I'm having problems reading cookies from my subdomains (and I'm not trying to read a cookie that I've set from another subdomain; I'm trying to read cookies that I've set in the same subdomain). I wrote a couple of short demo ASP pages to illustrate:
setcookies.asp
Code: ....
In my Session_OnStart in Global.asa, I am setting some cookies. One
of them, I set as follows:
dim UserID
UserID = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
Response.Cookies("User")("ID") = UCASE(UserID)
When I immediately log the cookie value retrieved from
Request.Cookies("User")("ID") into the Windows Event Log, I get the
correct value. However, when I try to retrieve the cookie on the home
page of my application using the same code,
Request.Cookies("User")("ID"), it either cannot find the cookie or
cannot read the value. I am retrieving the cookie before all HTML
headers are written. It is my first statement on the page after
Option Explicit. I have even compared the session IDs. The SessionID
created in the Session_OnStart is the same value as the SessionID on
the home page.
I have read that the Session_OnStart only has access to the
Application, Session and Request objects. It does not explicitly say
that it does not have access to the Response object. Also, I was even
able to use Response.Write's in Global.asa to print out the values
although it looked like it had also stopped the session after I did
so. Cookies are definitely enabled on my machine. I have even tried
setting the session cookie's expiration to be persistent for a few
days to see if it was perhaps expiring before I was able to read it
but this did not work either.
Is there something preventing cookies to be created in Global.asa in
the Session_OnStart sub? Is the Response object not available???
Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem or solution.
I want to read and write key'ed cookies from both javascript and ASP.
I can't find any javascript that reads and writes cookies with keys,
so that it is compatible with ASP like the following:
<%
Response.Cookies("user")("firstname")="John"
Response.Cookies("user")("lastname")="Smith"
Response.Cookies("user")("country")="Norway"
Response.Cookies("user")("age")="25"
%>
If anyone has the javascript code that can read and write such ASP
keys,
if it is possible to read cookies set with ASP, using PHP?

View Replies View RelatedI need to dynamically create subdomains, or folders, on my site. I am currently developing a portal where when the person registers he/she gets their own sub-domain on my site. Either that or I need to create a subfolder for them on the site. I am developing in ASP and need some advice/help urgently.
View Replies View RelatedI have 404.asp file that catches non existing pages such as www.site.com/es for spanish version of site. Now I would like to move ahead and have es.site.com instead. I started digging into subdomains in IIS and found out that usually when creating subdomain in IIS it creates a separate sub-directory by the same name as the subdomain created. From some reason the custom error 404.asp file I already have is not called when a call to a non existing sub domain page is made.
Anyone knows why?
How do I configure 404.asp to also handle subdomain page requests?
I know that in Unix/Apache I can use .htaccess file to direct calls to es.site.com to www.site.com/es quite easily, can this be done somehow on IIS?

View Replies View RelatedI have an ASP web site that I can read an XML file and process it fine. However, now I am asked to read XML data via (I think) a web service url. I looked at the ADO Stream and it looks like it may be a way to do this, but I'm not sure. I need to read 2 different streams, one with data and one with returned images.
I need to process the data like a recordset and load it (and other) information into a web page and return to the browser. Can anyone point me in a direction to read more about how to do this and/or some samples?

