Question

I need to have a page on my website that when opened will read another URL address and capture the response from it (it’s actually XML data responding) and then save that data on that same webservr to a file called DATA.XML

It needs to overwrite any file that is already there.

I only have ASP.NET available to me as a progrmming language.

Can someone show me how to do this in a ASP page.

Answer 1

so something like?

1. Get the response from the other URL in to strResult.

   WebResponse objResponse;
   WebRequest objRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(strURL);
   objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse();
   using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream()))
   {
     strResult = sr.ReadToEnd();
     sr.Close();
   }
   return strResult;
   

2. Use System.IO to save the strResult to a file (you can look that up as its pretty common code)
