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:
send method
Sends an HTTP request to the server and receives a response.
Syntax
XMLHttpRequest.send(varBody);
Parameters
varBody [in, optional]
Type: any
Any that specifies the body of the message being sent with the request.
FormData object
Contains a set of key/value pairs to send form data. The data is sent in the same format as using the submit method on a form with formEnctype set to "multipart/form-data".
Syntax
var oMyFormData = new FormData();
DOM Information
Inheritance Hierarchy
The FormData does not inherit from any class or interface.

I am attaching an example that uses C$XML and one of the sites it reads data from is "www.nws.noaa.gov/.../KMYF.xml" . I believe you could use C$XML without the ActiveX. Another possibility is to use XML Extensions (BIS).c_2400_xml.txt

I'm not sure what process is currently handling the form submission; however, if you want to process the order through a COBOL program, then, I would recommend using the Xcentrisity Business Information Server (XBIS) for extend product.
XBIS, along with XML Extensions, provides the ability to implement web services in COBOL, so, you could send the web form directly to your COBOL program(s) for processing.
Below is a link to the Xcentrisity Business Information Server for extend data sheet:

Please let me know if you have any questions.
