[xsl] Absolute paths in document() function under MSXML3 SP1

[Adam Van Den Hoven <Adam dot Hoven at bluezone dot net>]

Hey guys, 

I have a situation where I generate a string that is an absolute URL. I'm
using this string to load an external XML document for processing using
document().

When I'm developing my XSL, I use Stylus Studio. I ran my XSL transform
through their processor and MSXML and in both instances, the transform
worked fine, exactly as I had expected. However, when I went to use the
transform from an ASP page, I ran off of the same system I develop from, I
got the following error:

Error Type:
msxml3.dll (0x80004005)
Error while parsing "http://adam/component/FlashDataNav.xml";. No data is
available for the requested resource. 
/config.asp, line 104

{line 104 is the transform() line)

No the only problem with that is http://adam/component/FlashDataNav.xml
loads quite nicely from IE so the file exists and its valid XML. 

I'm using an MSXML2.IXSLProcessor to do the transformation.

Any ideas?