I am creating a user tracking app that tracks a user one of two ways...
1)First Method is cookies
2)Second Method MS SQL DB
I first check if the users browser accepts cookies if not I go to the db. If the user accepts cookies then I check for a specific crumb if it does not have the value I am looking for I kill it and rewrite it. This is working fine (im in the middle of testing it). The problem is I decieded to test the script with NN7 and not turn cookies off but block cookies from my site and all fell apart. The condition that I have set (detect if cookies are enabled) does not stop the script from trying to set a Session Variable because the browser accepts cookies and to keep a long story short it goes into an infinite loop because the script is looking for a Session value and Its not being stopped becaues the script thinks its alright to write cookies! Is there a way to detect if a user has your sites cookies blocked? This is important because Server.CreateObject("MSWC.BrowserType") will return .Cookies = True and you will not know that your script is not executing properly because a user has your sites cookies blocked but excepts them elsewhere...
After a login we have a menu from where we have access to different operations such as add ,delete,update.. but if a user enters the appropriate URL he has access to these operations with out proper authorization.how do we solve this.
should we use cookies,if so how exactly?
I've built a website which requires a user to log-in to access the site. I have already built a page that enters their details into a db (register.asp), and another page where the user enters their email address (the log-in ID) to actually log-in (login.asp).
How can I use a cookie to automatically log a user in??
More specifically, what are the commands to set a cookie (upon successful registration) and access it (upon re-logging in)?
Hey i've spent the last few hours trying to work this problem out about cookies.
When a user logs in to the site the login.asp page checks the database to see the personal page that the user re directs to e.g if bob brown logged in he would be redirected to bob.brown.asp. This is stored in a field in the database table along with the username and password.
i would like to put a cookie onto the users computer that remembers the url they were redirected to so when they press the main page button it would look for the cookie and see what url they are meant to be redirected to and take them there
My current login system is this ....
I'm trying to load up a page through my asp page and get the cookie from that page so that I can use it later on when it needs to have it to access other parts of the site.
Basically the asp page is going to act like a browser and store the cookie from the other site, then send that cookie back when the asp page goes back to the other site again.
The problem is, I can only seem to access my own cookie. I didn't run into this problem when I was doing a similar thing inside my .cs scripts that were run by the server, as I suppose they were not coming from the actual domain that my page is running on (and thus, wasn't getting everything trampled by local cookies).
Is this possible, or should I just give up on it now?
im building a site for a few doctors surgeries. the user is able to see what appointments are available and then book that date/time. i have a table (in my db) of dates/times and a checkbox to say whether the time has been booked or not (and display only times that havnt been booked). i was going to have the user add the time to a "cart" and then check the "booked" checkbox in my db when theyve paid for that appointment. but if i have lots of people looking at the site at the same time, then they may be able to see times that are just about to be booked. i think a better way is to have the date/time stuffed into a cookie which expires after 5 minutes. so when a user adds a time to their "cart", it will say something like: "this time will expire in 5 minutes until you book it or re-add it to your cart". does that make sense?
how can i do this with server-cide cookies (im using jscript)? can anyone think of a better way to do this?
trying to delete a cookie, without success it seems. The following code
to delete and check a cookie produces "yes" where I expected "no"
Anyone tell me how to delete a cookie if this code is wrong.
response.cookies("savedforum").expires = date - 1
if request.cookies("savedforum").haskeys then
response.write "yes"
else
response.write "no"
I have the code below which I know it is wrong where the cookies come in. I am trying to write the values collected from a database into cookies.

In my web application i'm are able to store large data in
the browser cookie keeping in mind the limit of 300
cookies per browser, 20 keys per cookie per domain and 4KB
max size of each cookie. i'm are unable to retreive this
large amount of data immediately after storing through
document.cookie in IE browser (The same works fine in
Netscape).
Is there any limit on the size of the data that can be
retreived using document.cookie? Could you please suggest
a solution to this problem i'm are facing.

I found that a number of my sites that send email using CDO failed withing the past 30 days. Consider the following. I know its not the best coding practice to open and close the connection so many times but Im curious why this would all of a sudden become an issue.
1. Have a few large sites essentially all variables such as SMTP server are set using cookies so I can deploy multiple sites quickly.
2. Within the site email appears to work correctly across all pages with 1 exception.
3. The exception is below, Im wondering if it has to do with cookies having to be retrieved multiple times from the client machine
--Call db run search loop data build array
--Based on data in array call another search alter and finalize array
--Do while <= uBound(myArray)
--Call Email sub (from,to,sub,body) ' Sub contains a request cookies for SMTP server.
--Loop
Doesnt matter if its 2 or 50 emails always fails when using request.cookies to set the SMTP in the sub. Works fine if I hard code the IP. This same sub is used multiple times throughout the website and works fine with cookies.
Just curious why it needs might need to be hard coded in the loop. Has been running for about 6 months fine and have recently started noticing failures.
All the cookies that i have don't show any bad cookies as i call them but only show the cookies that they want on the users computer but for some reason i am getting lots of bad cookies from my website at http://tmd-1.com/ and i don't know how to stop the bad cookies from downloading to the computer the cookies i am having trouble with will be in a red box in the image below.....
View Replies View RelatedI started using the following code, although, I have a feeling it is not working. Also, do I have to place the same code on all accessed pages? Code:
<%
Response.Cookies("ExpCookie") = "Expiration"
Response.Cookies("ExpCookie").Expires = DateAdd("d", 1, Now())
Response.Cookies("ExpCookie").Secure = True
Response.Cookies("LastVisit") = Date & " " & Time
%>
I am new at all of this, I can understand that this cookie will expire an hour after being access on a given day (is that right?), and it will create the cookie with the printed date and time of access. how can I make sure cookie expire on time.
Is there a way that I can read the current url.
I have an asp page currently such as default.asp?x=1&y=2&z=3
Now I want to keep the existing parameters and attach another parameter
to it and resend to default.asp
As the original parameters are dynamic, and may or may not be
generated, the only way is to read the current url and to simply add my
new parameter such as h=5 to the url.
I don't know how to read the current url.
I tried Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") but that didn't include
the parameters. i.e. it just returned the default.asp
