What Charset The IIS Uses To Decode POST Request?
I am working on multilingual web-application, and I have to be very sure
about how the international characters are encoded and decoded in the
client-server form requests. Code:

Decode Request Data
When a browser sends (get or post) a form data containing non-ASCII char-s (i.e. above 127), Request returns some char-s encoded like '&#nnn'. It seems that when I used a standard WindowsXP keyboard driver to type a non-English text, the char-s are not encoded.
But when I copy/paste non-ascii char-s(e.g. from range 127..255, mostly Latin char-s with acute, grave and etc) from Character Map, then a browser sends them in '&#nnn' format. Why? And how to decode these char-s at a server end? Something reverse to Server.HTMLEncode().
How To Send Http Post Request
Let's say if I want to send a http "Post" request to a url, and check the http status code later. How should I write the code? I have found example to use WinHttp to send "Get" request and check the http status code:
======
Set objWinHttp = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5")
objWinHttp.Open "GET", strURL
objWinHttp.Send
If objWinHttp.Status <> 200 Then
...
End If
======
How should I write the code if I need to use "POST" to send data in a form, and to check the http status code later?
Base64 Decode
I am currently working on a project in classic ASP where I receive an XML file that contains an encoded base64 string that I need to do Decode the base64 string for a binary write. Insert the decoded string into SQL Server for later binary writes.
I have searched the web but I cannot find anything that works. There are many decode functions available but I cannot insert the results into SQL server.
Encode And Decode Strings
I have problem with what is seen in address bar.
I need a code to encode my queryStrings and again decode it
in the destination.So ther will be just unkown charecters for users in the address bar
UTF-8 Charset
I'm developing a Hebrew-based web site and wondering wether it would be better to set a specific hebrew charset or UTF-8.As far as I understand the the biggest diffrence is that utf-8 consumes double-size unicode characters when saving data to the DB.how does the explorer "know" if clients of my site have the right fonts?
I mean that if I'm using a specific charset in my web-site i.e. "windows-1255" - Hebrew charset and someone enteres my site,if he doesn't have the right fonts,the explorer posts a fonts-download-message.How can the explorer guess the required fonts when there is no specific indication for that in the HTML?
Charset Into Access
I have an Traditional Chinese version of Win 2000 web
Server, and not able to collect Simplified Chinese via
ODBC to MS Access with ASP. All I got from MS Access is a
not readable code, but copy and paste to Dreamwaver and
change charset to GB, then all text can read.
Which CDO.Message Charset Should I Use?
I am relatively new to using CDO.Message, and I desperately need some
I have an ASP 3.0 application that uses CDO to send automatic alerts
through Exchange 2003. How do I determine which charset to use for the
objMessage.BodyPart.CharSet?
The users of this application typically enter the HTMLBody message
through a form's textarea box. Often, they might cut and paste this
data from a MS Word file, which plays havoc on the message whenever
special characters are encountered, such as smart quotes, em dashes,
vulgar fractions and degree symbols. Code:
Charset In XMLHTTP
I'm trying to get some data from an external website using XMLHTTP, but my problem is that the data is with special danish characters in (ÆØÅ), which are being replaced with "?" due to UTF-8. I've tried to specify the charset using response.charset, but that doesn't seem to have any effect.
View Replies View RelatedRe-submit A POST Immediately From A Previous POST
Is there a way to 'force' a submit on a form with out actually allowing the
user to press a button ? For example...
step1: A from is filled out by a user, then they click the submit button.
step2: The form is 'post'ed to an ASP page which writes the values to a
database. So far No problems. But..
step3: Now I want to 'post' these values again to another page without any
user interaction.
My ideas were:
1) I know you can get the form values from Request.Form("myVar"), so I
thought of making a 'dummy' form and setting the 'values' of the form
variables to these Request.Form("myVar") valiables, but I don't know how to
'submit' them to another page again.
2) Is there some type of 'submit' command in ASP?
ACCESS "charset" Problem
after moving my ASP website that uses ACCESS DB from server A (win2003 with IIS6) to server B (win2003 with IIS6),the hebrew records that the ASP code pulls from the database appears as asteriks marks (????? ??).
on the old server the same code shows good hebrew characters but on the new server it doesn't. what should I configure or change on the new server so hebrew characters will shown well. the new server has hebrew installed and configured at "regional languages and settings"
maybe this is something with downloading and uploading the .MDB file ?
Request.BinaryRead :: Request Object Error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005'
Why does the error below occur whenever the statement Request.BinaryRead Request.TotalBytes) is executed for uploads larger than 100K? I thought the 100K limit applied only to Request.Form. This does not occur with smaller uploads. This is running on an IIS 6 server with full FP2002 extensions.
ERROR:
Request object error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005'
Operation not Allowed
Consecutive Request.Form And Request.BinaryRead
Request.Form and Request.BinaryRead cannot be called after each other as it causes errors.
I need the BinaryRead and I also need to access other form values, but I cannot call them after one another. What do I do?
What Is The Difference Between REQUEST And REQUEST.QUERYSTRING?
What is the difference between these two statements? They seem to do the
same thing...
response.write(request("variable"))
response.write(request.querystring("variable"))
Post Data, Then Post Again..
i have a series of .asp pages that i am dividing into model, view, control logic. my view collects a whole bunch of data and posts it to the controller. im wondering if there is a way to somehow "re-post" this same data to my model page.
in short, is .asp capable of taking data posted to a page and re-post that same data to another page?
Using Request And Request.Form
when the asp page is Request("txtName").i can use "testpage.aspx?txtName=User1" to post the value.but when i use Request.Form("txtName").i cannot use that method,what can i do to solve that problem.(as i cannot modifty the request.form syntax but i need to post data to that web page, is there any method so that i can pass that parameter?)

