I have a remote RSS feed which has to be transformed into Notes documents

  • 0

I have a remote RSS feed which has to be transformed into Notes documents using LotusScript.

I’ve looked through the documentation, but I can’t find how to open a remote URL in order to retrieve its contents. In other words, some sort of wget- or curl-like functionality. Can anyone shed some light on how to do this? Using Java is not an option.

Thanks.

    Check out the NotesDOMParser class – available in LotusScript – which lets you (indirectly) pull XML from a remote URL and process in a an XML DOM object.

    You can pull the XML into a string using the MSXMLHTTP COM object, then use NotesStream to send the XML to the NotesDOMParser.

    I have not tested, but the code would look something like this:

    ...
Set objXML = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
objXML.open "GET", sURL, False, "", ""
objXML.send("")
sXMLAsText = Trim$(objXML.responseText)

Set inputStream = session.CreateStream
inputStream.Open (sXMLAsText)
Set domParser=session.CreateDOMParser(inputStream, outputStream)
domParser.Process
...
