Cookies Scope
I have problem regarding cookies collection in response object. the senario is. I have created a cookie on signin page using:
Response.Cookies("username") = "userid"
If i print the value of cookie on this page then it shows me the correct value.
when i print the value of this cookie in another page using response.write request.cookies("username")
It doesnt print any value.
I have checked for every security problem in my internet browser but havent got any result. i am using internet explorer 6.

I created a ADODB.Connection object in Session On_Start and tried to connect to the databse On_Start. It is giving errors. Can't have a connection opened only once in a whole applicatio like VB.
The Con variable is available for the whole session but the connection state is not available for the whole session. Do I need to open a connection everytime I want to access a database????

Basically, I have an asp application that uses a database connection,
and I want to declare (create) that connection in an include and use it
throughout the application in various functions. I've tried making the
connection object a public variable, a constant, making the functions
public, passing the connection object in byRef, byVal, etc... I just
can't get it to work. Is this not possible in classic ASP? Code:

I am making a testing project to get my hands on ASP classic. I have a question about Global Scope Variables e.g in PHP we make a file where we define some values which are global, e.g site URL, site title etc, and then we can include that in any page to get that value.
I read Global.asa works very good in fact we dont need to include that in every page to use stuff within this file. I read some examples but they are mostly about functions in this file. Can anybody guide me please how to define variables in Global.asa to use them sitewise?

There are many web sites on the server - each has a virtual directory pointer to a common directory containing frequently used routines. Scripts run from the virtual directory appear to have no access to session (or application) variables. Is this expected behaviour? Or have I yet to track down a bug?

Does anyone know of a way to enumerate the local variable scope? The
reason I ask is that I have a function that dumps the contents of
response,request,server,etc... for debugging purposes. I'd like to also
display the local variables.

I have a piece of vbscript that returns the user logged on to the machine. it is as follows:
<script language="vbscript">
Set WshNetwork = createObject("WScript.Network")
stringUser = (WshNetwork.userName) 'store username in variable stringUser
document.write("Username: " & stringUser) 'output value to web page
</script>
Now I need to use the value of stringUser on other pages of my asp application for database queries, form values etc. I have tried to call stringUser from inside <%..........%>, but it doesn't recognize the variable. Everytime I try to output the value from wthin asp code, it just appears as blank space. Any ideas?

This has been puzzling me for very long time and no where has
talked about the scope of a 'On Error Resume Next' statement.
When we program ASP(.NET) pages then we usually like to let
ASP(.NET) stop at errors and report back to us. However there
are parts of our scripts that we know an error will be thrown
and we encapsulate that area inbetween:
On Error Resume Next
Err.Clear
'Try block
If Err.Number Then
'Catch block
End If
On Error GoTo 0
This is similar to the infamous try {} catch(e) {} blocks in
Java/C++, etc.
If we forget the last line 'On Error GoTo 0' then our ASP(.NET)
scripts runs over all errors thrown and we find it hard to
find bugs. So the big question is, does 'On Error Resume Next'
go out of scope when it's written inside a block
(eg. Function)?
Function Function1()
On Error Resume Next
'Our code
End Function
When the Function1 call returns, does the outside calling scope
automatically stays as it was (On Error GoTo 0)?

How can I give a user-defined object session scope? From
http://www.microsoft.com/windows200...asp/iiwaobu.htm
I gather that it can be done, but there are no examples. Simply setting
Set Session("tag") = new MyClass
doesn't work.

In my Session_OnStart in Global.asa, I am setting some cookies. One
of them, I set as follows:
dim UserID
UserID = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
Response.Cookies("User")("ID") = UCASE(UserID)
When I immediately log the cookie value retrieved from
Request.Cookies("User")("ID") into the Windows Event Log, I get the
correct value. However, when I try to retrieve the cookie on the home
page of my application using the same code,
Request.Cookies("User")("ID"), it either cannot find the cookie or
cannot read the value. I am retrieving the cookie before all HTML
headers are written. It is my first statement on the page after
Option Explicit. I have even compared the session IDs. The SessionID
created in the Session_OnStart is the same value as the SessionID on
the home page.
I have read that the Session_OnStart only has access to the
Application, Session and Request objects. It does not explicitly say
that it does not have access to the Response object. Also, I was even
able to use Response.Write's in Global.asa to print out the values
although it looked like it had also stopped the session after I did
so. Cookies are definitely enabled on my machine. I have even tried
setting the session cookie's expiration to be persistent for a few
days to see if it was perhaps expiring before I was able to read it
but this did not work either.
Is there something preventing cookies to be created in Global.asa in
the Session_OnStart sub? Is the Response object not available???
Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem or solution.

