yup stephen you can get external files like this over the web:

set objxml=server.CreateObject("microsoft.xmlhttp")

objxml.open "GET", "http://www.domain.com/users/test/counter/counter.asp",
false
objxml.send

output=objxml.responsetext

set objxml=nothing

output now contains the processed url.

you can even post data in this manner - this is useful if you want free
webspace, you can use brinkster to do the processing of data while using
phidji to fire emails :D

if you want to post data you do it slightly different:

set objxml=server.CreateObject("microsoft.xmlhttp")

objxml.open "POST", "http://www.domain.com/users/test/counter/counter.asp",
false
objxml.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
objxml.send "email="&email&"&namen="&namen
output=objxml.responsetext

set objxml=nothing

the page your opening will act as if its been posted too and will pick up
the form values email and username. damn useful.
