I've been searching the web for hours and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. What I want is to create a function to fetch a file (in this case a PDF) from another webhost to my own server.
In other words, I would like a little bit of code that grabs a PDF file from a http website and save it to my server, all automatically.
We are working on a real estate web site which lists real estate listings from different affiliated realtors.
Our client wants to have a system where it display real estate listings from affiliated realtors without having to enter listing information into our database.
Affiliated realtor will provide a link to xml file containing listings information and we have to fetch the data from it and display it into our web site. The xml file will be on some other server.
Is this possible?
I have been using PHP for along time but had to change to ASP, so I am new to ASP.
I was wondering how to fetch a page and take out all the junk you dont need. It was easy with php because you start fetching where ever you want and stop where ever you want So i was wondering if there is any code for ASP
In PHP it is easy to fetch a HTTP page using syntax like:
$http_data = file("http://somedomain.com/some_script.php?some_data=x");
after successful completion of this statement, the page data is available in the variable $http_data.
Could anyone please let me know if is similarly easy to fetch a page in ASP code. I would appreciate an example of the equivalent code.
I am not working in ASP but want users to be able to programmatically fetch pages from my site.
I came up with the new problem. I want to fetch all form values by using request.form("FormName") which is generated by javascript on runtime.
The attached zip code contains the working code of javascript creating dynamic form elements. So after generating a couple of textboxes when I click on the "Submit" button it should display all the values entered in the textboxes on the next page.
I need to display the contents of an external XML/RSS feed in an ASP page. I have found a couple of scripts that seem to do the trick at:
(URL address blocked: See forum rules)
(URL address blocked: See forum rules)/ow.asp?ASP_Based_RSS_Reader
(any good alternatives will be much welcome)
However, my problem is that the ASP page is part of an Intranet site, so it can only access the Internet (in order to fetch the RSS) via a proxy server.
Can somebody tell me how can I modify the above scripts (or any other that does the same) so the IP/port/login/password parameters can be passed along with the feed URL?

View Replies View RelatedThis question has to do with MS file search but it is happening only with
..asp pages, so I though someone programming with .asp pages has experienced
the same situation.
I'm trying to find .asp pages with a certain table name (i.e.
"renewalInfo" )
When I ran the search I get no results. I know that I have that string in a
couple of pages. My file system search engine is working fine with other
file types, like Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, etc.
I tried typing the string outside the <% %> tags and when I do the search I
get the file results, so it seems like if the search engine in my file
system was not searching inside the <%%> tags. Code:
I'm having a problem with the fact that I want to allow image files to be uploaded to a remote web server, as the hosting package the web site is on is IIS6 and has a default file upload size limit of 200kb. As it's a shared hosting package, the default limit cannot be changed for me unfortunately.
Anyway - i need to check the size of the file being uploaded, so i can notify the user and prevent them getting the default Microsoft error message page. The problem is that I can't implement a server side size check which works, using either Request.TotalBytes or load.getFileSize (with "load" being an object of my loader class). It seems that I can't carry out any of these operations when the file size is too large.
I'm trying to run the server.execute command inside a executed file. It doesn't work. Can anybody tell me why? I've searched all around and haven't found a reason. Could it be because it's not supose to work, or is the syntax diferent then in the first file?
It's something like this:
File 1
...
<%Server.Execute("File2.asp")%>
...
File 2
...
<%Server.Execute("file3.asp")%>
...
File 3
<HTML>
<body>
Hello!
</body>
</HTML>
Is this possible?

I have an asp page written entirely in jscript with a vbscript used as an include file which one variable on the page must access.
When the page runs, I run into jscript complilation errors when it tries to access the include file (since it is written in vbscript), and I can't figure out how to get the two to work together. How do you get both scripting languages to work on the same page?
if i got a file path as a variable say for Example:

File Name=file.txt
I would like to add a facility to my web page which allows users to upload basic files (word, excel, text, gif, jpg etc) to the server.
I know there's a facility to do this using HMTL forms, but I don't know how to handle the file on the server side.
What I think I need is an ASP file running some code to manipulate the filesystemobject, allowing me to receive the file and store it in the filesystem on the server. It would be nice to access some of the file properties too (name, type etc).
I've seen a few custom components online which allow you to do this, but I can't depend on installing them. I need to be able to script it myself.

At my site I have designed a framework with tabs as below:

+ +-------------------------
then, into tabs_1.asp I include another page
(tabs_1_2.asp)
--------+ +--------------
| New | | Used | | Crasched |

Works fine so far... Here comes the problem...
The file tabs_1_2.asp has an included page (data.asp) witch doesnt appear...
When I look at the sourcecode from the webbrowser it seems to have been included but nothing is visible.
Is it inpossible to make several includes in the way I described?

View Replies View RelatedI use the following code in an asp.net page to download file from my site to the user:
Response.Buffer = True
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=""" & dsDocFile.Tables("tbl_DocFile").Rows.Find(FileID).Item("FileName") & """")
Response.Flush()
Response.WriteFile(sFileName)
This works with most every file type I've run across (jpg, gif, doc, ppt, xls, etc..). Normally when the user tries to access a file, a download window pops up asking the user whether he/she wants to open or save the file.
However, when the file is a zip file, the user just receives a blank screen instead of the usual download window. Has any one run into this problem? If yes, how did you resolve it?
How would I import a file thru an asp page and then validate the fields in
that file - the file would be comma separated file (CSV or Txt extension).
