Guess what.
Today, I applied Win2000 Service pack 4.
I restarted my PC.
I tried to continue debuging my code using XMLHTTP...
The same exact code stoped working. I get ole error.


I guess you are right. XMLHTTP is gone... At least in server environment, 
like win2k.


In win 9x(such as win98, 98SE, Me), you MUST use XMLHTTP, 
and under Win2000 or XP, you MUST use ServerXMLHTTP.


I even tried VB Code. Nop. It does not work anymore. 
The same exact code fails.
Even, old "MSXML2.XMLHTTPRequest" is gone too.
I just ran this program yesturday!


I looked up MSXML4 sdk help:

"MSXML 4.0 uses WinHTTP 5.0 for the ServerXMLHTTP object, a server-side 
interface for handling HTTP requests. This object differs from the XMLHTTP
object, which performs in a similar role as a client-side interface on 
most computers running Windows. The primary difference between these two
interfaces is that XMLHTTP cannot be used in a server environment. This
is because it depends upon the WinInet component, which was not designed
to provide adequate performance in server-side use"



Hope this info helps.
