AFP3Client.DLL is a Visual FoxPro 8.0 multithreaded COM server that you can install on any machine, not just on the server. The object AFP3.Client as defined on the server provides functionality that lets you access an AFP server from a Windows application.
Local loClient
loClient = CreateObject("AFP3.Client")
lcHTML = loClient.HTTP.Get("http://myserver.com/result.afp")
With the help of the HTTP reference you have access to the HTTP object that is also available to you in the AFP itself. If you wish to set properties, the GetHTTP() function lets you generate a further instance.
