I am using the XMLHTTP object to request a page from within another ASP page. For my scenario, the two pages should operate in the same session. However, when I request the second page, a new session is created. This makes sense since it is coming from a different client (the XMLHTTP object as opposed to my browser).
I've tried to pass the ASPSESSIONID cookie along with the XMLHTTP post, but every time I pass the valid cookie, the XMLHTTP request times out.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? Is what I am trying to accomplish even possible?
I have code written in VBScript that accepts a POST submission from an external server to perform an auto-login to our website. I am experiencing an issue with Internet Explorer ONLY that I have determined using Fiddler.
The problem is that when I POST to this page, I need to set a few session variables that are passed on to the following page after logging in. But using fiddler, I have realized that for some reason, in IE, the "Set-cookie" statement in the headers is never acted on by the server. On all following pages the "set-cookie" header is sent on every page, but the ASP SESSION header is never set that indicates the session was started.
If I do the same test in Firefox, it works perfectly fine, no problem. So it seems IE is the issue.
One other fairly important piece of the problem appears to be that the external server that is initiating the POST submission is running Java, so when the user is on the external server their browser is maintaing a JSESSIONID value. But when they submit the POST form over to our server, the Set-Cookie directive is trying to set an ASPSESSIONID, which is never accepted by the browser...
So is it possible that for some reason IE is not able to handle a user coming from a JSESSIONID over to an ASPSESSIONID?
I need to somehow work around this, or somehow force the ASPSESSIONID to kick in, because it is critical that I can set session variables for use on later pages.
I can't seem to find again where this cookie is placed by IIS. Can someone quickly respond with its location. Thank you. Also, does anyone know if this system created cookie has the same attribute of SECURE as does a developer created cookie? I know it's read only but how can I secure it. I'm using 128 SSL in addition.
It was recently brought to my attention that a cookie that gets set for access to our intranet is being appended with ASPSESSIONIDSCBRRTTR followed by a long string of random characters and no one seems to know who or what is setting this.
Can anyone provide me with some insight? Is this an automatic ASP or IIS function or is it something to be concerned about?
How do you change the ASPSessionID during a web session? I have an ASP application in SSL. The first screen is a login screen, which requests user id and password. An ASPSessionID is assigned for this page. Once the user is authenticated by valid id/pwd, the second page starts the real applicaiton. I want to change the ASPSessionID to be different from the first login page, which was issued to an unauthenticated user. How do I do that in ASP?
Is there an easier way to handle that? I used Javascript to handle this when our two domains are hosted on two different servers(on different networks) and our search engine marketing people don't like the javascript links since they think the links are not favorable to a search robot.
Now our company is thinking about hosting these two domians on the same server, So I am wodering if there is any easy way to do that....
We have an intranet which is personalized using a cookie which we set. I have an outside vendor who is developing an application which will live on a seperate server. Is there a way they can read the cookie which we set to log user into their application so that we can make it a seamless transition?
I am developing an asp.net 2.0 application using visual studio 2005 on my computer and I am getting very inconsistent results when I test on my computer versus from other computers.
The symptom of the problem is that the web server does not receive cookie information from the browser after I have properly logged in to the web server. Without this information, my session state keeps on getting lost and the authentication logic sends me back out to the login page.
Using Fiddler, I have narrowed down the problem to what I think is the browser not always sending cookie information (containing the session and authentication ticket) to the web server.
This is what I have tried:
1. If I run the browser on the same computer as the webserver, I see that the cookies are sporadically not being sent from the browser for the .aspx pages.
2. If I run the browser from a 2nd and 3rd computer and hit the web server on the first computer, I see that the cookies are always being sent for the ..aspx pages.
3. If on the webserver I force asp.net to assume cookieless clients, my browser on the same computer works fine since the "cookie" information is part of the URL.
I haven't tried installing my dev environment on the 2nd or 3rd computers and try to see how the browser behaves when hitting the new webserver. I am trying to avoid that for now. But from my 1st computer, if I run the browser against a totally different web application I have seen the same behavior in my Fiddler logs. The browser sporadically does not send cookie information to the server.
I suspect that it may be something specific to the IE browser on my computer. Maybe there is some security program or setting that is causing this issue on this computer and not others. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas on what this problem could be? I want to find out the problem to make sure that when I deploy my web application, this issue does not resurface on my user's computers.
i'm setting up my web new server. i see that cookies do not persist after a Server.Transfer or Response.Redirect although i do expire them the next year.
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?
well, the following script that i wrote using the aspSmartMail component, keeps timing out on me. i tried setting the timeout higher through both IIS and in the script itself, but all that does that it take longer for it to timeout.
i have written a few email programms using this component, so i don't think it is the component. i have just never tried sending emails with it automatically that each have certain unique fields in it. well anyways, here is the code:
I've written a page that uses a emailer component and it keeps timing out. It takes 2-3 seconds to send each mail, gets part way through the list of recipients and dies.I have tried changing the Script Timeout setting in IIS to some huge number(2147483647?).I hve tried setting Server.ScriptTimeout = 0 and Server.ScriptTimeout =2147483647. None of these make any difference. What can I do now?
