Inconsistent Cookie Issue - IIS4
I'm having an inconsistent problem involving cookies. I have attempted to
duplicate the OS/browser settings for the remote users in question but I
cannot seem to duplicate the problem in any OS (Mac, Linux, Windows). I've
gone over and visited one problem site and I couldn't get it to work by
playing with security and privacy settings in MSIE. Obviously there is a
setting somewhere but I can't find it.
I can duplicate the problem by commenting out the ASP code that sets a
particular cookie. I also didn't see the cookie get set on the problem
system when I was trouble-shooting. I can't have the problem system with me
when I code though. :(
I won't post the entire project, but here are the parts that seem to be
central to the problem...
<%
Response.Expires=-1
Response.AddHeader "Pragma", "no-cache"
response.cookies("epeid") = value '40 characters
response.cookies("epeid").Expires = dateadd("n", 7, date() & " " &
Time())
response.redirect redirectURL
%>
It works fine on my systems. It redirects on the problem systems, only they
act like the cookie doesn't exist. When I asked the computer to prompt me
for each cookie I never saw epeid. On my system when I ask for a prompt it
just stalls on that particular cookie.
The above code is executed before any headers are written.

I have a simple code for user registration. It ocnnects to access db and checks whether the username already exisits before inserting. The problem is I am getting 'username already exisits error' even for genuine unique entries. And this is not consistent. At times there is no error. All the unique genuine entries are entered into the database irrespective of the error status (whether the error is thrown or not).
when tested locally (local host) absolutely there is no problem. this happens only in the server. Can the experts here point out what the problem could be - could it be related to caching or something?

I have a small window 'pop-up' from the main page, and then after details entered into small window, click submit, and do some database stuff. refresh teh parent paeg and then close the smal window.
my pc works fine with this, another pc works fine, but one remote computer, in an office LAN does not proces the script properly.
is there a setting I can tweak on my side or could it be because his comp is in an offie LAN maybe behind firewall?

At least once per day I am receiving this error on this
specific page.
"Error: File /customer/record.asp Unexpected error. A
trappable error (C0000005) occurred in an external object.
The script cannot continue running.."
This page gets hit thousands of times per day yet it
usually only logs one incident of this error per day.
I have checked every resource and made all the recommended
fixes but it still occurs.
This page uses some ADODB connections, Jmail, and sets a
few cookies. I cannot reproduce the error. I have no clue
as to what it could be. All code is sound and works
correctly.

I migrated a VID6 application from Windows NT 4 to Windows 2003 Server (IIS4
to IIS6) which was developed using ASP and VBScript and I now I am getting an
error message as follows:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro error '80004005'
There is not enough memory to complete this operation.
/hinojosa-web/iPD2.asp, line 377
The line mentioned above refers to the execution of a query to generate a
recordset which will be displayed to the user who is requesting data. This
issue does not always happens, it does only after accesing the web site
several times.

I need to make an ASP page which needs to insert and display multilingual contents like Korean, Chinese, Japanese from a MSSQL DB.
After googling, I know that by the using server-side directive
"Session.Codepage=65001" and charset UTF-8 in HTML,I can do it in IIS 5.0.
But IIS 4.0 seems doesnt support this Codepage.
Is there any solution for IIS 4.0?

Let me first apologize for anything that makes me sound stupid. I'm really not a ASP programmer, but i am the one fixing our glitch.
First, let me explain whats going on. We have a company intranet signout board. And under our IIS4 server, it works just fine, but under IIS 5 its works except for one glitch. The board lets the user choose their name from a databse, and enter a date and time of leaving a arriving.
On the old server, if the user just entered a time, it automatically added the current date followed by the time. Now, if the user just enters a time, that all that is displayed, and for some reason the board will only allow one name to be displayed like that.
So if person A signs out with just a time, he is listed, until person B signsout and overwrites person A
I think i have narrowed the problem down to this
If FormatDateTime(Request("txtReturn" & intIndividualPerson),2) <> "12/30/99" Then
rsUDPerson("OutReturning") = Request("txtReturn" & intIndividualPerson)
Else
rsUDPerson("OutReturning") = Date & " " & Request("txtReturn" & intIndividualPerson)
End If
The idea is, if there is a date, it wil be different then 12/30/99 so nothing is changed, but if no date if there it adds the current one. It almost acts like there is no Else statement.

Having trouble getting Session to persist. Have checked properties of the Virtual Directory in IIS4 manager and "Enable Session State" is checked, with time out set to 20 Mins. Have also checked the Project Properties in Interdev 6.0 and confirmed that
"Sensionless ASP Pages" is NOT checked.
When moving from one page to another within the application it starts a new session for each page : I've confirmed this both by Writing the SessionID and by adding a Variable into the On_Start of the Global.asa. Only trying to store a single digit in a Session variable.

When I set a cookie in global.asa in the sub session_onstart, even if
I have "privacy" in IE 6.X set to "block all cookies" the cookie is
still set, and I can get it on other pages.
I can't find an article that addresses this as a specific issue. Why
does the browser get the cookie when it is set in the session_onstart
event even when I have "block all cookies" set?

I want to know what's the differences between session cookie and regular cookie.
In ASP, when we create cookie, we do the following to identify an user:
Response.Cookies("name") = value
Is this regular cookie? How about session cookie? and when to use which?

