Obtain XML from URL with SQL Server 2005?

Hi guys,
With SQL Server 2000 I used to create a virtual directory and obtain a XML
from a URL using "http://server/myVirtualDir?sql=select * from myTable FOR
XML RAW &root=root"
Recently we installed SQL Server 2005 (not my fault, lol) and I just don't
know how to do this (neither the guy who is in charge of the server, lol).
I've been searching but I dind't find a thing. Would anybody be soooo kind
to shed some light over this for me?
=)
Thanks a lot!You have to go to msdn.microsoft.com and download SQLXML 3.0
SQLXML 4.0 that comes with SQL Server 2005 does not support the ISAPI
extension any longer that provided VDIR access.
If you miss this, please go to http://connect.microsoft.com/sqlserver and
file a request ;-)
Best regards
Michael

Thanks a lot Michael!
Yes... I found it in the wend. What a @.$#)@.( =P Specially since they
don't mention "officially" in the changes and compatibility issues...
Luckily, the old SQLXML is compatible.
Now I'm trying to figure out how the SQLXML works, since I don't fully
understand how I have to work from .NET and how the SQL works... But well,
in a few ws I'll have some time to work on it. =/
Thanks again!

http://astoria.mslivelabs.com that provides the REST like APIs similar to
the SQLXML component.
