how to implement UPS Rates API in Classic ASP.?

so i pretty much finished my asp shipping cart. and im at the point where i want to make a tiny little drop box that shows ups shipping methods and the price next to it (2 day shipping ($4.00)) and depending on what they choose it would change the total cost of the order. i contact UPS... got the Rates API.zip. and then KABOOM!!!!!! xml, java, visual basic. 8 BILLION WAYS to make something so simple so INTENSLY hard. documentation provided tells u about the history of xml and how and where not to use the ups logo. and tech support has no idea what programming even is... Its like the world best kept secret of how to use that drop box. How can i implement rates API into classic ASP?! oh if there was an answer i would be so happy. Or if someone can show me a working example of the code that would solve all issues.

1. If I showed you a copy of code that works, I'd have to go write it myself, and frankly I have absolutely zero inclination to wade through that intensely hard crap. So... let me point you at some other intensely hard (8 billion ways to make something so f...ing simple so absolutely complicated) way to solve your problem. In others words, I fully understand where you're coming from. I had to deal with the same XML processing when I used classic ASP to interface to Twitter's API. Start here: http://www.devguru.com/technologies/xmldom/quickref/node_selectnodes.html And when you begin to understand the whole thing, then pop up to the index here: http://www.devguru.com/technologies/xmldom/quickref/xmldom_index.html Good Luck. When I used it, I created a class to encapsulate it so I wouldn't have to remember the details of what I needed to do, and prayed that Twitter wouldn't dramatically change their XML responses. And while they didn't, access to their API got so slow that it was practically worthless.
