I have an app that gets a file from a web server. An ASP page is passed authenitication data (username, password) and a filename. The file is read and then output by the ASP page so the only response is the file I am requesting. The file I want to receive is XML with the major portion of it being a Base64-encoded block.
Problem is that more often than not, the returned file contains errors. In a 200k file, 2 or 3 characters are often munged. Occasionally I manage to receive the file without errors. Code:
I have an ASP form which collects data into a MS Access database. This is used to collect information from 120 of my students. Last year I used a free host but this was utterly unreliable.
This year I am using a paid host. It's much more reliable but I'm still finding about 20% of students do not get their data saved to the database at all.
I am about to implement an online auction system similar to ebay. I am debating between two products. One is PHP the other ASP (PHP Auction and Rainworx).
I typically like PHP better, because I've noticed ASP always seems to turn up an error (even on professional sites), but the ASP system has more of the features that I need.
Can anyone tell me the pros/cons of ASP vs. PHP? My largets concern is speed. Is ASP fast? and is it reliable? I've heard something about the code breaks down over time, etc.
Is there any limitation on a ASP (or http) page size (in bytes), i.e. what is max size(in bytes) a ASP page can hold? I seems to know that there was a limit of 64K, but that was long, long time ago, probably more than ten years.
Is is possible and if so would anyone have a brief example of submitting data from an ASP page to another server via HTTP, using a POST method. Essentially duplicating an HTML FORM.
Further details, if availalbe would be the use of username/password (basic) authentication and the HTTP connection is actually and HTTPS (SSL) connection.
I have 2 sites on my Windows Server 2003/ISA/IIS machine. One of the sites works fine and has 'default.htm' for the default document. The other site returns an 'HTTP error 404' and has a 'default.asp' for the default document. Aside from that they appear to be configured the same.
I have an ASP page that sits and listens for responses sent to it by a third party. The third party simply sends a plain text delimited response in the body of the http message.
Eg: Account=2,User=92663,Pass=OK,Action=5
What I can't figure out on my listening page, is how to capture the body of the message being posted to it, so that i can then manipulate the delimited string, and split it up into the variables for later use.
How do i get access to the body of the http page? I thought perhaps using WinHTTP, but it looks like it only works when your page goes looking for a web page, and not when a page is being submitted to it, like in this case.
am using pws on win 98 and when i try to excute any asp page i got the following error
Response object error 'ASP 0156 : 80004005' The HTTP headers are already written to the client browser. Any HTTP header modifications must be made before writing page content.
I have a password-protected area on my site. I'm not using any server authentication methods: Instead I prompt the user for a username and password using an HTML form and check these against a database of registered users.
I was thinking that this page should be returning a HTTP status code of "401 Unauthorized" instead of its current "200 OK". My reasoning being that this would let search engines know what's going on when they request a protected page and get redirected to the "Access Denied" page.
I experimented with adding response.status = "401 Unauthorized" to the "denied" page, but now it displays a (Windows/IE) username & password prompt instead. The HTTP sniffer shows that the www-authenticate field is set to "Basic".
My question: How can I indicate to the search engines that the page it is requesting requires authentication, yet have it not display the login/password dialog box?
well i m developing application in asp when i want to access these pages from ie5 it shows error HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden in internet explorer http://localhost/Mail/email.htm .
I thought this is more of an IE issue but i've had no joy on that group perhaps somebody here will have a clue.
If i click a link to a web page embedded in Excel (97 OR 2000) i get the standard error page displayed by IE (you know, the 'cannot find server or dns error' page).
Turning off 'show friendly http error messages' alleviates this. (Unfortunately this is the Windows default setting!)
in ie 5 i m writing this below statement http://localhost/Mail/email.html
email.html page contains 3 field box username , password and name .it calls the form2email.asp page the code is that <FORM name="mailform" METHOD=POST ACTION="form2email.asp">
If someone puts a link into my form and I display it it will show:
http://http://www.abc.com as I put an additional http:// in front. So what I want is to detect is user has typed in http://, replace this and then input into DB or display.
I can use the replace function, but how would I check if first 7 characters are http:/
I uninstall IIS and install it back again, will it solve the "HTTP 403.9 - Access Forbidden: Too many users are connected Internet Information Services" problem? I am running on Windows XP and using IIS 5.1 . I got this problem when I created a search page in Frontpage but I have deleted it when I found out I have this problem. I have disable HTTP Keep Alives in the IIS properties but I still cant resolve the problem.
When i try to post message or try to open a new account server gives this error : How can solve this problem

I am getting the following error when trying to run an SQL insert in my ASP page and I cannot find anything in TechNet that references this error.
Below are IIS messages:

It seems to me that if I can have a regular .asp page that contains multiple <input type='file'> elements, and a user could browse to individual files and fill up all the elements on the page, that there should be a way to replicate the HTTP post data. Can I somehow make my client-side activeX component post the same type of data?
I tried using MS Stress Tool to view the post data being sent from a regular.asp page that contained several <input type='file'> elements.I saw that there was a structure to it. The structure contained the binary data of the files I had selected for upload. But, I have not been able to figure out how I would replicate this structure in my client-side activeX component
I have certain ASP pages that are wel tested and working in many places. But there is one server (window 2000) on which some of the asp pages do not work. I get a HTTP 404 fil not found error. I checked more than a few times and made sure the file are there on the server where the IIS application is looking at.
some of the ASP pages are working fine. Only those ASP pages whose name starting with 'ETC' is not working. If I chang the name of the same ASP to some thing other than "ETC" it works fine. Do you think there is some software on the sever that tells IIS t block requests coming from any ASP pages starting with the name 'ETC'. what is going on?
I'm having problems with timeouts on HTTP uploads. I set the session timeout property to zero, but it still didn't work. Is there a way to set the timeout to never expire?

I have a form that a user submits their clan's website, and roster page. What I want to do, is check to see if the field submitted contained "http://" and if not, add it to the field submission.
I know i can make this easier, and put the http:// in the field as a default value, but i want to know how to do this with a bit of form validation or something.
I have free web-based email.Is there any way I can create an http server? For example, like hotmail does for outlook express? If so, how? Hotmails HTTP server is at http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp.

If I want to have a username/password dialog in my page, how can I add http header in ASP for username/password dialog? I want to hardcode the username/password in my page and check the authentication.
I get a http 500 error on all asp pages. When turning off the friendly message box, the message is "Class does not exist". What is the fix for that? This affect all asp pages incling the default asp pages in the default directory.
Why ASP's MS XML HTTP request object gets another page's HTML source without interpreting path differences. For example, if my page is:
www.test.asp/one/two/page1.asp
with XMLHTTP getting source code of page:
www.test.asp/one/page2.asp
and this latter page has a CSS with path ../include/css.css, it won't be used in page1.asp because path will stay as it is "../include/ css.css", not "../../include/css.css" as needed for page1.asp?
I created a form for users to sign up for a newsletter our site sends out. The thing is we use a third party that keeps a db of our subscribers and sends the email for us. The signup resides on our site and when the user submits they get poasted to this third party site and then click through and get refreshed to our site again.
We want change that process and keep the user on our site so now thier values need to get posted to the 3rd party behind the scenes. Code:
I'm trying to detect if the user is utilizing HTTP or HTTPS in the address bar. The following code responds true regardless of whether I use HTTP or HTTPS. What should I be using? In the end, if the user types in HTTP, I will redirect them to HTTPS.
