I have a page which allows the user to open one of several spreadsheets by
streaming the XLS to the client.
On my development site, everything appears to work fine. On the live site,
it works fine for the vast majority of users, but not for my colleague & I.
When this page is called with the correct inputs, the standard
Open/Save/Cancel/More Info dialog should appear. In the dialog, it gives the
following details:
Filename: Gothenburg Sweden.xls
File type: Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet
From: Servername
Clicking on open, means that the file will be opened in the local copy of
Excel; this works for most people, except one colleague and myself. In our
case, after clicking on Open, we get the following error msg:
"Internet Explorer cannot open travel.asp?journey=1 from <servername>
Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. The requested
site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."
I am working in an intranet/extranet application in which the user should be able to see some documents (specially doc and pdf). These documents will be stored in a safe place in the server preventing anybody from downloading them directly from the URL.
In order to achieve this, I have made an activeX component which takes the original file and stream it to the client. I have basically two questions/problems.
First, is there a way to manipulate the document generated dinamically in order to change the way it is displayed in the browser(zoom factor,etc)? By default it depends on the client configuration. Maybe I could use an application.word object in the ASP but the problem is that I don't have the document in a file, I only have a stream sent from the server.
Another question is, how can I avoid the download dialog(open/download file prompt) on the client? I always want the document to be displayed on the browser. I know this is for security reasons, but can this be configured in some way through the IIS options for the web site? Code:
I would like to ask something regarding my project. i've been planning to develop a website using asp code for streaming multimedia features.
unfortunatly i have zero knowledge bout all this things that needed. can someone give me a rough guideline abt what should i do step-by-step. such as what database should i use. how can i store or create a database that can hold my multimedia files?
Here is a written descripton of my webpage. One frame split down the middle. The left side is the menu and the right displays what is selected from the menu.
the user selects from the menu and on the right, clicks on "download image" link. the user is presented with a download dialog box. The user saves the image and when it is completed goes and selects another item from the menu. But this time nothing happens.
It is like i have to refresh the page before anything works again. It is like it is stuck on the ASP binary stream file that forced the download.
I have the following code which works fine downloading smaller files, the trouble is most of the files to be downloaded are large. With large files it just returns a HTTP 500 error. Code:
i used active x plugin (quicktime), in source file of the plugin i placed the code "Myservermyvideovideo.mov" but when i browse the page, it cant view the view, i used iis6.0. ider an addtiional code on this when retrieving the source from a network?
I've got a particular project to do and because of my very basic understanding I'd appreciate being pointed towards a relevant example. Basically I want to have my client side stream the contents of an XML using SOAP to a webserver.
I don't want to attach an XML file, rather just stream the contents. I have to write both parts. There must be good tutorial around somewhere.
does anyone have a good way of streaming video on my site? I guess it doesn't matte what format they are in, is there something which kicks off media player?
neeeded some advice and code snippets on trying to stream a video file in ASP. I know i can run that video file in flash file and then run it in asp but i dont intend to do that. I need to use only ASP.
I'm about to venture onto a new project of developing an ASP Page that captures images from a streaming web camera, and displays them (refreshs) the image every 15 seconds.
The question I have, is it possible to capture images (every 15 secs- from the webcam on the intranet) and store that snap shot as say a .jpg file in a folder, and then have the ability to continuously add images to this folder, so at a later date you could develop a system that would display photo after photo simultaneously, fast motion of the project in action.
We are using ASP pages and the response object in conjunction with the binarywrite method and a custom com dll in order to stream files back to users. All works fine, except mhtml web archives(*.mht or *.mhtml files) . When we stream an mhtml web archive back to the user we see the actual file inside the browser window and not the web archive document the way it should be displayed.
We are setting the content type property to message/rfc822 for mhtml files. We also set the content-disposition header ( like this content-disposition: filename="mytest.mht" ) This file opens up fine if we place a direct link to the file, however exposing a directory of files is not an option available to us.
