Can this be done in ASP?

Phil@Onyx · February 2nd, 2005, 06:34 AM

Hi everyone

Am currently working through a website built in ASP

This is what i want to do.

As i am able to send a page request to a server which returns a page to be viewed, i want to take that page it returns(download it), open it internally, set it to a variable, then use a replace command to remove the header and footer of the url and then use the main body as display on the website. Thus just using the body text on my websites branding

Therefore i want to

Request page (Done)
open source (URL)
set as text variable
replace known code (header and footer)
display as body text

Am not to familiar with ASP

Can any1 help

and can it be done!

Nice and easy in php but server doesnt support it, it only does ASP

U have to made ActiveX DLL for that,
as u made HTTP request with the help of Winsoket,
which return the html code of requested page, u can use this html code according to ur requirement.

U have to explore a bit the http request thru win soket.

Hope this will help u.

Ok

am looking into that think that may help!

Just so i get this straight and to make sure where on the same page

am not using Winsoket

All that i mean my url request is that i want to download a certain url defined by the telephone number!

example

http://www.adslchecker.bt.com/pls/adsl/ADSLChecker.TelephoneNumberOutput?URL=www.onyx.net %2Fbroadband.asp&SP_NAME=a%2520Onyx%2520Internet&T elNo=01915292248&VERSION=7&MS=S&CAP=Y&AEA=Y

the red text is the only part that ever changes

which i can code for!

so you input number -> new page downloads url(html) using added tel

does this shine different light?

Cheers for the speedy reply

You may use XML HTTP object for this. This is built in windows 2000. If it is not there, you can download and install latest XML parser from MS and run on server.

Here are some sample scripts using this component.

On error resume next
Dim obj_xml_http
Dim str_html
Set obj_xml_http = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.SERVERXMLHTTP")
obj_xml_http.Open "POST", "http://www.yoursite.com",False
obj_xml_http.Send
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    Response.Write("Your web site does not appear to be up right now. Please try again later.")
    Err.Clear
Else
    str_html = obj_xml_http.ResponseText
    ' do whatever replacements you want
    Response.Write str_html
End if

yep, the XML HTTP way is how to go about it. Just one thing I like to add, that scheme of yours doesn't look legal.

Just like madhukp suggest (made some small changes):

Code:

dblTelNo = 01915292248
On error resume next
Dim obj_xml_http
Dim str_html, strURL
strURL = "http://www.adslchecker.bt.com/pls/adsl/ADSLChecker.TelephoneNumberOutput" _
         "?URL=www.onyx.net%2Fbroadband.asp&SP_NAME=a%2520Onyx%2520Internet&" _
         "TelNo=" & dblTelNo & "&VERSION=7&MS=S&CAP=Y&AEA=Y"
Set obj_xml_http = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.SERVERXMLHTTP")
obj_xml_http.Open "POST", strURL, False
obj_xml_http.Send
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    Response.Write("Your web site does not appear to be up right now. Please try again later.")
    Err.Clear
Else
    str_html = obj_xml_http.ResponseText
    ' do whatever replacements you want
    Response.Write str_html
End if