The problem is that the code for "change_school.asp" takes the user right to "portal.asp". I checked the code of "change_school.asp" and it does indeed set a cookie value for "school", but for some reason "default.asp" is still finding the old cookie stored and then redirecting...any ideas guys?
'code for change_school.asp...clears the cookie "school" and redirects to page (default.asp) where user can select a new school
<% Response.Cookies("school")= ""
Response.Redirect "default.asp" %>
'code for default.asp which allows user to select a new school, and if the cookie "school" has some value then they are redirected.
<%
If request.cookies("school") <> "" then
Response.Redirect "portal.asp"
end if
%>

On this website i am building it has password protection on certain pages. So i have a "login" portion on the right side of the page, that is shown on every page. When someone logs in is it possible to change that little section to just say Welcome so and so? Instead of having the username and password form with submit button?? Or is this something that requires some java to hide it?
Part II
When someone logs in i want them to recieve a cookie, in that cookie i want it to contain the person's name (wich i want the to be put next to the "welcome back on part I), email address, and up to four other numerical values. (some people will have greater access to sections of the site depending on who they are)
Is is possible to grab this information from the SQL database and put in the cookie? If so can anyone please show me, point me in right direction, ect?

I'm using FrontPage Database results wizards to retrieve data from Access. I have a cookie containing a number I'd like to insert in a custom query. Whenever the page opens, I want the query to run using the value in the cookie. I haven't been able to figure out how to transfer the cookie value into something the FP webbot will accept in the query.

I’m a little worried, do you know how spiders work with regards to this sort of thing? My site gets some traffic due to it being spidered by the likes of google and I don’t want to loose that flow.
If I use this at the entry point of my site to redirect browsers with cookies turned off to a page telling them to turn them on will that stop the spiders?

If my user turns cookies off, both permanent and temporary cookies can't be used or only permanent cookies can't be saved on the user's machine?

I have a problem with a Cookie in an ASP page. Without any apparent reason, one of the Cookies disappears, but the others are ok.
I'm at Page1, a link goes to Page2. Page2 redirects to Page3 and Page3 redirects to Page1. When I'm back to Page1, sometime, one of the cookies don't exist anymore... But the others are there! The disappeared Cookie isn't always the same, in the 18 Cookies that I have.
The environment is composed of 4 clustered servers. Page1 is SSL, but not Page2 and Page3.
I don't have more than 4KB (1.86KB to be more precise) of data and I don't have more that 20 Cookies on the same domain.
I added the following code:

I want to retrieve the value of a cookie to make a form a little more user friendly (our intranet is configured to set a cookie for User First Name, Last Name and Email when they log in)
Unfortunately I can't figure out how to retrieve the value of the cookie. I've been trying:
<%
Response.write Request.Cookies(UserLName)

But it gives me an error - I used Checky to make sure the cookies are there and they do exist:
Name:mascot

Can someone give me some advice?

How can I remove a cookie from the client in ASP? I'm not talking about setting the value to a blank string and I've tried this:

Response.Cookies("mycookie").Expires = Date() - 100

I need to revisit cookie testing. On the home page and every product page I
write a cookie. I do this because some users enter by direct links to
product pages.
<%
Response.Cookies("cookietest") = ("49")
Response.Cookies("cookietest").Expires = Date + 2
%>
On the cart page I test for the cookie...
<%
If Request.Cookies("cookietest") <"49" Then
Response.Redirect("err.asp?e=1")
End If

I have a user that insists he has cookies enabled, yet he keeps getting
redirected to my error page which suggests he does not have cookies enabled.
What could cause this? Is the above too simple for all circumstances?
Is there more extensive code that I could setup on a hidden page where I can
send users to get read out on how they actually have their browsers setup?
i.e. Run a test on their browser and the results are emailed to me.

I have an asp page where i created cookies-for admin and for user. The aspx page reads these cookies. Everything seems to work fine but now i have to create a new cookie if cookie has expired or if cookie is null. Also, i am having problems with the expire because if the username belongs to the admin for example and then i want to change
the username that belongs to a normal user the cookie recognises the first (admin) cookie. How do i solve this? .....

I have created a page where i got sth like this:
if (request.cookies("example") <> ""
response.redirect("login.asp")
response.end
end if
(I will try to explain as easy i can), so in the login.asp using a .mdb i get the username and check with the password, and putting the username in the cookie in this case called example, but using some cookie poisoning i can be anybody logged in, even sb out of the table of users, i didn't use the session object, i wanted to use a cookie because i got curiosity and i didn't understand what is the difference, and actually i don't understand so much...anyways i got 2 questions, how i do sth for protect the cookie for cookie poisoning and what is the difference between the session and the cookie (from the little what i know is that the session is a predefined cookie that has some encrypting stuff and that so on and got some properties, methods right? and the cookie is just a information holder without any extra stuff as the session object has, am i right?)

I have created code to create a cookie about a user when their login and when they tick a remember me box.
The problem is though the the data in the cookie is stored in plain text. Which means I can use firefox and it webdeveloper tool to look at the cookie and change the values.
My question is how do you encrpyt a cookie so it doesnt store the info in plain text?

<%
Response.Cookies("CookieTest")="Lovely Cookie !"
Response.Cookies("CookieTest").Expires=DateAdd("n",5,Now())

<HTML><BODY>The cookie has arrived !</BODY></HTML>
I've set my IE6.0 to prompt me for all cookies, which it does for all web pages I visit,
but not for the above asp page which is hosted from IIS5.1 on my PC. I can see the cookie being created in my Cookies folder, but would like to be prompted first!
