I'm using XMLHTTP to perform a simple screen scraping job.
When I try to have it "scrape" lines with embeded CSS declarations, it
renders them incorrectly, stripping the leading period. Consequently, my CSS
doesn't work.Here's how I'm calling it, but I don't think my implementation is the
problem.
Dim srvXmlHttp
Set srvXmlHttp = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
srvXmlHttp.open "GET", TearURL, false
srvXmlHttp.send()
If srvXmlHttp.status <> 200 Then
Response.Write "No Server Response"
Response.End
End If
Dim strRetval5
strRetval5 = srvXmlHttp.responseText
I have an ASP page which has a form for user to input some information and it gets stored in an Access database. The problem i am having is when a person enters a name with a special character, like Macy's, it gives a Jet database error.
What i am looking for is for a way to remove special characters from the form field in question, like apostrophes, when they tab to the next field. So if they input Macy's, when they go to the next field the previous field gets updated to Macys instead.
We have an unusual situation at the USC School of Medicine; we have to covert every Web page to a template. The template is too wide to print and a lot of our students print lectures, notes, etc. We thought we could keep to the template and draw in the content from other files by using includes. BUT these files are HTML files and therefore, have Body commands in them. If this could work, we could put a printable link back to the other page and it would print. Seems like a great solution except for the extra body commands. We are using ASP for our scripting.
1. How much of a boondoggle will it be if the files have two body commands in them. How many browsers would it break?
2. Is there a scripting way around this without creating some objects?
3. Is there something out there -- shareware or commercial -- that would fix this problem.
4. Could something be done about this using pearl, for example?
We'd really like to do it this way because we can have the users create the content, use the same file names all the time, thus overwriting the old file, and the user would never get a chance to screw up the template.
The following pattern is used to strip HTML tags from a string. I need to remove the tags only if they contain a colon. Is it possible? How can I modify this regexp pattern to match only if a colon exists between the "<" and ">" ? Code:
I think a regular expression maybe the solution to the problem I have. My problem is I am pulling a list from a database which I want to list alphabetically. The problem is, the records are stored with a number before them:
eg."762348 - RecordA" --> So I want just the "RecordA" bit so I can list alphabetically. What I want to do is strip off everything at the beginning up to the first Alphabetic character. Is a regular expression the way to go?
The included file is html-rich, and if included in default.asp, it displays as such. However, as I am attempting to make my website accessible, I wish to be able to strip out the html tags on the included page dynamically.
I have used the following function (and have called it with the above statement) but am getting an error in my functions.asp file: Unexpected quantifier. This is on the line that states Code:
One of the limitations of ASP is the lack of a dynamic SSI, in which you can include files using variables. So far I know only of two methods to go around that.to use the File System Object.to use the XMLHTTP Object.Which one of the two is less of a burden for IIS ? Or are there other ways that are much better?
I m getting information with XMLHTTP from 3 sites at the same time. but it is so slow. how can i make it faster. any information or any document about it. anyone who know about it. it is about alsa bandwith. how can i increase xml http performance.
I got a great little example of how to use XMLhttp to query an external web site (I'm wanting to do my own localised search engine by extratcing the content and putting it into an Access DB), but it only appear to extract from the page that you point it to, ie the main default page is extracted when you put in something like www.hp.com.
I want the util to extract content from all of the found pages in the site I suppose like a spider. Has anybody done this or any ideas how you get it to go past more than the initial page?
I need the ASP/xml page to send the Request to the share point portal server (Webdav) using XMLHTTP and i also need to parse the response xml into HTML.If any body knows about.
It might contais mainly three files one is Search page where user can type his requirements , second one contains sending XMLHTTP request to the Share Point Portal server and third one contains the Parse xml response into HTML format.
I use MSXML2.XMLHTTP to receive some HHTP responces from remote server, unfortunatedly, it uses cookie-based auth., so I am unable to pass it, due to inability to store cookies. How can I retrieve cookies from the headers of HTTP response, and how can I add them to my request at the next step?
Up to this point, i've been able to extract the search results from a site. Form -> Results chain.
However, on a new project im on, im a little stuck, and not sure if it is at all possible. The next page im trying to get info from there's a chain of 3 pages. so Form -> Middle -> Results.
I've tried inputting my own form data, but i get the page info from the Middle link, and not the Results link. Any ideas how i can go on to the Results link?
At the moment i dont think it's possible, but i haven't been in this game for long.
Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP") in order to get a connection from one server to another.
On my personal host (IIS) the above method works perfect, and I can 'include' an HTTP stream from a remote URL into my own page. However, the method doesn't work on another webserver (IIS, too) although the MSXML2.ServerXMLHTPP method is installed (I checked it).
The error message I get there is: msxml3.dll error '80072ee2' The operation timed out
This error does only appear if I try to get data from a remote URL, if I try to get data from http://localhost/foo, the method works - I believe the webserver is behind a proxy. Would this cause any problems? And if so, how can it be solved?
- Do you guys know of any other solution how to 'emulate' the php include command in ASP without using the MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP method?
Shown below is ASP Code sample that tries to access a method,CreateUser in the server called, "http://smallbutsmart.basis.com.au" using the protocol,XMLHTTP. Can you explain to me why this Code does not work and showing the correct Code Sample?
<% dim objXMLHTTP set objXMLHTTP = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") objXMLHTTP.Open "Post", "http://smallbutsmart.basis.com.au", false 'objXMLHTTP.SetRequestHeader "Content-type", "text/html" 'objXMLHTTP.CreateUser "abc","123","Scriven","1","001","qms" objXMLHTTP.Send %>
I've been searching everywhere online to find an alternative method besides using Microsoft.XMLHTTP (as it freezes the server up alot!!) but with no luck at all.
I am using server side ASP, and some said to use Microsoft.ServerXMLHTTP instead. However I have tried that as well and it still freezes up the whole thing (i.e. the site just keeps loading forever).
I tried to do a "on error resume next" clause to catch the error but still doesn't stop the page being freezing up.. :(
I saw someone here said don't use XMLHTTP in ASP as it is not thread safe (is that why it is freezing up??), and suggest to use MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0.
so do anyone know if MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0 will help? i.e. not freezing up the page?
when we get info from an url with xmlhtttp or xml server http how it behaves. how bandwith it uses or how it adjust the bandwith which it use... how can it use all the bandwith.. any promramme or any windows adjusment ...are there possible solutions.. for example how the flash get use all the bandwith when we separate from the whole part a file to lots of part
I have a question regarding async mode for calling Microsoft.XMLHTTP object.
Microsoft.XMLHTTP hangs the IE once in a while suddenly, but it will work again after half an hour or so without doing anything. I have searched through the Internet and seems like the reason it hangs the browser it's because XMLHTTP limits you to two concurrent HTTP connections to each remote host; so if more than 2 concurrent connections strike the script which is calling XMLHTTP, it will hang. Is that true?
If that the case, can I change async mode to true (async=true) so that it will only take one connection at a time, meanwhile other concurrent connections will loop and wait till XMLHTTP is ready to process data again. Will that work?
I have a machine running W2K Server with the .NET Framework 1.1.
Yesterday, I was able to browse through my .NET web pages OK.
Then, I installed Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Studio .NET 2003.
Now, when my .NET web pages attempt to perform an XMLHTTP.Send(), I get a status of 500 (i.e. "Server Error). Calling the XMLHTTP.statusText(), I get a response string of "Server Error".
I have checked my IE settings and they have not been changed.
Does anyone have a clue as to why XMLHTTP quit working after I did the installs yesterday
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.
