDoc.LoadXML InputXMLValue

If the XML is posted directly as the entity body of the request (as it
should) then use:-

objXMLDoc.Load Request

Anothony,
Thank you so much for the post. It's very helpful. Your name is very

No wonder your MVP for microsoft.
