I need to extract some blobs (chm files, actually) from a database and save their contents on the server (recreate chm files).
I tried to do it in several ways (writing the contents to a stream and save the stream to file, writing the contents directly to file, I couldn't figure out how to do it by using the class ADODB.File) but none of them worked.
I am working with IIS 5.0 and would like use the property CentralBinaryLoggingEnabled which if set true will create one single binary log file in place of a separate log file for multiple websites.
This property is available in IIS 6.0. I would like to know if there is a patch available for IIS 5.0 which will create this property in IIS 5.0.
What I would like to do is load a file's contents from a file on the server
and put the contents.
into a record in a database. For this I need to load the contents in binary
format into a
variable. Anywhere I looked, I've only found text I/O in ASP.
(FileSystemObject and TextStream).
How can I load any kinds of file into a byte array? Or is it enough to load
it as a text stream
and then treat the loaded string as a byte array?
I have an exe file on a server that reads an XML file ( as a parameter) and generates a new file for downloading. However, most servers won't allow an exe file to create the new binary file. Is there any way that I can execute the exe file and have it download straight to the client instead of saving to the server?
View Replies View RelatedWhen I run an asp script, I can view the contents on the screen in pdf format. But instead of displaying the information to the screen, I want to be able to save the same information into a binary file with a pdf extension.
Does anybody know how to do that?

I'm using ASP to generate an RTF (rich text) file, via the FSO. No problems with text, but when it comes to inserting images, the files have to be embedded as either binary or hex.
Try as I might, I can't get binary to work (Word b0rks trying to open the resulting file). When I create a simple RTF in Wordpad and then view its source, Wordpad seems to be embedding the image as hex. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I could read an image file off the disk in hex format for writing into my RTF?
I use the following code in an asp.net page to download file from my site to the user:
Response.Buffer = True
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=""" & dsDocFile.Tables("tbl_DocFile").Rows.Find(FileID).Item("FileName") & """")
Response.Flush()
Response.WriteFile(sFileName)
This works with most every file type I've run across (jpg, gif, doc, ppt, xls, etc..). Normally when the user tries to access a file, a download window pops up asking the user whether he/she wants to open or save the file.
However, when the file is a zip file, the user just receives a blank screen instead of the usual download window. Has any one run into this problem? If yes, how did you resolve it?
i have an ASP (iis v5.0) application that generates a pdf file and this file
is saved to the server. it is saved in a location not available to web
users. i have an asp script (below) that sends the pdf file to the user as a
binary stream. So that the user specifies which file to upload, the script
performs some security checking and if it passes, it sends the pdf document.
This works great in HTTP, but i want to do this using SSL. When i try the
same thing over SSL, it gives me a 'File Download' dialog box with Open,
Save, Cancel, More Info. The file name is the name of my script and file
type is 'Adobe Acrobat Control for ActiveX'.
When i click Save or Open i get an error message: Internet Explorer cannot
download [scriptname] IE was not able to open this Internet site. The
requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again
later.
The key to all this is that the report can change and i need to make sure
the data doesn't get cached along the way. Hence there are a bunch of header
manipulation commands included in the send function. Code:
I have one EXE file that customer need to download from my website. But I
have one text file of Max 250 bytes of text in in that I want to append to

do that. Please suggest. I think we need to go for some BinaryWrite kind of
procedure using ADO Stream.
I'm trying to setup an ASP page to POST an image across to another page- essentially simulating what a browser does when you use <input type=file> in a HTML form.
I'm able to correctly setup the headers etc and do the POST, but I'm unable to include the binary data of the image.
The only way i've been able to do it is if I base64 encode the image. I'm using MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP to do the POST, and I can't seem to do the .send with a form body that includes the binary data of the image. Code:
I know how to use ASP to create and write into a .CSV file on the server, but I have a small problem. Every time I write to the file I am adding new lines each time. I don't know how to wipe the previous contents out, and I thought this is probably a no-brainer for you guys ...
So, I'm looking either to delete the file at the start of the process and start from scratch or
* open the file
* wipe all contents from file
* write to the newly cleaned file

I am having trouble trying to output an image using Binary.Write. I have a page which displays a record. One of the fields is an image and I want to display this on the page.
My question is this: Is it possible to use the Binary write command i.e. Binary.Write("MyDatabaseField") on the same page that I want the image displayed on?
If not Is there a way to nest it inside an image tag as follows:
Response.Write("<img src=" & binaryWrite("mydatabasefield" & ">")

I'm guessing that it is to do with Binary and I need to apply a bit masks, but that's where my expertise ends.
