Gibberish Pdf File Displayed If I Transfer Using Bit Stream
The following code was suggested by one of the users in this newsgroup when a pdf file was requested by a user from an asp page. I used the similar code in my page and the very interesting thing is when the pdf is displayed on the fly, the whole page is a gibberish code in stead of a normal pdf file. But it displays fine if I just use a link to a file on the page. Can you tell me what's the possible reason will cause this problem?
i want to be able to write an asp.net function to download files.
For example, brinkster.com hosting service has a COM component that allows a stream of binary data to the client from the server so that the client will be prompted to download the file.
here is the syntax:
Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload")
Dim SysFilePath SysFilePath = Request.QueryString("filePath")
' Parmeters: ' 1. Path to file to download ' 2. Yes, build content-xxx headers ' 3. Use this value for Content-Type header ' 4. Include the word "attachment;" to Content-Disposition to force download
I use the code below to authorise the download of certain files. Thus, instead of linking to the file in a wwwroot directory, I link to this code with the filename as a parameter, and the script streams the file if the user is authorised.
This has worked fine on PDFs, DOCs, XLS, etc. until today, and 18MB file presents the error message 'format error: not a pdf or corrupt'.
Is there a file size limit, or a default that needs overridden? Any thoughts? Code:
I'm doing file uploads using the free component ASPSimpleUpload but I have problems of file transfer when the file size is too big or the connection used by the sender is slow.
I'd like to transfer file via FTP from a web page instead of using ASPSimpleUpload. Has somebody already done that and has some code or some links to give me?
I would like for an ASP page to transfer a text file (from the same directory the ASP file is in) to another Web server.I don't mind if the code is in ASP or VB.I suspect that there is a way of having an ASP page conduct an FTP session to transfer the file. would like to do this without a component as I'm looking for source code.
My team would like to use an ASP script to have an automatic transfer of files to our live server happen each evening at a predetermined time. I was looking on the web for a script but all I could find is user driven upload scripts.
Is there anything out there that will facilitate automatic uploads of several folders and files via ASP scripts?
I'm looking for an ASP (dotnet is alirght too) File Transfer system for use by internal employees and customers. I need to be able to control access to the system on a user and group basis and allow people to upload and download files.
I searched and searched at Google and couldn't find a thing that helped me here...
Many results found for "ASP Upload Script" but what I want is a "ASP Download Script".
In my website, I have a script that authenticates the user (login) and then checks a few informations. But what interests for this topic is what's called next: a file download page.
Of course I could simply ask the user to Save File As in a location I would inform him, but I would like to have a script that would do that for him. It gets the file from the server and transfers it to a default folder in the user's computer.
I am moving from a Windows 2000 Web Server to a Windows 2003 Server.I have converted all of my old CDONTS to CDOSYS with no problems. However,I am having major problems with getting my asp pages that have both MySQL and CDOSYS on them to work.I get the following error:HTTP 500 Internal Server error There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed
I have a page which streams an Excel spreadsheet to the user. It has worked fine for 12mths or more, but recently I found out that it wasn't working. I suspect the problem lies with IIS, but I'm not sure... When the user submits a form, the page should stream the file to the user - the user is presented with a standard Open/Save/Cancel dialog, which the would ordinarily save to their HDD. I have updoaded the code from the live server to my development machine (IIS5.1) - and this same code works fine. However, on the live server (IIS6), the user is presented with the dialog box, but rather than listing myfile.xls, it lists mypage.asp as the file to be downloaded.I think this must be an IIS6 issue but I don't know what. Some time before the problem was noticed, work had been done on the live server, but AFAIK nothing was done that was *intended* to affect this application.
Does anyone know how to create an attachment using a stream in classic ASP.I can see that it can be done in ASP.Net as per the article below: Initializes a new instance of the Attachment class with the specified stream and name. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6sdktyws.aspx.
file.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading, _ TristateUseDefault) and then i read some lines.
Line = TextStream.readline
Then when i finished reading it i need to go to the begiining and read some lines again.But i dont see how to go back to the begining. I mean, Is there a way to go back to the first line of the file if i allready read some lines
Because I needed to store more than 4,000 characters, I decided to convert one field in SQL Server Database from nvarchar to ntext...now the field holds many more characters without a problem as I examined in my online manager.
But when I tried to display it on my asp page with Code:
<%=rs("Text")%>
, nothing showed up, and there is no error message. It cannot be null because i checked in the manager...
