Making a ServerXMLHTTP with a custom protocol in the URL

Question

Here's what I'm trying to do...

oXMLHTTP = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0");
oXMLHTTP.open("GET", "ccte://recservice.com", false);
oXMLHTTP.send();

And here is the error I get in return...

msxml3.dll error '80072ee6'
The URL does not use a recognized protocol

It works fine if I make the request using the HTTP protocol (i.e. http://recservice.com instead of ccte://recservice.com). Is there anything I can do within the IIS configuration to get ServerXMLHTTP requests working with my custom protocol?

I doubt that error comes from your URL, is not getting that far. It's the ServerXmlHttp that is raising the error, so configuring IIS would have no affect. — user692942

I would be surprised if custom protocols are supported, the clue is in the name ServerXmlHttp. Frequently asked questions about ServerXMLHTTP. — user692942

While I've not been able to find anything conclusive I would be very surprised if this was supported.

The error

msxml3.dll error '80072ee6'
The URL does not use a recognized protocol

is the first clue as it's the ServerXmlHttp object that is raising the error, not IIS or other lower level sources.

Another clue is the name ServerXmlHttp, which tells you this object supports the HTTP protocol (to by extension to a certain extent HTTPS).

This object is not a TCP/IP Client, it's a Web Client so anything over than standard Web Protocols is not going to be supported.
