I have a few pages that require login to access. Assuming a user clicks a
link containing a variable trying to access a password protected page. That
user is redirected to the login page. After login, he's brought to a "logged
in" page. How do I retain the original link he clicked and instead of
redirecting to a logged in page, he's redirected to the page he originally
requested?
I have a password-protected area on my site. I'm not using any server authentication methods: Instead I prompt the user for a username and password using an HTML form and check these against a database of registered users.
I was thinking that this page should be returning a HTTP status code of "401 Unauthorized" instead of its current "200 OK". My reasoning being that this would let search engines know what's going on when they request a protected page and get redirected to the "Access Denied" page.
I experimented with adding response.status = "401 Unauthorized" to the "denied" page, but now it displays a (Windows/IE) username & password prompt instead. The HTTP sniffer shows that the www-authenticate field is set to "Basic".
My question: How can I indicate to the search engines that the page it is requesting requires authentication, yet have it not display the login/password dialog box?
One of the features on my site is to allow my customers to upload photos and text files. The script does not come with any instructions to allow the page to redirect to a Thank You page. How can I accomplish this?
The second question is how can I email the images or the text to my email after the images have been uploaded to a specific folder on the server? Code:
From my asp page, I insert a row into a database. Once the row is inserted, its value for the 'status' column of the table is automatically entered as 'in progress'. This table is then updated by another script (out of my control). This script changes the 'status' value to 'processed' once it has copied the row to another table. The script runs every 5-30 seconds I've been told. What I want to do is give the user a 'processing data' kind of message until the value of the 'status' column has changed to 'processed', for the data the user has entered. I'm not sure how to poll the database every so often to check for the 'processed' string. Then, once it has changed to 'processed', just give a message to the user.
i've used flash to set up a menu on a website, but have since lost the work in progress flash file, and my menu points to the wrong link on one of the buttons.
is there a way through asp i can redirect to the *right* link when this button is pressed. (i.e. instead of going to default.htm it will go to index.php)?if there is it seems a lot easier than having to recreate my flash file
I am trying to deal with session. In sites that I see, when my session timesout, I am usually taken to another page right away or taken to another page when I click on a link or something.
Now, I managed to get the timeout part, but my page is not being redirected anywhere even when I click on a link. I tried using Response.Redirect("timeout.asp") in Session_onEnd, but I don't think it is working.
I am having an issue with Mac IE users that come to an asp page on my site. The page does a response.redirect to a PDF page. the PDF is downloaded onto the desktop and saved as the name of the ASP page. The PDF is then displayed in a separate window.
If I maunally type the URL to the PDF then everything works like it should. The PDF is displayed inside the browser window and the downloaded file is the correct name. I would appreciate any insight into . how to fix this.

how to force users from a common asp page to the registration page. Example:
Joe blow goes to abc.asp and has a look around. He never registers because there is nothing saying he should register before browsing. I want to force joe blow to register before browsing some pages.
What would an If statement look like in that case? On what object do you perform the check?
I know how to use a redirect statement, I don't know how to perform a check for prior registration or login. I would imagine the check should be the first call of the page?
I am trying to do the similar to mod rewrite and use the custom 404 rewrite page to handle the table look up, so www.myweb.com/irish-tapestry-333.html will redirect to
www.myweb.com?id=333 for the detail pages. Will google see this forwarding in the 404 redirect page and ignore the links?Also, how can I make the URL of www.myweb.com/irish-tapestry-333.html appear in the users url window instead of the www.myweb.com?id=333
I've never used ASP before and I'm sure the answers are in here, so I'm expecting to have rotten tomatoes thrown at me... Sorry, this is the only ASP page I ever hope to write...
I have a page called intranet.asp All it needs to do is look at the remote_addr variable and depending on what it sees redirect to one of two places.
The logic is as follows, and if this were PHP or Cold Fusion, I would be able to do it.
IF (remote_addr == "192.168.xxx.xxx") { redirect to www.internal_address.com } else { redirect to www.external_address.com }
The xxx's in 192.168.xxx.xxx mean that it can be any address inside the 192.168 tree.
