These days I’ve been working on creating feed reader which retrieves data from weather.com site. They provide detailed SDK and information you’ll need to read information from their site.
I had to use ASP as script language to read XOAP service data. What is interesting a lot of sites provide good information how to read XML from ASP. And all they say the following code should work:
where xmlURL is path to actual XML resource (in case of weather.com it’s xoap.weather.com/weather/… ). But it did not. When I put there local path to XML file on my local drive - it worked perfectly but when I used remote URL - it said kinda “Empty XML resource”. I spent some time investigating this issue and it turned out that I had to use extra parameter in order to get access to remote URL (as far as I understood from the explanation this problem appears due to older XMLDOM versions and probably it won’t ever happen on newer Windows installation). So final working code looks like this:
I hope that was helpfull
