I have many office files saved in sql server. The system sends them by one
web page: RequestFile.asp. So every file has the same name requestFile.asp.
How can i change requested URL on the server from
www.domain.com/requestFile.asp to www.domain.com/someFileName.doc????
I am able to rise "Save or open downloaded file" dialog

How can I insert a binary file into a SQL Server db using asp? It must be possible cause SQL Server has a datatype called "varbinary".
View Replies View RelatedStreaming Binary Files
I am working on an app that needs to stream binary files(such as PDF or WORD docs) to the browser. I cannot just pass a URL pointing to the file directly. I've tried the following in an ASP file:
Code:
Response.ContentType = "application/doc"
Response.BinaryWrite strData
where strData contains the binary data content of the WORD file in a string variable (for PDF, I would set the content type to "application/pdf").
However, the browser displays the data itself, rather than hosting the doc in the appropriate browser applet.
ServerXMLHTTP Failing With Large Binary Files
I am trying to use ServerXMLHTTP in an ASP page to return a binary file download to the browser. It works just fine with small files ( under 1 MB) but seems to fail with large files (4 MB, 11 MB in tests). A success would be that the browser kicks off the "Save As" file dialog. The failures are not always the same. Sometimes the browser tries to download the ASP file itself. Sometimes the the file seems to download successfully, but for example only 1.6 MB of a 4 MB file are actually downloaded and it doesn't seem to be a simple truncation. Sometimes I get "internal server error 500". Below is my ASP code. "Project1.exe" is small enough to be successful. If you substitute "OmniViewProSetup.exe" (4 MBs) it will fail.....
View Replies View RelatedLoad Binary Files Directly Onto Page
I currently have my database set up so that when a user uploads a file, it writes it in binary in the database. I know the benefits of having a separate file server and storing the path, but unfortunately, I can not do it that way.
I know how to include the file in, lets say, a hyperlink so that any user can click on the file to view it. But, I would like to know how to include the file (mainly pictures) directly into the page as an <img src> Any suggestions?
P.S.
Once the information is in the database, these are the commands I use to output the file to a hyperlink. The file that this code is in is "file.asp?Id=" Where the Id is taken from the URL and used to obtain the correct file. I left out all the connection/cmd strings intentionally just show I could show the relevant information:
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "filename=" & _
rs("FileName")
Response.ContentType = rs("ContentType")
Response.BinaryWrite RS("FileData")
How To Download Files With ASP?
I want to make a support-page where people can download the latest help-files (these will be in a database) but I don't know how to do this (I only know the basics of ASP).
I don't mean that, for example a pdf, should open in another window. When you click on the filename it should give the standard downoad-box 'Open', 'Save', 'Cancel'.
Does anyone know how to do this? Or maybe there is some code on the net that explains it.
Download PDF Files

View Replies View RelatedOutput Jpg Stored In Database As Long Binary To Asp: How?
For a while I am working with ThumbsPlus ( http://www.cerious.com/ ) as manager for pics.
The benefit of the program is that it stores all kind of information in a central Microsoft Database that easily can be manipulated. A thumbnail of the picture is also stored in de MDB as long binary (jpeg format)
I made a small script that extracts all kind of information of the MDB by use of queries and ASP. This works perfect for string/numerical information.
I am wondering if I can also write the stored (jpg)thumbnail to the asp file so that I have a preview of my picture.
Can this be done? What is the syntax?
I tried already :
Response.BinaryWrite BinData
Where BinData is the contents of the Thumbnail field. When I take a look at the MDB table in design view, the DataType of this field is "OLE object", if I open the table, the contents of the field displays "long binary data".

View Replies View RelatedProtected Download Of Files...
I am creating a series of downloadable articles, career
tools, spreadsheets, etc. However, some of the content is
for "registered" guest. The registrants are stored in a
database and logon.
I want to ensure that someone registered cannot simply
pass someone the path to the files for download. However,
I am not creating an actual system user name for the
folders where the various documents exist.
I don't want someone to logon, retrieve the path to a
file, and be able to send that path or return to that path
without having to logon.
How do I accomplish this?
Consider the following:
serverroot/registeredcontentfolders would be protected by
a single logon name - not accessible via anonymous
access. User's logon to site and I auth them with their
user name but on the server side, auth with the single
account I am establishing for access to the protected
folders.
Download (request) Files
I have excel, word, zip, jpeg etc. files in my database.
I can view them by asp from web page but I have problems:
When I Request a file from database:
1. I click on the file it brings me the message if I want to open or download the file.
Content-type works but file name cannot be recognized.
It gives always the same name for the file.
Example: I click cv.doc file, in popup message "download or open" File Name part is always file.asp
It should show cv.doc at file name section. What is the code for it ? Below what I use but missing I guess.
This is how I request the file..
<%
rs.Open "Select * From Files Where Id=" Request.QueryString("Id" ) , connStr, 1, 3
Request.ContentType = rs("FileType" )
Request.BinaryWrite rs("FileBinary" )
%>

