ASPtear OR XMLhttp?

[electricfox]

I've been using ASPtear for the longest time in my cart to access the secure gateway server. However, recent events have brought the gateway server down periodically, which has pushed asptear beyond its limit - it displays errors to the user without regard to the error handler and has a dummy timeout property that doesn't even work.

So, I've been looking at other options, and came across docs for microsoft's own XMLhttp com. On first glance it looks very similar to apstear, and in inital testing, functions fine (though I have yet to be able test it under "stress").

Does anyone have experience with MS-XMLhttp? Should I use it instead? Caveats to avoid? Advice?

I've had no problems with XMLHTTP can't think of any reason not to use it.
