Re: [development] ASP Integration with Drupal?

I am thinking: strip down the current ASP pages to just grab the needed data, transparent to the end user, and feed it back into Drupal for use and display. I just haven't figured out how to make this happen within Drupal.

A sample module will be very much appreciated and hopefully help others as well.

I would take a look at modules that use external APIs such as Flickr[1] for pointers. Essentially wha you're doing is stripping down the ASP output to a web service ( plain text, xml or even JSON ) and then implementing a server-side-proxy for that data in Drupal. Make sure you use curl instead of fopen as it is much faster. cheers, JeffG [1] http://drupal.org/project/flickr
