asp_databases thread: Reading a binary file


Message #1 by "Chirag Shah" <chiragiit@y...> on Thu, 28 Feb 2002 20:59:26
I have PDF files in a directory that do not havs read permission. Is there 

any way I can read this pdf files and stream it out..

I have tried these options

(1)Using ASP Upload componenet upload.sendBinary() but Server 

administrator has disabled sendBinary() method of ASP upload



(2) using ADO Stream Object 

   Dim objStream : Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")

   

 'Open a PDF file

 objStream.Type = 1

 objStream.Open 

 objStream.LoadFromFile "D:\webs\eas110\webroot\data\pdffiles" &   

Request.QueryString("filename")   

   

 'Output the contents of the stream object

 Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"

 Response.BinaryWrite objStream.Read

   

 'Clean up....

 objStream.Close : Set objStream = Nothing 



This gives an error files could not be opened.



Any help on this ..?
