Consuming external webservice with ASP

I'm doing a simple page to register users. However after I get the user's input I need to call a web service to get a token which will then allow me to call another web service which will finally proceed to register the user (using the input AND the token). So what I want to know is how to call this WS and retrieve it's response and then add that response (which would be the token) to the form used for user registration.

Edit: I'm using classic ASP

Depends on how the web service is written. These days most APIs are written using REST (i.e. standard HTTP GET/POST URL format). So you simply make a call to a URL, and get a value back - you can do this using ASP's "ServerXMLHTTP" component. e.g.

Set xml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0")
xml.Open "POST", sURL, False
xml.Send parms
returnValue = xml.ResponseText

Then do something with "returnValue"
