Reliability Of HTTP Get Of ASP Page
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.
I use the Indy component TidHTTP to get the file:
HTTPClient.Request.ContentType := 'text/html';
HTTPClient.Request.CacheControl := 'no-cache' ;
Response.Text := HTTPClient.Get (TIdURI.URLEncode (URL)) ;
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.

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?

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!)
Whats going on?!?! Code:

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:/

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?

This works find when we call it using HTTP/1.0 but if we use HTTP/1.1 or above it doesn't work. Here's the code:

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?
