Stored procedures
Calls an external script (.asp or .php) and returns the result in a string. An HTTP request is performed: you have the ability to use a POST method or a GET method.
Example
// Runs the "Script1.php" script found at the root of the Web site
// and returns the result in MyBuffer
MyBuffer is Buffer
MyBuffer = ScriptExecute("/Script1.php")
// Login page in asp. Sends 3 parameters with the POST method
MyBuffer is Buffer
MyBuffer = ScriptExecute("/ASP/Login.asp", ...
"Name=BOB&Pass=My+Secret&Lang=3", True)
// Retrieve the "home" page of the "server2" site
MyBuffer is Buffer
MyBuffer = ScriptExecute("http://www.server2.csom/default.htm")
HTMSTC_HTMLStatic = MyBuffer
