Hi,

Env. IIS5.0 on Win2K; Authentication set to use Windows Integrated 
Authentication. NO Anonymous access.

My application has few ASP pages that process few other ASP pages in the 
same application (Virtual Dir.) using SERVERXMLHTTP and show the content.

Since the calls are IntraApp, I always used to frame my url as 
http://localhost/MyApp/MyPage.asp and everything seemed to work fine.

Later on, I had to extend it to support https access. We obtained the proper 
server certificate; applied it; modified the url to use https://localhost.... 
and everything seemed to work fine.

With MSFT patch KB824151, this doesn't work anymore and it expects to have a 
server certificate for the site localhost. I tried to workaround by using the 
site name in the URL in place of localhost 
(https://mysite.domain.com/MyApp....). This gives me erro 401.2 - permission 
issues.

I understand that I probably need to pass the username and password to the 
Open method, but as you all know, we wouldn't be able to pass the credentais 
from the source ASP page.

How do I get rid of this problem and more importantly, what is the best way 
process ASP pages within the same App using SERVERXMLHTTP.

You help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks a lot in advance,
Laxmikanth