I saw some program using "request("fieldname") " instead of "request.QueryString" to get the value from URL, what's the different ?
View Replies View RelatedRequest.Form("Field Name") Versus Request.QueryString("Field Name")
I want to know what's the differences between
Request.Form("Field Name") and
Request.QueryString("Field Name")
OR they function exactly the same, which is to return the value of the
field??
Asp Post
I've an html form with some fields, I have to normally post them clicking a
submit button to an asp page; this page have to programmatically repost
these fields and other constants to another page
I do this beacuse I don't want the web user to see the costants which are
the authentication values (username password)
POST And GET
I couldn't get my page to POST to my server I thought
because I had run IIS lockdown and other hardening tools.
Now I've rebuilt the whole server from scratch and have
yet to disable anything. I still can't POST. GET has been
working fine all along. Is there anything that needs to
be done beyond setting the forms method to POST and using
Request.Form(whatever), instead of Request.QueryString
(whatever)? Is there something that I need to put in the
ASP or client page header or something? I must be missing
something. Maybe IIS 5 needs to be set up to use POST or
something.
Old Post
It's really simple question. How can I insert Statement/line with " ' ".. for exmaple I get error if I enter "Let's play".
I am trying to instert that line into table.
Post To A URL
I'm trying to make a simple ASP page post to a URL on a seperate web site, and then get the returned HTML into a string which on service side script I can then parse. Is there any object built into IIS or Microsoft I could use Server.CreateObject with to make this possible?
View Replies View RelatedEnd Of Post
I have a form that get submitted. On the page that dose the db work I need a loop that will run through each record set and updated it to the db. I was thinking about writing a do loop that will increment scount = scount + 1 . the problem is that I have no idea how to tell if i am at the end of my request.form("id").
i can response my request.form("id") and i see all the id's listed acress the page.. just need to loop through then one at a time.
Get Vs Post
Well I did a little research of my own and found that get shouldn't be used when a form is causing some big changes into the DB such as deleting, updating etc.
Until now I've always used GET for everything. So should I use Post for updating, deleting editing etc and GET only for retrival.
From Post To Get
I am trying to re-write a post method search page so that it will accept variables using the get method. For those of you asking what the heck i'm talking about simply this. I need the ability to send variables through the url to the search page of my site.
This page would be a copy, i.e. Searchprods.asp-original that uses post method, Searchprods2.asp using get method. I am almost completely lost as I don't use asp, or even vbscript often.
Post
i got a lot of text inputs inside table(60~)and i want to update them. till now i used to do it with posting to another page the variables and on the other page i will take all the posted values and update it inside mysql.
but suppose i got a long list of text inputs. is there to update only the changed fields? if i got 60 text inputs, and changed only 4. i realy think this is not logical to standon the other page and check all 60 posted variables one by one if they empty or not andupdate those which the user changed, or to skip the checking part and to update all 60 at once.
Post Data
in past, i learnt from the book to post data by
action=post & input type=text
now the post data is not from user input
it is from a table which is generated by asp script
i wish to generate a table with a check box at each row.
when i select the check boxs, then the rows of the table will be posted to
another html page
any hints to me for doing this?
Secondly, how about if rows of the table will be posted to a input box on
another html page grateful if you could give me some hints.
Post Variable
I have a VB application sending data via post to an ASP page.
The application sends two variable: id, txt
If txt has the & sign in its string, it cause trouble. E.g.:
id = 1
txt = "Hello & more"
If I take a look into Request.Form() array in asp page, it shows the
following:
id = 1
txt = "Hello "
more = ""
Passing Post
I'm posting a form from a php page to a page that's asp. I want the url parameters sent to the asp page to be the defaults of the form. I've never used asp so I'm not sure how to do this.For example:
www.test.com/test.asp?clientid=123
Text field in asp/javascript form called "client" should now default to "123".
In php I would have put this as the default value for the "client" field in the form: <?php $_GET['clientid']; ?>
What would be the equivalent way of doing it for asp?
Post Error
what's wrong with the line below
<A HREF="http://www.nyc-discusfanatics.com/face/dragonball/forum/Breeding/BreedingDisplayPost.asp?tid=<%objRS("ThreadID")%>#<%objRS3("ThreadID")%>"> ></A>

POST Method
Now this is a weird one. I'm having a problem with a system in development. When I post data from a form in IE 5.01 it works fine, but in IE 5.5 it refuses to post the data to the server and in IE 6 it's scatty -- works sometimes but not others. Anyone seen this before?
Edit:
By the way -- this is normal VBS/ASP running on IIS 5 on an NT server
Post Data
i have an asp page with a form that posts to itself. (the action of the form
is the same page the form is on). i validate input and dont accept it if
there is something wrong with it. problem is that when the form is
submitted, and i display the error message, the data the user typed in the
box is gone. i work around this by setting a session variable as soon as the
user hits submit and store the data the user typed. then for the default
value of the textbox i have <%= Session("var") %and that leaves the users
data in the box for them to edit. is there a better way i could do this?
POST Data
Is there a way I can POST data from a ASP page to another page? I am not trying to POST data from a form to another page, but would like to create the POST headers from different variables, and then send it to another page
