This problem does not occur if the
Load method points to a file path. This problem may occur if DOMDocument loads an XML file over HTTP when MSXML is operating in a server-side or client-side multi-core environment.
Steps To Reproduce Behavior
The following VBScript code causes the error message to occur:
<%Option Explicit%>
<%Response.Buffer = False%>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<%
Dim oXML, oXMLError, ReturnValue, x
Set oXML = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
oXML.async = False
ReturnValue = oXML.Load("http://myserver/myxmlfile.xml")
Response.write "Result of load method is =" & ReturnValue & "<br>"
If ReturnValue = False Then
Set oXMLError = oXML.ParseError
Response.Write "  " & oXMLError.ErrorCode & " - " & oXMLError.Reason & " URL=" & oXMLError.URL &
"<br>"
Set oXMLError = Nothing
End If
Response.Write oxml.parseError.reason
For x = 0 to oxml.childNodes.length
Response.Write "Node " & x & ". "
Next
Set oXML = Nothing
%>
</body>
</html>
To set the
SetProperty method to True, add the following line to the preceding code, immediately following the line: oXML.async = False:
oxml.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", true
For servers that are running on an intranet, the
ServerHTTPRequest property requires you to run the WinHTTP proxy configuration utility, Proxycfg.exe. You cannot configure these settings by means of Control Panel.
Currently, the Proxycfg tool is only available by installing the following service packs or software:
- Windows Server 2003 (all editions)
- Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1)
- Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3) or later
- Sharepoint Portal Server
For more information about how to run the Proxycfg.exe utility, see the Readme.txt file that is included with the download or with the Microsoft XML 3.0 SDK. After you run the Proxycfg.exe tool and update the registry, the previous registry settings cannot be restored.
If anonymous access is allowed in the virtual directory that contains the ASP page that loads the XML file, make sure that the account that is used for anonymous access is a domain account. By default, Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) sets this account to a local server account, such as IUSR_MACHINENAME. This account may not have sufficient rights to the XML file that is located on the other server.
If the IIS server does not have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2 (SP1) or a later version installed, you receive the following error message when you try to access the ASP page:
error 'ASP 0115'
Unexpected error
/MyVirtualDirectory/MyASPPage.asp
A trappable error occurred in an external object. The script cannot continue running.
