How can I send a variable to a remote server and store its response?

How can I POST form data to a server and collect its response in the same ASP page?

How do I POST data, Receive the results and continue processing in same ASP page?

This can be extremely handy, especially if you are planning to check a 
database to, let's say, check whether a username is already taken 
(when someone is signing-up for your site) and retain all of the other 
form information so that the user does not have to retype it.  This is 
the best ASP 3.x solution. 
<%
If Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST" Then
	fName = Request("Fname")
	lName = Request("Lname")
	nick = Request("Nickname")
	eMail = Request("Email")
	password = Request("Password")
	If Request("Password") = Request("ReEnterPassword") Then
             'Check database to make sure the username and email
             'address are not taken
             'If not, post the new user information to the database and
             Response.Redirect("userhomepage.asp")
        End if
End if
%>
If the page does not get redirected, then either the username or 
password were rejected, or the Password and Re-Enter Password fields 
did not match. The page will continue back to the original form and 
you can then add the previously-entered values to your fields so that 
your users don't have to re-enter them:
<input type="text" name="Fname" value="<%=fName%>">
<input type="text" name="Lname" value="<%=lName%>">

Happy ASPing!
Other Methods:
I am assuming you are trying to ask whether you can post and receive a 
response in the same ASP Page. This is possible with asp.net via a 
function but in asp, there is no direct built-in function to 
accomplish this task. However there is a work-around for this task.
Anyway, hope that the code helps because I did not test the code and I 
just typed it off-hand before going to bed.
Method 2
>>form.asp
<%
ChkPostBack = request.querystring("ispostback")
if ChkPostBack = "1" then
     'if ChkPostBack returns 1, then this is a post back
     'insert your code here
     Replytxt = request.form("Replybox")
     'you might want to do error checking here
     response.write(Replytxt)
else
     'if the user is looking at the page for the first time
%>
<form action="form.asp?ispostback=1" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="Replybox">
    <br>
    <input type="submit">
</form>
<%
end if
