how can i (if at all possible) use post with response method? before i always did something like this to pass variables to the nest page:
Response.Redirect "main.asp?per=" & per
this obviously creates a querystring and that i am trying to avoid... so, if anyone knows how to do this please pass it on.
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
I have a form that ignores my form validation code. My code works if I use the post method of <%=Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")%>.
But, If I post the form to another .asp page, which I prefer, the code doesn't work. Do anyone have any suggestions? Here's my code.

I have a demo.asp page, that can't pass hidden value "mr progrramer" to
itself using POST method. Only "mr" is passed.
I created a second asp file demo1.asp and passed "mr programmer" and whole
string (include space b/w mr and programmer was passed successfully).
The code for demo.asp is:
<%
name = request.Form("name")
response.Write "hello " & request.Form("name")
' if name is empty then store some string with space in it
' problem is the word before space 'mr' is passed, but 'programer' is not
passed
if len(name)=0 then
name = "mr programmer"
end if

I have a .asp page that uses the post method and it works fine on my computer using iis. But when i put it on the web server (it has windows NT4) it wont work.
I've read that you have to do something to allow the post method on the server.
i know nothing about windows NT4 but can get access to the server. can someone please let me know what i have to do to get this to work?
Just to let you know the post method is for ssending a login and pass to another page that search a database for the record. If there is another way to do this that does not show the variables in the url please let me know. i am also willing to make it so that everything is on the same page so i dont have to pass anything.
Is there a limit to how many variables you can pass on using post method?

View Replies View RelatedI hv an asp page that allows the users to enter two dates, when they click a button i have another asp page that is opens word and shows the results in a table.
in order to get the criteria i think i need to use the post method for the page that opense word. however i ahve done a search and can not see anything that properly explains this method.
I'm having trouble reading data that i send to the server using ajax. The call am making in the client-side javascript is:
fullProject.open("POST", url, false);
fullProject.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
fullProject.send('var1=' + projectData);
and I want to know how to grab that data using asp. The call that I've
been manipulating is
<%
response.write "data: " & request("var1")
%>
That hasn't been working, and all I've been receiving back is the string "data: ".
I'm trying to sent information from a form to the server using the post method. The problem I'm having is that I have a file form field and it reqiures enctype="multipart/form-data". With this enctype, the data from the text fields doesn't get passed to the server. Is there a way around this?

sending a variable in this way: temp.asp?num= <% = Var %> creates an error , although i can see in the url that the value is added (e.g temp.asp?num=3) is it because the method is post? what should i do so the variable will come throgh with no error!?

View Replies View RelatedI'm trying to "post" a form in asp to a script off the main site.
I suppose I could do a response.redirect to the script, but am wondering if there is a more direct way to do it. Something like the XMLHttp obj in js.
I wanted to add this method to my .asp page in order to dynamically choose a
page based upon some selection criteria. It's in my .asp book and in the
online reference. Yet when I use this object, the following error returns
in the browser:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01B6)
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Response.Redirect'
/testwebs/choose.asp, line 22
What is missing from my IIS libraries in order to use have this method
supported?
I need to redirect to another web page, but that redirect will include the
submission of form data. So, unlike ServerXMLHTTP which stays on the
originating web page, I need the script to redirect to the page that I'm
submitting the POST data to (without pressing a submit button).
Any suggestions?
I'm doing a quiz in ASP, where info is passed from "quiz.asp" to "validate.asp" which checks the answers from a database and redirects back to the quiz page to show the wrong answers.
All that is working fine, but the problem is that I also need to redirect some other information related to the user, and I don't want to use GET and the querystring to show that.
Sessions were used in previous pages but were killed and replaced by variables before the user comes in the quiz page because I don't want the pages to be time-restricted (if the sessions expire).
The validate page uses response.redirect to move to the quiz page. So I can't use a form there.
Is there any way I could hide the information passed using POST, and if not what is a safe way to get around this.
Is there another way to post data to my provider's server apart from the response.redirect and XMLHTTP?
I have tried both, problem with response.redirect is taht the user coudl easily tell who my provider is, and XMLHTTP I cant get to read from the other server the request.querystring status.
A coworker is creating a form. The user fills in some numerical data. We would like to present them with a Calculate button that they can use to submit their numbers and be presented with the same information but also with the totals at the bottom. BTW, we cannot use JavaScript so it must all be done using server-side ASP.
That part is fine but we also want to provide them with a Submit button in addition to the calculate button. Now, I realize that if both buttons are contained within the same <form> tag, there can be only one action URL.
We toyed with the idea that if name=calculate, display the original form with the fields filled in and the calculations done and if name=submit, redirect to the thank you page but given that the method is post, then the redirect would not transfer the post data. If the method was get, then the redirect could include the query string data in the URL but that is not the case.
I need some help/pointers here. I maintain an ASP/MSSQL e-commerce site.
I need to force the use of HTTPS for private/payment data and force back HTTP on other pages. Some googling taught me the use of checking Request.ServerVariables("HTTPS"). Though GET data/QueryStrings are passed all my POST data is lost because of the REdirect. Code:
My form has mixed fields in it, one of them is a file field for picture upload when i submit my form via method="GET" i can retrieve my form data with Request.QueryString() method but as then I loose my file, but as soon as I switch to method="POST" and use Request.Form() method i get nothing unless I remove enctype="MULTIPART/FORM-DATA" at which point I loose mi file also... What is causing this? is there a different enctype i need to be using?

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?
I am trying to use the following in an ASP page to redirect a user to a
non-anonymous FTP site:
response.redirect("ftp://myusername:mypassword@ftp.mysite.com")
but I keep getting a "permission denied" error. If I just put the same
address string in IE6's Address box and go to it, IE opens myusername's FTP
home page just fine, so I know the FTP site is working as expected. Also,
if I put in an anonymous ftp site, without the username and password (e.g.
"ftp://ftp.microsoft.com"), the redirect works fine, too.
I don't want the user to be prompted by IE for the username and password at
the FTP site, so I am providing them from within the web site.
What can be preventing the response.redirect from handling non-anonymous FTP
access? Is there a better way to do this?

I have downloaded the DiscIDCalc program from CDDB. I've used it a lot because I've written my own application for my CD collections (keeping track of the track information of each CD, track duration etc). I've already got all my CDs into the application, I'm now just going through each of the disc again just to add in the DiscID information. I do it by running the DiscIDCalc program, generating the DiscID, and then then copying and pasting this DiscID into my application and then save it.
if anyone has successfully generated the DiscID within an asp page?
Now I have to have my browser up and this DiscIDCalc program up. Just want to know if there's a way to incorporate the two together (even if it means I'm not using the DiscIDCalc anymore.). This DiscIDCalc has a documentation for its DiscIDCalcDLL.dll but it's not something that I can CreateObject with, so I'm quite clueless... I don't want to use VB to write APIs for that
I use query string to search for records by using GET method. This method will generate querystring automatically by using the form name. Using search field together with drop down is fine but the problem is when i didn't enter any keyword or left the search field blank it won't display any result.
Unless I put "%" in the search field. How do I make the querystring change to "%" whenever the field is blank so that all records will be displayed.
