  Out of curiosity.... Have you used WinHttpRequest?
I've never used xmlhttp and don't know anything about it.
Since it seems to be part of IE I don't think I'd want
to use it.
 In the past I've avoided API functions like UrlDownloadToFile
that are really just IE calls. It seems very sloppy to me,
writing software that leaves records in IE history and cache,
and may be affected by IE settings.
  So some years ago I wrote winsock code for Interet functions.
But awhile back someone pointed me to WinHttpRequest.
It turns out to be a clean, simple way to make server requests,
without the sloppy IE tie-in. Some of the methods use strings
rather than variants, but it seems to work fine with VBScript.
(I've only used it in VB6, but I've seen VBS code.)
