Hi David
In my case, on the end it show that Java Example had nothing to do with communication with epp server. They give me XML file (and UserName and Password of course), and I connect with EPP server like this:
Line 1

et xmlhttp=Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
Line 2:xmlhttp.open "POST", "
https://devserver.ics.acis.gr:700/epp/proxy", False
Line 3:xmlhttp.send "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8"" standalone=""no""?><epp xmlns=""urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0"" xmlns:xsi=""
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"" xsi:schemaLocation=""urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd""><command><login><clID>ZORAN</clID><pw>ZORAN12345</pw><options><version>1.0</version><lang>en</lang></options><svcs><objURI>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:host-1.0</objURI><objURI>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:contact-1.0</objURI><objURI>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0</objURI></svcs></login><clTRID>nick-12345</clTRID></command></epp>"
