Cookies And Response.redirect. Do They Work Together?
I am having trouble with ASP cookies.
Scenario 1
An ASP page creates a cookie then calls another page. This second ASP page then reads the cookie. This works fine.
Scenario 2
An ASP page calls a second ASP page. First page has a standard HTML form on it which the second page then validates the user input. If the user has made a mistake then page two writes a cookie (user details and error message) and a response.redirect sends us back to the first page. The first page recognises that it was the second page that called it (via a parameter sent as part of the URL) and reads the cookie that it knows page two created. This does NOT work. The cookie is either now not there or the contents are null.
Questions:
How can I tell if the cookie was created or not using IE6? Cookies are enabled and no cookie appears in the Temp Internat Files folder in either scenario.
Also it is possible to see what is in a cookie, apart from using ASP?
Is it not possible to use a cookie in conjunction with a response.redirect (seems unlikely)?
It seems to work, the cookie is created in the directory "c:Documents and SettingsmyLoginCookies" correctly e in my application it works.
close the browser, I open again my application and everything is like at the ginning.the cookie is still there, but the couples key/value have been deleted, as the cookie was overwritten.How can I avoid this problem?
As I understand it IE stores the session id in a cookie on the user machine. This identifies the session between pages. If cookies are disabled then session variables don't work...
Is it possible to pass the session id between pages by posting them etc, and manually force the session id on each page.
but I keep getting a "permission denied" error. If I just put the same address string in IE6's Address box and go to it, IE opens myusername's FTP home page just fine, so I know the FTP site is working as expected. Also, if I put in an anonymous ftp site, without the username and password (e.g. "ftp://ftp.microsoft.com"), the redirect works fine, too.
I don't want the user to be prompted by IE for the username and password at the FTP site, so I am providing them from within the web site.
What can be preventing the response.redirect from handling non-anonymous FTP access? Is there a better way to do this?
I have created 2 asp pages called testa.asp and testb.asp
testa.asp has a link to go to next page testb.asp
testb.asp has a form that ask you for a reference number and post it to the same page testb.asp
If the reference number is not blank, it will just write out what the reference number is.
Now my problem....
If you go to testa.asp and click on the link to go to testb.asp you will see the form. At this point, if you click the back button, it till take you back to testa.asp ALL FINE SO FAR.
If you go to testb.asp again and see the form, enter a number say 33 and click on search. This will now show you the number you have just entered. NOW - click on the BACK BUTTON, it will just show you exactly the same page ! WHY does it not go back to the FORM in order to refill in a different number. Code:
I've come across some weird bug with Response.Cookies. Or maybe it will be called "by design" but for the life of me I can't figure out what purpose it would serve. If you're setting a cookie (say Response.Cookies ("TEST")) and you have a query string variable &test=x or &Test=x and you get Request.QueryString to parse the query string, the cookie that gets dropped matches the case of the query string, not what your code says. In other words even though the code says Response.Cookies ("TEST"), it drops Response.Cookies ("test") instead.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here? There's an example below. Try it with http://127.0.0.1/cookieTest.asp?test=x and without the query string variable.
While using Response.Cookies and Request.Cookies, I noticed that as soon as I close my browser, re-open it, and goto the page that issued the Cookie, that the cookie doesn't seem to exist. Are session cookies different than cookies that Javascript makes (where they are written to a file on the user's HDD) I need something that will be able to hold info over different visits by the same user.
I am looking for a way to delete (expire) all the cookies that we've ever written to the user's machine. I have found several scripts, however I have come across one "gotcha."
The scripts I have found all look something like this:
response.buffer = "true" dim x for each x in Request.Cookies Response.Cookies(x) = "must be something" Response.Cookies(x).Expires = "January 1, 1999" next
One cookie gets set like this:
Response.Cookies(x).Domain = ".henryschein.com"
so that we can retrieve it from 'www.henryschein.com' and 'info.henryschein.com'
The problem is that the script above does not delete it.
Anyone have any idea why this is?? Anyone have a script that properly deletes ALL the cookies that you've ever written to the user's machine?
