Thanks Erik, I'll check it out!

>If I had to tackle this problem, I would simply create a COM object to run on the server, and call it with FoxISAPI. I would then use Rick's wwIPStuff class on the client side to build a Request and send it through the windows internet interface- directly to the server (no browser).

>This could all be really simple.
>For the server class:
>DEFINE CLASS GetAuthKey AS Custom OLEPUBLIC

>LPARAMETER lcFormVars, lcIniFile, lnReleaseFlag
>LOCAL lcOutput
>lcOutput="HTTP/1.0 200 OK"+CR+; "Content-type: text/html"+ CHR(13)

>* Calculate the key and record that a key was given
>* IF you need to, you can pass this method parameters in the

>RETURN lcKey

>Then, on the client, use wwIPStuff
>SET CLASSLIB TO /classes/wwIPStuff.vcx ADDITIVE
>oIP = CREATEOBJECT('wwIPStuff')
>lcKey = oIP.HTTPGet('www.MyServer.Com/FoxDirectory/FoxISAPI.dll/MyProject.GetAuthKey.ProduceKey')

>THere are a few issues youhave to get out of the way as far as configuring your COM server and getting FoxISAPI set up, but that stuff is textbook if you know where to do your homework. And your homework is at http://www.west-wind.com/presentations/foxisapi/foxisapi.htm.
