New to this XML stuff help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to retrieve an XML form that is embedded on an HTML web page. I'm trying to use "IXMLHTTPRequest" to accomplish this I found the below example of how to this in VB. Can you help me translate this to COBOL. Specifically I'm not sure how to create the "FormData" object.
VB EXAMPLE:
Retrieving a FormData object from an HTML form
To construct a FormData object that contains the data from an existing element represents a document section that contains interactive controls to submit information to a web server." href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form"<form>, specify that form element when creating the FormData object:
var formData = new FormData(someFormElement);
For example:
var formElement = document.getElementById("myFormElement");
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open("POST", "submitform.php");
request.send(new FormData(formElement));
Additional info I've found:
