XMLHTTP send not posting to servlet when aSync=true

Hi,

I'm using MSXML2.XMLHTTP ActiveX object to post an XML string to a servlet
from an Excel add-in.
This is working in all but one case.
The problem I have is that one client's request is not being posted, i.e.
the doPost is not being called on the servlet. It is working for other
clients however.

Here's the VBA:

Dim Req As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP
Req.Open bstrMethod:="POST", bstrUrl:=sUploadServlet, varAsync:=True,
bstrUser:=uname, bstrPassword:=pword
Req.Send sXML

Observations:
* The post works if I make the call synchronous (i.e. Excel waits for the
response)
* The post works if I don't send the XML string
* There are no errors raised in the VBA above

The servlet container is Weblogic running on Solaris with java 1.3, the
client VBA runs in Excel 2000, IE is version 6 SP2.

Thanks,
Antony

Can you elaborate more on your problem?

1. How do you know that the remote method is not called?
2. What is the last readyState number in your call back procedure, if any?