I am creating a user tracking app that tracks a user one of two ways...
1)First Method is cookies
2)Second Method MS SQL DB
I first check if the users browser accepts cookies if not I go to the db. If the user accepts cookies then I check for a specific crumb if it does not have the value I am looking for I kill it and rewrite it. This is working fine (im in the middle of testing it). The problem is I decieded to test the script with NN7 and not turn cookies off but block cookies from my site and all fell apart. The condition that I have set (detect if cookies are enabled) does not stop the script from trying to set a Session Variable because the browser accepts cookies and to keep a long story short it goes into an infinite loop because the script is looking for a Session value and Its not being stopped becaues the script thinks its alright to write cookies! Is there a way to detect if a user has your sites cookies blocked? This is important because Server.CreateObject("MSWC.BrowserType") will return .Cookies = True and you will not know that your script is not executing properly because a user has your sites cookies blocked but excepts them elsewhere...

I've built a website which requires a user to log-in to access the site. I have already built a page that enters their details into a db (register.asp), and another page where the user enters their email address (the log-in ID) to actually log-in (login.asp).
How can I use a cookie to automatically log a user in??
More specifically, what are the commands to set a cookie (upon successful registration) and access it (upon re-logging in)?

Hey i've spent the last few hours trying to work this problem out about cookies.
When a user logs in to the site the login.asp page checks the database to see the personal page that the user re directs to e.g if bob brown logged in he would be redirected to bob.brown.asp. This is stored in a field in the database table along with the username and password.
i would like to put a cookie onto the users computer that remembers the url they were redirected to so when they press the main page button it would look for the cookie and see what url they are meant to be redirected to and take them there
My current login system is this ....

I'm trying to load up a page through my asp page and get the cookie from that page so that I can use it later on when it needs to have it to access other parts of the site.
Basically the asp page is going to act like a browser and store the cookie from the other site, then send that cookie back when the asp page goes back to the other site again.
The problem is, I can only seem to access my own cookie. I didn't run into this problem when I was doing a similar thing inside my .cs scripts that were run by the server, as I suppose they were not coming from the actual domain that my page is running on (and thus, wasn't getting everything trampled by local cookies).
Is this possible, or should I just give up on it now?

im building a site for a few doctors surgeries. the user is able to see what appointments are available and then book that date/time. i have a table (in my db) of dates/times and a checkbox to say whether the time has been booked or not (and display only times that havnt been booked). i was going to have the user add the time to a "cart" and then check the "booked" checkbox in my db when theyve paid for that appointment. but if i have lots of people looking at the site at the same time, then they may be able to see times that are just about to be booked. i think a better way is to have the date/time stuffed into a cookie which expires after 5 minutes. so when a user adds a time to their "cart", it will say something like: "this time will expire in 5 minutes until you book it or re-add it to your cart". does that make sense?
how can i do this with server-cide cookies (im using jscript)? can anyone think of a better way to do this?

I need to set a cookie on a user after they have logged in. I want to
use just the user's login name , since that is a unique field.
If rsPersonIDCheck.EOF Then
Session("blnValidUser") = False
Else
Session("login") = rsPersonIDCheck("login")
but:
set Cookies("User") = Session("login")
seems not to be creating the cookie

I found that a number of my sites that send email using CDO failed withing the past 30 days. Consider the following. I know its not the best coding practice to open and close the connection so many times but Im curious why this would all of a sudden become an issue.
1. Have a few large sites essentially all variables such as SMTP server are set using cookies so I can deploy multiple sites quickly.
2. Within the site email appears to work correctly across all pages with 1 exception.
3. The exception is below, Im wondering if it has to do with cookies having to be retrieved multiple times from the client machine
--Call db run search loop data build array
--Based on data in array call another search alter and finalize array
--Do while <= uBound(myArray)
--Call Email sub (from,to,sub,body) ' Sub contains a request cookies for SMTP server.
--Loop
Doesnt matter if its 2 or 50 emails always fails when using request.cookies to set the SMTP in the sub. Works fine if I hard code the IP. This same sub is used multiple times throughout the website and works fine with cookies.
Just curious why it needs might need to be hard coded in the loop. Has been running for about 6 months fine and have recently started noticing failures.

I started using the following code, although, I have a feeling it is not working. Also, do I have to place the same code on all accessed pages? Code:
<%
Response.Cookies("ExpCookie") = "Expiration"
Response.Cookies("ExpCookie").Expires = DateAdd("d", 1, Now())
Response.Cookies("ExpCookie").Secure = True
Response.Cookies("LastVisit") = Date & " " & Time
%>
I am new at all of this, I can understand that this cookie will expire an hour after being access on a given day (is that right?), and it will create the cookie with the printed date and time of access. how can I make sure cookie expire on time.

I find such information?