I'm using classic ASP. I made a change to a page and I got a Page Cannot Be Displayed error. I changed the code back and now I get the same thing. Other pages can run and access the db server.
I tried taking out includes and bypassing some code. I've also checked both the Application and Event logs on the server and there doesn't seem to be anything obvious there. I'm not using any components. Can anybody give me an idea as to the types of things that cause this problem?
We have an application, written in ASP, that uses the ADODB.Stream to be able to open files and write byte arrays to the Response object. If one of our administrators patches the web servers this application runs on in Windows Update, I'm screwed, right? You've essentially just disabled this COM object, for not only its evil purposes, but its useful ones?
Ok, I'm stumped on something that really shouldn't be this hard. I've created some cool code to transform a dataset via XSLT into SpreadsheetML (XML for Excel) and I'm storing the physical file on a file server. Now... I currently provide a hyperlink to view/save the file, but this won't work outside the network.
So, I've been working on making this hyperlink/linkbutton/button/whatever stream the file back to the user. How in the name of Zeus's butthole do I do this?
So, in simpler terms; how do I take a physical file and stream the sucker back? Ideally, I'd like this to work just like it does now with the physical link to the file. Click the link, it prompts you to save/open/cancel. Clicking Open pops up Excel and looky-looky, you see the file.
I've got an asp page that allows users to input quantities of certain items. When they click the "Total" button, the page is submitted to itself and a total for their selected items is displayed, similar to any online shopping cart.
When all items have been selected, the form is submitted, and their taken to the next page. If they choose the browser's "Back" button, or a "Cancel" button on the asp page, they get the Page Cannot Be Displayed Error. However, if they never update the total, and instead enter all the quantities and then submit the form, withing submitting back to itself, the browser's "Back" button and the asp "Cancel" button work fine.
It appears the back button doesn't work when the previous page has been submitted to itself. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is it a bug in my code or possibly an IIS issue?
I have a form from html called "rcf" and it suppose to get the data from users and send it to the database.but from my form to my add_rcf.asp page I get a "The " message.I uploaded the files.
I get this page cannot be displayed every time i try to run ASP pages on Win 2k Server IIS5.1 . I know that the guy who's server it is had run a couple of lock down tools after his server's security was compromised.
Could this be part of the reason why? I had a look at his configuration and .asp files were pointing to 404.dll? I changed it to the asp.dll in inetsrv directory but that didn't help as well as restarting IIS.
i am tryint to access this ASP website, but it keeps giving me the msg PAGE CANNOT DISPLAY. when i send the url to my friend, it load for them just fine. can someone tell me if ther are any option i have to chang or any way of solving this problem?
The problem is that in XP SP2, the IE instance opened for the vbscript only page no longer closes when Excel is closed. The user has to manually close this window. This didn't happen in XP SP1. Obviously there is a security change, but I have been unable to determine how to reverse it.
Does anyone know how I can get the IE instance to close when Excel closes in XP2 SP2?
Anyone with any internet account can access to the first site, but to enter to the 2nd, u need to have a special internet account (say, a certain supplier).
The general menu is on the Internet website, but one of the items in the sub-menu, links to a page On the INTRANET. If u r not authorized (=did not use the certain internet account), then u get the page "The page can not be displayed".
How do I redirect the "page can not be displayed" to the help page, and of course, redirect it ONLY when the "page can not be displayed" page is there b/c of linking from this sub-menu, or b/c of trying to reach directly to the Intranet certain URL that this sub menu links to.
I am using ADODB.Stream for downloading the files on user machine. The code works fine when filesize is less than 10 MB. But if file size is more than 10 MB then it doesn;t get download. Can anyone tell what is the problem. I have to user some different component.
I have a page that displays images. However, at times if I have changed the actual image but have kept the same name and src, the old image still displays when I run the page. I have cleared the files and cookies and sometines this helps but not always.
I'm looking to have an image (say, icons for a particular document) and when it is clicked on, I would like the "Open/Save/Cancel" dialogue to open up.
I was told using an ADO data stream was the way to go, making the app an unknown so the dialogue opens:
Function GetBinaryFile(ByVal FileSpec) Const adTypeBinary = 1 Dim objStream Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream") objStream.Open() objStream.Type = adTypeBinary objStream.LoadFromFile (FileSpec) GetBinaryFile = objStream.Read() Set objStream = Nothing End Function
Is there a better way to do this? Also, I grab the file name from a SQL query which is then populated to a datagrid - the image name/etc is populated dynamically - how is this done in ASP? Is that with an anchor tag?
