Did you make the adjustments to the code I outlined? Have you tried it via
http instead of https?

D'oh! I think I see it now try inserting the following here:-

xmlDoc.async = false

I still think you should make the other tweaks I recommended as well. ;)

Anthony,

Yes, I followed your directions and here is the new code. The funny part is
I think i used the same way as I coded before and how come it suddenly
doesn't work any more.
Now I tried to debug the xml file step by step. so my xml file first will
look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<enrollment orderID="200808251114527143" PONumber="50000" marketingCode="E"
productName="adventureCenter">
</enrollment>

Ok, no xml needs a top element error message.

so I changed the xml file to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<enrollment orderID="200808251114527143" PONumber="50000" marketingCode="E"
productName="adventureCenter">
<test>Y</test>
</enrollment>

Only one extra line: <test>Y</test> besides the top element.
Now it complains again:
<xmlResponse>
<isSuccess>False</isSuccess>
<errorField>XML</errorField>
−
<errorMessage>
error code: -1072896680 reason: XML document must have a top level element.
line #: 0
</errorMessage>
<policyNumber/>
</xmlResponse>


It seems it only takes a top level element xml file, as soon as I add one
more line to the xml file, it starts to complain. I don't get it.

Yes, I did. See another reply in details.
I used https, I cannot use http. If I used http, it will have the following
error messge:
HTTP 500.100 - Internal Server Error - ASP error
Internet Information Services

Technical Information (for support personnel)

* Error Type:
msxml3.dll (0x80070005)
Access is denied.
/08232008adventureServerHttp.asp, line 13

line 12 and 13 are:
12: xmlhttp.Open
"POST","http://www.travelinsuranceservices.com/ac/xt_ac_B2B.asp",false
13: xmlhttp.send xmlDom '8/23/2008

Hmm... perplexing. Are we seeing all the Server code here? Do you have
other code prior to the above which reads the Request object? Note the
Request stream doesn't support reseting position to the beginning, therefore
once read, it cannot be read again. If you have already consumed the
request stream elsewhere I suspect your code would respond in the way you
are seeing.