I have a class that access an MS SQL database.I have another class also accesses an MS SQL database and this second class uses objects from the first class.I have a third class using the DB and objects of the second class.
Each of these classes contain all the code needed to access the database and this means much duplicated code. What I'd like to know is if there is a way to avoid the duplicated code?
I know I could write the code once,then do an #include to include the code into the class,but that still means multiple occurances of the code.
There is 600 lines of code. This page gets available rooms from RoomInfo and compares the rooms againest rooms in use from EventRoom by RoomID. RoomInfo RoomID field is text. It can contain multiple rooms (i.e. 5,6,7) based on room setup type. I had to do it this way so that users could book multiple rooms based on configuration and how many people.
Line 412 is where the time out occurs. Also if I use split on rs2(RoomID) {line 415} then I can't start at 0, I have to start on 1. Which means 1 room is not being checked. I tried to annotate the code as best as possible. The page is zipped so you can download and view it. It will bomb if you try to run it on the server it is being hosted on.
I've done this before but cannot remember how. I have a field (FIELDNAME) in a sql2k environment. I just need to know how many times an "_" appears in that field. I cannot figure it out right now.
If Now() >= tstart1 OR Now() <= tend1 Then 'if tcurrent > tstart1 or tcurrent < tend1 then strLink1 = "/images/2.jpg" else strLink1 = "/images/1.jpg" end if
When I look at the page, the image never changes. It just always displays 2.jpg and not 1.jpg. I need help ASAP!
I am trying to simply print to screen all the data in a colum from a .mdb file. Later I will do more advanced things but for now this would be good.
What I have WORKS, but takes a LONG time to retrieve the first record, if I tell it to retrieve more than one row it will time out. I was hoping to connect to the file directly and not have to create an ODBC connection. The code seems simple enough and the server is no dud (p4 2.4ghz) so do I need to setup a DSN and connect to it that way? Code:
im making the web site for a small internet radio station and would like to add the feature to show which DJs are currently on air. I would like to do this by swaping an image at certain times or even dates.
For instance
dim image
if time = 05:15:00 then image = bob else if time = 23:30:00 then image = dave end if
Something along those lines but I dont know the exact code required to do this.
Would be really greatful for any help, I think it would be a nice feature for our listeners.
I'm currently developing on IIS 5, ASP 3 and MySQL 4.1 using the latest ODBC driver from MySQL.
Any time field I have return from the database is returned as the current date. I've tried every table which has a date, created tables which soley keep records on the date.
I've submitted the date from MySQL Query browser using CURRENT_TIME and from an ASP page. Both submit fine.
I've returned the record using a Recordset to move through each and filled an array using GetRows().
My interest is to guarantee that my users never need to logon again. Can’t put a session.Timeout to high because of memory on server. So how can I get the session refreshed before session times out?
I'm sure you've seen them all over the place. Before downloading a file, it tells you the size of the file and the approximate download timedepending on your connection.
I have found a lot of javascript calculators out there where you input the size of the file and it calculates the time you need. These provide the end result I need, but 1) I hate javascript with a passion and 2) I want the download times to be displayed automatically when you select a file to download.
As a last resort, I can spend some time re-writing it for ASP, pulling the file info directly from the file in question (which would be a variable) rather than requiring an input of the size; but I'm wondering if anyone has an ASP version already done. Save me some time and hassle that way.
I am creating a news page for a fun website just to learn, it has a simple html form that lets me post new news items to a MSSQL database.
The thing I am trying to do now is have the loop only run about 5 times, so that it displays only the last 5 news items from the database, I will then create an archive page which will display them all.
I have a book that I read and I found the for..next statement and I t would work nicely from what I am reading,
I ported a script I made over to SQL Server 2k from Access and went from queries that took a tenth of a second to up to 30 seconds! Typically they are between 5-10 seconds.
All I can think of is I screwed something up in the connection procedure, and here that is:
I'm almost finished creating a simple events calendar that will allow users to book rooms and see at a glance, which rooms are booked, and at what times. Unfortunately I've hit a brick wall with the final stages of development.
I've created a screen shot of what I would like to display on the screen (see below). I can't for the life of me figure out how I'm going draw each cell and populate it with the database information (should it require populating).
I have a project where I want an email to be sent at a certain time, say 10 PM every night if there are new hits to my site. The email will be only going to my email address. does any one know of a way to do this?
I have an html page with standard contact us type form. This when posted goes to an asp page which stores the data and then sends an email to me. It then redirects back to the original email form with a message thanking the user for the contact.
The problem is I am getting multiple spoof emails which are being generated form the asp page. Some one is accessing and then just refershing the page so it generates numerous emails.
Is there a way of either hiding the asp page in the original HTML form or checking that the page has been called by the html form rather than just refreshed.