Unable To Download Zip Files From IE
I am unable to download zip files from IE browser. Everytime I click on the download button, instead of prompting me to save the file, Internet Explorer opens the zip folder instead.
I think this is because I have previously instructed IE to open zip files without prompting (there was a check box to do this). Is there any way I can revert to the original settings?
I have tried resetting my Web settings, as well as setting the Security level in the Internet Options, but to no avail. I am totally unable to download zip files using IE now.
How to set the default value so that IE prompts me to download the files than opening it in some location.
Force Download Of .pdf Files
The below code forces a prompt to the user to open or save the .pdf file file to their local machine. It seems to work great except I have one user who can not open any .pdfs using this prompting method. He gets an error that says "File could not be found". However, if we choose the 'save' option instead, we can save the file to his local machine. He can open .pdf files from normal links to .pdf files. It's just this prompting method that is causing a problem. So, I'm perplexed.
I did some digging and found that there is also an FSO (File System Object) method (which may or may not solve my problem), but I'm not sure how to impliment the FSO or if that will even help me with this.
Download For PDF Files Not Working
The following ASP routine allows me to force a PDF file to download rather
than show up in IE:
Response.ContentType = "application/asp-unknown" ' arbitrary
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition","attachment; filename=" & theFile
Set adoStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
adoStream.Open()
adoStream.Type = 1
adoStream.LoadFromFile(thePath)
Response.BinaryWrite adoStream.Read()
adoStream.Close
Set adoStream = Nothing
Response.End
This works fine for 250KB - 500KB PDF files, but I've just uploaded a 6MB file and it simply doesn't seem to do anything. The code does nothing which in turn means that the standard Save dialogue box can't find the file.

Unable To Download Files From Server
I'm having trouble with my first IIS6.0 on Windows Server 2003.
The web site works fine: all ASP pages are processed and displayed normally. The problem is we are not able to download any files from the site (pdf, zip, doc, ...) When you click on a link pointing to one of these files (or if you write the file's absolute URL in the address bar of IE) you get the normal Open or Save as dialog. Whichever option you choose, the next window is an error message stating that the file cannot be downloaded. The strange part is that everything else is working fine, it is file download what fails, exclusively.
Is this something that needs to be enabled in IIS6.0? Do you know anything about this issue?

Download Of Files To Windows Mobile 2003
We have a WEB-based application (developed in Visual Studio 2005) running on
handheld devices in Internet Explorer on Windows Mobile 2003. The application
needs to print tickets on a Bluetooth printer, which is accomplished by
preparing a RTF-file on the server and then downloading this file to the
handheld device. We use a third-party application (PrintPocketCE from
FieldSoftware) for the actual printing of the downloaded file. However, when
the file is about to be downloaded we first get a question saying "Download
<filename> to the My Documents folder in Main Memory?" with Yes, Change and
Cancel buttons.
Is there a way to avoid this question and download the file
directly? We need the checkbox "Open file after download" to be checked (as
it is by default when the question is displayed) to get the file processed by
PrintPocketCE after download.
To avoid adding file by file to the handheld device we always use the same
filename for the downloaded file. This leads to another question on each
download, asking whether to overwrite the previously downloaded file. Since
the file has no interest after being printed this question is always answered
with Yes. Is there a way to avoid this question too, for example by setting
some Registry value?
ADO Streams And Binary Data Held In A MySQL Database Blob Field
Has anyone else found a memory leak using ADO streams to access binary data held in a database. I have searched through this forum and have not come across anyone else, so maybe it is just me.
The scenario is as follows:
Windows 2000 SP3
MDAC 2.7 SP1
IIS5
MySQL 3.23
MyODBC 2.50
If I query the database and do a response.binarywrite everything works fine and no memory leak. eg. response.binarywrite myrecordset("blobfield")
If I read the very same BLOB field into a ADOstream I then get a memory leak in DLLHOST.EXE of how big that binary field was. ie If the picture is 140k in size DLLHOST.EXE increases its memory size by 140k.
This keeps on happening until DLLHOST.EXE is something like 250 MBytes in size at which point it stops working. Quick restart of the IIS Web service and I get all my memory back.
The command I am using to get the data into the ADOstream is picturestream.write myrecordset("blobfield")
I have also tried putting the binary data into a variable first before inserting it into the stream:
set x=myrecordset("blobfield")
picturestream.write x
The stream is closed and set to nothing at the end of processing. Everything is cleanly shut down. Through testing I know the memory leak occurs once the data has been written into the stream. The stream is correctly created as type binary.
The stream problem I am encountering does not seem to be limited to ASP, I tried it using Visual Basic to create a COM component to do the same job and still got a memory leak.
So the questions are:
1. Has anyone come across this before or fixed it?
2. Is there another way of getting binary data out of MySQL, something like the opposite of LoadFile?
I have wasted so much time on this problem but cannot find, having searched Microsoft's knowledge base and the rest of the web, any reference to the problem.
Displaying Image From Database Saves Files To Temporary Internet Files
I have a website that we display images we have saved into a SQL Server 2000 database as binary BLOB. This is on a Windows 2003 Server. Just recently (a week ago) this website began to save the images it is displaying on the website as ASP pages in the Temporary Internet Files > IE.Content > Folder.
We have other websites where we use the exact same code and these do not save files on the server when they are displayed.
Here is the code to display the image:
Set rs = objConn.Execute( SQL )
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.BinaryWrite rs("Product_Image")
SQL is the SQL String to get the image from database
When I add this code:
Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg"
The images still display on the website, but now are saved in the Temporary Internet Files folder as JPG's.
Download From Database
What I want to do is this via asp
a. Store file in database (I can do this)
b. Filter for a record (I can do this)
When page loads, I'd like to c. Have that record display on web page and have user be able to download the file (BLOb) in this record via a link.

when we type the path of the access database on the address bar it will be downloaded, how can we block that .
View Replies View RelatedUnable To Download Microsoft Access Database From Server To My Machine
I recently built an application using an Access database. The application works fine, but for some reason I am unable to FTP the database file back to my machine from the server... the operation simply times out halfway into the transfer.
Has anyone ever encountered this issue? I don't know if maybe some renegade connection wasn't closed, but I kinda doubt that's the case.
Is there even a way I can check what connections to the DB are open?