I have a ASP page that triggers a db-side stored procedure.At the end of the procedure, it spits out a log file, that this ASP page reads and displays for the users.
But the problem is that the database-stored Proc could take anything between 10 secs - to - 10 mins. I dont want the page to time out [But I dont want to increase the time out in the IIS webserver]. Is there a way, like the airlines websites do, where I can just show an animated gif while the procedure runs and redirect the page to results at the end of the procedure run.
ex: like orbitz or hotwire.... or anything like that, but not as complicated as them.
Is it possible to redirect a user to another web page using ASP code located in page body?
I have some ASP code that runs after generating some output to the browser.It checks for a condition that can only be calculated using the values produced in the output, so redirecting the user before the <html> tag isn't possible without running the code twice.so RESPONSE.REDIRECT "url" won't work.
<% 'Check if user is logged in if Session("name") = "" then 'If not, go to login page Response.Redirect("login.asp") else 'If, build page Response.Write("<title>ASP Page</title>")
end if %><body leftmargin="100" text="#004080" bgcolor="#EBEBEB"><p><font size="6">
I want users that have been logged on successfully to be redirected to a website address that I specify.
I need to make a redirect page in ASP using VBScript. It should display a message like "Redirecting, please wait . . ." & after some time it should redirect to any other page.
Example of this is in sitepoint itself. When you login in sitepoint it shows you a page for some time with message "Thanks for logging" & then redirects you to home page.
The users of my website can request to login from different pages. after login they are redirected ro index.asp but I want them to be redirected to original page where they came from
I tried to use
<% Dim backpage backpage = ServerVariable("HTTP_referrer") response.redirect(backpage) %>
I am having one asp page(i.e home page) which has two frames in it. Left frame contains menu and whichever option is clicked in it that corresponding page is shown in the right frame. In those pages i am checking for sessionid and if it is different from what is there in the table i want to show the login page.
The problem is that as i am using response.redirect in the pages shown in right frame to go to login page but then the login page is shown in just the right frame but i want to show the login page on the whole page.
Does anyone know of any ASP code that would redirect a page that has a small page width....such as a mobile phone, Blackberry, Sidekick, etc to another page designed for the width.
I have one with Java script but many of these devices don't handle Java too well.
I have one combo box and GO button on the click of GO button page submitted and according to selection of one of the option from combo I want to redirect my page to some new asp page but at the same time in new window of browser.
I could have achieved this using window.open() of javascript but then it will serve as pop up and clients requirement is that not to show as popup window due to many users blocked popups.
Any suggestions, How can I achieve this using response.redirect or any coding which is not serve as popup window.
I'm trying to build a tray for users to download their selected items. I was wondering if anyone knows how to response.redirect a file (for the user to download) and check to see if the download was successful/unsuccessful, then have the asp page reload itself based on the result?
e.g. something like this:
if Session("FileName") <> "" Then 'a file is ready for download
response.redirect (Session("FileName"))
** check if download successful, then set ** the tray info accordingly and...
response.redirect thispage.asp end if
Of course the second response.redirect never gets called, is there any other way I can do this?
I've got several pages with links. When the links are clicked, a value is posted to 'processing.asp' which does a database update then needs to redirect back to the page from which the link was clicked. Is it possible to obtain the full URL of the referring page using asp? I need it potentially to be able to redirect back to something as complex as:
products.asp?Category_Id=3&SubCategory_Id=12
If that was the URL of the page from which it was linked.
I want to have a series of links (flags for Italian, English, and German) on the top of every page, each of which when clicked will go to a script and change a session variable called language to the respective language. Once the session variable is changed, I want to send them right back to where they came from.
So, if they enter a page on the site that is optimized for "Local Area" and it is in English, IF they click German or Italian it will go to the script, redirect back to "Local Area" with the Session var being set appropriately.
Keep in mind though that I need to be conscientous of SEO, so I want to keep querystrings to a minimum. Ideally, what it would look like is this AFTER the redirect:
