Microsoft.XMLHTTP.send hangs...

[lonelydog]

the following code using Microsoft.XMLHTTP hangs while trying connecting to
hotmail. It seems that readyState never change to COMPLETED(4), but remains
INTERACTIVE(3). Connecting to other websites works perfectly.

var xmlhttp;
function loadXMLDoc(url)
{
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
if (xmlhttp)
{
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=xmlhttpChange;
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,false);
xmlhttp.send();
}
WScript.Echo(xmlhttp.responseText);
}
loadXMLDoc("http://www.hotmail.com/");

Does it help if you change the order of statements and do the open()
call first and only then set the onreadystatechange handler e.g.
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,false);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=xmlhttpChange;
?
On the other hand I have seen anyone do a synchronous request (e.g.
open(..., ..., false)) and then use an onreadystatechange handler.

No. no change at all. Connecting to www.hotmail.com still hangs while
connecting to www.yahoo.com is successful.
