I used the <code>clsXMLHttpMonitor</code> example from <a href="http://www.tushar-mehta.com/publish_train/xl_vba_cases/vba_web_pages_services/index.htm">this page</a> as a starting-off point. How can I access the response text when readyState = 3? The example works fine for smallish requests.<br> But when the response is sufficiently large, Excel will freeze up into a "(Not Responding)" state and sometimes come back and sometimes seem to hang forever.<br> <br> I know about readyState 3, but when I check for it, it seems that <code>responseStream</code> is either empty or "non-readable".<br> <br> Is there something I am missing about how to get access to the stream of data as it arrives with this object?<br> <br> <i><b><u>OR...</u></b></i><br> <br> Is there an alternative object I can use from within VBA to accomplish the desired result?<br> Preferably with code examples?<br> <br> My stackexchange-fu has failed on this one; my similar question there has been met with silence. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2013:site.232710 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 10:35:51 -0800 ajax excel msxml2 OnReadyStateChange resolved vba jozxyqk
