See also the notes after the list

1. fetch.asp
    FETCH A TEXT RESOURCE
    
    Open the file and enter URL. Then click the Fetch button.
    
    This sample uses the NetProbe to fetch resource from network
    or other protocol. As you can see it is capable to work through
    http, ftp, res, about, file and any other protocol.
    
    If the content you want is not a text you will need to use the
    Response property instead of ResponseText - and this is the only
    difference.
    
2. chm.asp, sample.chm
    FETCH TEXT RESOURCE FROM CHM (HTML HELP) FILE
    
    Open the chm.asp file and click the button.
    
    This sample shows how NetProbe can help to reach resources
    packed in some special archives or resources accessible through
    some other protocols - network or non-network protocols.
    
    As in teh previous example in case of binary data you will use
    the Response property.
    
    The same trick can be used with other protocols - such as res:
    for example.
    
3. post.asp, post-srv.asp
    
    Just open the post.asp file.
    
    This file performs form post to other ASP page. You can put them 
    on different servers and change the URL in the post.asp. In other
    words this is basic example on how the network can be transparent
    for your ASP pages or other applications.
    
4. postfile.asp, receivefile.asp

    This sample will need ActiveX Pack1 components installed on the both 
    sides - See http://www.newobjects.com/prodct/ID/63
    
    Place the both pages on different servers and copy this README.TXT
    file (or create non-empty other file with this name) in the directory
    containing the postfile.asp. Then open it and enter the full URL to
    the receivefile.asp on the other server. It will receive the file and
    save it to the disk.
    
    This will work also with ALP 1.1 beta or later (on both or one of the 
    sides).
    
Notes
~~~~~

The examples can be viewed with ALP - local ASP/CGI processing engine
that makes IE client and server at the same time.
http://www.newobjects.com/alp

Also the Storages and Files (ActiveX Pack1) will be required for the last
example and if you want to give your ASP pages real power when working
witth local file system, files, OLE files, other streams, configurations etc.

The mentioned ALP 1.1 beta is currently not published officially. By the time
you reading this readme it may be already online. The download URL is provided
on request until the docummentation/samples are not fully written.

Synchronization example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

pool.asp demonstrates the Borrow/Free methods in action. The page duplicates the 
fetch.asp but uses one single NetProbe object kept in the Application collection.
It borrows it when needed and frees it after completing the request.
