This is a known problem which affects certain builds of Pocket PC 2003 and
all builds of Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition. The workaround is pretty
complicated, and involves creating an ActiveX control using ATL and
embedding it in the web page. Other than the complexity of the workaround,
the main disadvantage to this approach is that it means your end users must
download, install and register the ActiveX control before they can use your
HTML content. Unfortunately, there is no other way around the problem.
If you are familiar with creating ATL controls, the process is pretty
straightforward. Start by creating an ATL project and add a simple object
to it - let's call the control "ComAdapter" and the object "ComObject".
Then add the following method to the object:
STDMETHODIMP GetInterface
(
/*[in]*/ BSTR bstrObj, // Name of the object
/*[out, retval]*/ VARIANT *pvarObj // Returned object
)
{
CComPtr<IDispatch> pObj;
IDispatch* pDispatch = NULL;
HRESULT hr = pObj.CoCreateInstance( bstrObj );
if( SUCCEEDED( hr ) )
{
if( pObj )
hr = pObj->QueryInterface( IID_IDispatch,
(void**)&pDispatch );
else
hr = E_NOINTERFACE;
}
VariantClear( pvarObj );
V_VT( pvarObj ) = VT_DISPATCH;
V_DISPATCH( pvarObj ) = pDispatch;
return hr;
}
Finally, you will need to make some changes to your HTML code - something
like this:
var objXML = new ActiveXObject( "ComAdapter.ComObject" );
var objRealXML = objXML.GetInterface( "Microsoft.XMLHTTP" );
objRealXML.open( "POST", url, true );

Subject: XMLHTTP doesn't work, I'm getting access denied
Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2005 05:21:04 -0800
Hello,
I need to write a web application for my pocket PC, here is part of the
code I'm using:
xrequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xrequest.open("POST",url,true );
I'm getting access denied when trying to execute the open method.
The same code works fine when running it using scripting host on the same
pocket PC. Also, the same code works fine on another iPaq I have that uses
win CE 4
Trying to change the security setting in the registry didn't help.
Can someone please help
Thanks,
Shlomi
