TCP/IP connectivity on the fly with ASP and other scripts

What is ShotIp

ShotIp is an OLE automation application (COM application, ASP component etc.) that allows your scripts to connect with other computers on Internet or intranet networks "on the fly". In several strings of code you can retrieve text or binary data from remote Web host, post form data to Web host, send complicated email message containing attachments.

ShotIp can be used with any software supporting OLE automation. This list includes:

	ASP
	VBScript
	Visual Basic
	others
