Hi all,

Are there any theories on how an application could communicate interactively, in an automated fashion, with active server pages (ASPs) on a website?

Essentially, the application needs to pass query parameters to an ASP on some webserver, then "scrape" the query results page to retrieve the data. I don't know if this is even possible, but we have been asked to do it. Do we *need* to go through a browser to talk to the ASP?

This kind of thing is new to me, and I'm wondering if anyone has experience along these lines.

TIA,
