I’m having problems with the proxy.asp page from Macromedia grabbing the RSS feed and bringing it past my companies firewall. (Below is that script) At least I think it’s a firewall issue. What could be the problem? Is there something I can change or add to the asp script to get it past the firewall? I tried to talk to my IS department and they never even heard of RSS (how sad).  
Here’s the error that gets returned:

Error Type:  
(0x80072EE2)  
/proxy.asp, line 14

this is line 14:  
MyConnection.Send

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

```auto

<%@ LANGUAGE=VBScript%>
<% 
	Response.Buffer=True 
	Dim MyConnection, TheURL
	
	' Specifying the URL
	TheURL = "http://www.macromedia.com/desdev/resources/macromedia_resources.xml"
	
	 Set MyConnection = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
	' Connecting to the URL
	MyConnection.Open "GET", TheURL, False
		
	' Sending and getting data
	MyConnection.Send 
	TheData = MyConnection.responseText

	'Set the appropriate content type
	Response.ContentType = MyConnection.getResponseHeader("Content-Type")
	Response.Write (TheData)

	Set MyConnection = Nothing
%>

```