We have also created a cgi in c that does the same thing as the ASP however to no avail we still get the actual contents of the file and not the mhtml document. This happens on both IIS 5 and 6. Any suggestions???
I'm having a trouble with HTTP file transfer. I use an ASP file to provide controlled access to some files and stream them back to the client by adding the "content-disposition: attachment" header.
This usually works perfectly, but I've noticed that if I try to stream a ..RAR file, the client browser does not show any "open/save" window (it simply ignores the file transfer), and .RAR appears to be the only file type which causes it to behave this way. Can anyone explain me what this means or what it may be due to?
I use MS IE 6 and IIS 6... and the transfers are all HTTP/1.1 of course.
I am working on an app that needs to stream binary files(such as PDF or WORD docs) to the browser. I cannot just pass a URL pointing to the file directly. I've tried the following in an ASP file: Code:
where strData contains the binary data content of the WORD file in a string variable (for PDF, I would set the content type to "application/pdf"). However, the browser displays the data itself, rather than hosting the doc in the appropriate browser applet.
I have an exe file on a server that reads an XML file ( as a parameter) and generates a new file for downloading. However, most servers won't allow an exe file to create the new binary file. Is there any way that I can execute the exe file and have it download straight to the client instead of saving to the server?
I have created a Spreadsheet object that I need to stream directly to a file through the browser. I can not save this file, that I would then stream, to the web server, even though this would save me a lot of aggravation.
Since Microsoft seems to see no value in providing any documentation for their OWC 11 components, I am just one of many developers groping around trying to find how to use this.
Does anyone know of a quick and easy way to stream a particular share price eg: msft into one's website....I have done a google search but I am not finding anthing specific...is there an asp solution?
I am working on a classic ASP application. This application needs to run an SQL query and take the result set and stream it into an XCEL spreadsheet for processsing by the users. Is there an ASP method of third party product to do this?
I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following problem. I have a page set up to display various foreign language characters using:
<%@ Language=VBScript CodePage=65001%> And Response.charset = "utf-8"
The web page displays everything fine. However when I stream the page to MS word using Response.ContentType="application/msword", the foreign language characters are replaced by garbage. Interestingly, when I cut and paste directly from the original web page to Word, the characters are displayed correctly.
i have a problem with streaming files. i want to force a download box to appear, which works fine. however it only works for files with a size of <4mb, anything else and a 0byte file is downloaded. the web server uses IIS6.
is there something i can change to allow bigger files to transfer? Code:
Basically, we are working on a website where we want people to be able to see about 10minutes of our live streaming webcams on a once off basis. We are working on IP address sessions to do this, my question is however we want to have a single page with a countdown timer and the streaming video.
Now the timer is located on a local server but the streaming video is coming from a remote location, can we include use the remote asp page inside our local page. So far we keep getting the remote url displayed but not the media player.
I am looking for live streaming audio/video technology to integrate in my ASP .NET web application. My searches led to a couple of open source products but most of them were old or came under the form of a full blown web application - not an SDK.
The project is academic and is ample therefore building my own is not feasible at this time. The end product will have to provide the functionality of a commercial product but will only be used as a proof of concept so no commercial use is intended.
Ideally all I am looking for is a library that can establish live-audio video connection between two computers over the internet and allows the video be embedded within a web page (with no or a minimum set of other controls). Also there has to be possible to transmit high quality video.
I need to do online streaming multimedia file on my web portal, just like those online portal that selling MP3. User need to click on the preview link to stream the audio file to listen before they decide to buy the file or not. How do i link my audio file in my web server to allow it to be stream? Totally lost on this function,
I've been lurking and searching for a while and hope someday to contribute to the forums. My question though it may seem strange is this. Is it possible to run a compiled VB app on the client machine that is called from an asp app running on an intranet server? Intranet server pushes asp to client's web browser. Client clicks on a link that somehow runs the process on the client machine. I realize this is not what asp is meant to do but I do have some applications that could be integrated into the company intranet fairly easily if this is possible. A re-write in asp would be labor intensive. It is simple enough for me to setup standard folders on the clients that require these apps
