XMLHTTP Request Object – XML HTTP

Xml http is the XMLHTTP request object, part of Microsoft's XML DOM (Document Object Model). This object is generally used to request documents or data from a web browser. This object was originally designed to provide client-side access to XML documents on remote servers through the HTTP protocol. It exposes a simple API which allows you to send requests and get the resultant XML, HTML or binary data. It is often used to refresh text on a web page without the need to reload the entire page. You'll find more information at http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/X/XMLHTTP.html and more technical information at http://www.w3schools.com/XML/xml_http.asp. You may also see files called msxml3.dll, msxml4.dll or msxml5.dll in your ActiveX list.
