Is it possible to send values from one server to another using custom headers (Response.AddHeader)? A sample code or a link will be appreciated.

I am trying to pass user's information from an ASP 3.0 application hosted on an IIS 5.0 server (Server 1)to a second application running on a second server (server 2) on a different domain. Cookies will not work as they will not work across domains, actually they do but very complicated. So I am passing the information in the HTTP header as follows:

Response.AddHeader "Company", Session("Company_Name")
Response.AddHeader "Email", Session("Email")
Response.AddHeader "Telephone", Session("Phone")


Is there a way to read the information by server 2?
Regards,

Mo

Two standard ways to do it would be

1. A webservice
2. Create a html page with a form on the destination server and HTTP POST or GET to it using the xmlhttp component.

This is totally SOAP/WebService territory, it's simple technology, rugged as boots, can support as much or as little fanciness as you like (eg https, transactionalisation, etc...or just passing a value with a ok/fail response!)

Something else you MAY like to consider is using message queueing for robustness - it adds very little overhead, is pretty simple to work with once you understand it, and prevents you losing data/losing the whole system if server 1/server2 goes down.

Thanks for the response. I will be doing some research on the subjets of SOAP/WebServices and will keep you posted.

They're trivial to write if you do any .NET, but entirely possible with ASP classic too. SOAP = Simple Object Access Protocol, you should find tutorials around, MSDN's certainly worth a try :-)