IF Trim(Request.QueryString("v")) = "" THEN Back = Replace(Request.ServerVariables("Http_REFERER"),"http://localhost/","") ELSE Back = Request.QueryString("v") END IF
Code: if left(request.Form("phone_nu"),3) = "234" and len(request.Form("phone_nu")) < 11 then response.Redirect("sms.asp?error="&(request.Form("phone_nu"))) end if
is there a way to response.redirect what's already in the address bar then add on what you want for each link? I have a page that will sort but I dont want to type out all the links. cant I do something like
response.write((whats in the address bar)&sort=asc)
I know I could do this Response.write(request.servervariables("URL")) but that doesnt give me the stuff in the address bar
I have a page, progress.asp?id=<%=rs("id")%>, all the insert function will be done to nextpage.asp. Then, on nextpage.asp, I will like to redirect back to progress.asp?id=<%=rs("id")%>, but I have problem with the id.
I am using response.redirec to do the url redirection on my login page. The login page is under http://myURL/test/dir1/login.aspx, when the user login successfully, the login page redirects the user to the default.apsx page, which is under http://myURL/test/dir1/default.aspx. When I enter the IP address of myURL in the address bar, the redirection works perfectly fine, but if I enter myURL (which is hostname) in the address bar, the redirection in login page doesn't work anymore, the login page just gets refreshed.
I have an application form which on confirmation of details, takes you back to the page from where the person chose which course they want to apply for. The process has been working fine when I had just basic html (just the form tags) but when I put it into my html template I'm getting an error message when it comes to the response.redirect "index.asp". The error is Header Error The HTTP headers are already written to the client browser. Any HTTP header modifications must be made before writing page content.
actually comes back after the redirect with the % urlencoded which obviously considering its been given the encoding anyway is a nightmare.. ie "http://www.blurb.com/default.asp?test=sweet+%2526+sour"
and subsequent redirections would just keep replacing the starting % with %25...
IF rsQuery("survey_taken") = "Y" Then %> <script language = "Javascript"> alert ("You have taken the survey."); </script> <% Response.Redirect "page.asp" Else End IF
Is the codes wrong? becos after the msg box pop up, it doesnt redirect me to the page.asp
but still give me file not found 404 and i print the content in database to ensure it contain the exactly file and when write the file name as string it is worked response.redirect("HoCom.htm")
As I'm using frames I would like the Response.Redirect to contain a similar code entry as target_top for an HTML link. Please does anyone know if there is an asp equivalent?
I have a .mdb file with name, email (which is really a URL), password, code, date, and ID. My goal is to put a form on the login.asp page. If the user logs in with their username and password, they'll be redirected toward their page.
I'll paste my code below for my login.asp page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I'm a "dummy programmer" ... I can understand it if it's simple. Basically, I want "Joe" to be able to put in his password, and go to "Joe.asp". Then "Jim" to put in his password, and go to "Jim.asp". My login.asp page: Code:
after moving your user to a designated screen what server variable is it to look up the previous page you came from? isn't it something close to refer variable. i can't find an example anywhere.
I'm working on an application in ASP and some pages which are already done by someone else work as follows:
There's a form with as many submit (!) buttons as there are links to pages. When a user presses a button, the form is submitted to itself... there If statements are used for each submit button and if the name of the one pressed is in the If statement a Response.Redirect is done to load some other page.
My question is... why not simply attach the link for the webpage directly to the button? Right now it feels like it's clumsy... submitting it, processing the if statements till there's a match, only to call another page.
Are there any advantages to the approach? The URL of the webpage which is called will still appear in the address-bar won't it?
I have written following code and it is taking 40 to 50 seconds to redirect to the next page
<% If Request.Form("submit") <> "" Then Response.Redirect("SatishTest.Asp") End If %> <html> <body> <form action="" method="post"> Satish <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"> </form> </body> </html>
Even in SatishTest.Asp page is also having simple html text which displays Success. when i click on submit button page is taking 40 to 50 seconds to opeing the SatishTest.asp
These 2 files i have create to explain the problem .... actual website is different but having only html code.
