Server Variables

Webnotic · February 29th, 2004, 10:16 AM

I'm getting an error message that i have an "unterminated string constant" in my routing to retrieve servervariables from the Request object. I'm including the code as it is very brief. I'm doing this on my lattop running in XP professional with IIS installed. I am assuming that as a server also it includes the servervariable collection. Otherwise I can't see a thing that's incomplete or incorrect about it...here it is. Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Is this supposed to be an ASP or an ASP.NET page? If the former, you may want to use the ASP forums instead. This one is for ASP.NET.
If it is supposed to run as an ASP.NET page, you may need to change a few pieces here and there. Firstly, using Response.Write directly in the page is not really recommended. Secondly, the Response.Write statements need () around the param values.

In either case, there is not much wrong with this page. Are you sure this is all the code? Isn't there an include file causing the problem?

Cheers,

Imar

Your code works fine for me unaltered. The only things I can thinks of are
* do you have VBScript set as the default scripting language? If you have JScript set then you need to add the @language setting at the top of the page
* how are you calling the page? Obviously the web service must be running and, assuming the page is called test.asp and is installed in c:\inetpub\wwwroot (the default set up for IIS), the url will be http://localhost/test.asp
