My project includes a browser. The project script usually makes HTML HTTP requests. The browser creates a reference to MSDOM using javascript (ex):

var oXML=new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0")

I also experimented with the MS XML Messaging object:

var oHTTP=new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")

I liked it. The script was not flashed in the status bar.

Are their prohibitions against using the messenger object (as opposed to standard "scripted" urls). Are the two methods different? Any advice appreciated.
