programmatically creating thumbnails in classic asp

Hi, I'm having a hard time finding real life examples for my code in classic asp, therefore asking here:
I'm currently building a CMS using CKFinder for image management (which is working completely satisfactory) that supports MetaWeblog/Blogger API for offline editing. The MetaWeblog newMediaObject procedure is being used to upload files from outside the system, placing images in the appropriate folder. However, the system requires that each image have its own thumbnail available (these are generated automatically when the user uploads images via CKFinder). I know the Thumbnail plugin exists, but how do I call it from my XML/RPC handler when a user uploads an image outside CKFinder?

You can call CKFinder requesting the thumbnail and it will created on the fly:

http://yourserver.com/path/ckfinder/cor ... LENAME.JPG

(and in tytpe and currentFolder pass the proper info)

Thank you for pointing that out. I am having the XML/RPC handler send an XmlHttp request to connector.asp with the proper settings after storing the file.

Revisiting this topic, it got shelved for a while, but here goes.

  Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
  xml.Open "GET", "http://mydomain/ckf/core/connector/asp/connector.asp?command=Thumbnail&type=Files&currentFolder=/usr/username/images/polaroids/&FileName=polaroid-gallery15.jpg", False
  xml.Send
  Set xml = Nothing

What does it happen when you

What does it happen when you send that request?

What's the response from the server?
