ASP, DOC, RTF, ADODB.Stream, ContentType, BinaryWrite, And ReplaceB()

It involves using ASP/VbScript and ADODB.Stream to read binary data from a *.DOC or *.RTF
file and then send it to the user with Response.ContentType and BinaryWrite.

Everything works fine until I try to Replace() certain strings in the *.RTF
file with my own data. I'm assuming Replace() is choking on the binary characters, or
incorrectly thinking 0x00 values are marking end of string. Code:

ADODB.Stream And BinaryWrite Problems.

I`m writing a little routine that captures the data from a form submit (ie a picture) and then at the back end the asp will saved it back out into a file on the server.

I can capture the file fine and display the binary data to the screen.. but now I`m trying to write the data back into a file on the server. After a bit of searching around on the net I found that most people where suggesting using the ADODB.Stream functions.

So this is what I've got but for some reason when I go to write the binary variable it complains. Code:

ADODB.Stream

We have an application, written in ASP, that uses the ADODB.Stream to be
able to open files and write byte arrays to the Response object. If one of
our administrators patches the web servers this application runs on in
Windows Update, I'm screwed, right? You've essentially just disabled this
COM object, for not only its evil purposes, but its useful ones?

Funny Results With ADODB.Stream

I am using the code below to ensure that a download will be sent to the user as a save/open dialog box and not open up in the browser. However I get one of a few different issues.

1. Sometimes the when you click save the box just dissapears and you never get to choose where to save it. And then don't get the file!

2. If you get past the first problem (seems to be unique to pdf's) and can select where you want to save the file, it then doens't actually download the file and the box just dissapears again!

3. If you get past both of these, documents are often corrupt!

Any idea what could be causing these? The server has MDAC 2.8 installed, and it works slightly better on our local testing server Win2k than it does on the live Win2k server! All very odd! Code:

Download With ADODB.Stream Object

I have an ASP page that downloads file with the ADODB.Stream object.
I've found that if the user click cancel in the "Save file as" window or
during the downloading, the download is no more available, the page hangs
over and and the session have to be closed. (In some cases you have to Cancel
more than one time the download process to rise up this error).

I've experienced this problem, as a user, with many major webmail services
too!

Using ADODB.stream To Get Results From A Url Query

I have an asp page that needs to display the string that is returned from a

As an example, if you enter http://mydomain.com/mycgi.cgi?98127398 in to a

I need to have my asp code query this url, get the resulting string, then
act upon it (basically use the answer to display a nice big tick or a big

ADODB.Stream Default Filename Wrong

I use the Stream method to serve certain file types to the user. If the
type is pdf, it opens in the browser fine. My problem is with those
that the browser doesn't have plug-ins such as ppt, word, etc. it
prompts to choose Open/Save/Cancel and defaults the filename to the ASP
page serving the content. ie. BinarySend.asp -> BinarySend.doc,
BinarySend.ppt.

If I use
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" &
sFileName then it defaults the filename to the name I specify but
always prompt a download instead of opening directly.

Is there another way to default the filename in situation like this?

Read Binary Record From Database With ADODB.Stream

Set rec = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Record")

'read [Picture] column.

And the 'rec' TypeName() is 'Byte()'

But I can't get it to ADODB.Stream. How Can I do? Or Can I read binary column to another way?

ADODB.Stream 'format Error: Not A Pdf Or Corrupt' Only On Large File

I use the code below to authorise the download of certain files.
Thus, instead of linking to the file in a wwwroot directory, I link to
this code with the filename as a parameter, and the script streams the
file if the user is authorised.

This has worked fine on PDFs, DOCs, XLS, etc. until today, and 18MB
file presents the error message 'format error: not a pdf or corrupt'.

Is there a file size limit, or a default that needs overridden? Any
thoughts? Code:

<% Response.ContentType

I have a page called createWordDoc.asp, that starts with the line <% Response.ContentType = "application/msword" %>.

What it does, is receicves information from a form on the previous page, formats everything using html, and saves it as a word document.

Everything is working ok, except when I open the word document, there should be a picture in amongst the text, but it isn't there.

Does anyone know about creating word docs from asp, or has anyone had simliar problems?

Response ContentType

<% dim songs
set songs = server.CreateObject("scripting.dictionary") set songs = session("cart") %>

This code works fine in IE but in mozilla/netscape, session object is lost and returns error. However, if i resmove the first line for contenttype, the code works fine in mozilla but i ned the first line as this code is part of playing a window media playlist

Response.ContentType

I had a asp file that generated asx files using

Response.ContentType = "video/x-ms-asf"

It was working fine up until a day or so ago. Now all of a sudden it does not work. If I take out the Response.ContentType line and copy the source code to a asx file it works fine. if I copy the URLs out of the code and put them into the browser it plays. So it is generating the file correctly, it is opening Windows media player, but it then errors saying it cant fine the file. Yet copying the URL from the generated asx works fine.

Column Autofit In Xls Using ASP Contenttype

I am trying to create a report in xls format using ASP. I need to do some formatting to the report. To do this, I'm using xml. But, somehow, I cannot get the columns to autofit causing the report not to print in one page. What am I missing?

Here is the code

Response.Contenttype="application/vnd.ms-excel"

Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "attachment; filename="Report"

ASP Not Respecting Response.ContentType

I am trying to generate an RSS feed with ASP, however, IE will not
display the feed as an XML document, instead returning it as text.

I have <% Response.Buffer = true %> and <% Response.ContentType =
"text/xml" %> at the top of the page, but it does not make a
difference. Netscape/Mozilla recognizes the contenttype and displays
it as XML, and the feed is valid.

Response.ContentType Code

What would prevent Code:

Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"

from opening the page in excel assuming that excel IS on the clients machine?
The page has a couple included pages that contain ASP and JS, the page itself dynamically writes the table cells in html like so...Code:

strTable = RS.GetString(,,"</td><td>","</td></tr><tr><td>","&nbsp;")

BinaryWrite

help me regarding the 'Response.BinaryWrite' I am making one web application where I need to store some of client logo's and others images. In this context I am able to store images into .DB file and even able to display into browser to. But it seems to be 'Response.BinaryWrite' does not support 'html/text' hearder if you user 'BinaryWrite'? I had tried many way to do so but its does not write binary if pages content <html><body> tag's.

I could had done it by uploading images into disk, which is quite simple method and faster too<img src"images/<%=filename%>.jpg/gif"> by having unique file name. But I am not the person who is going to monitor it as user itself has a persmission through the web to have there image as they want to give file name etc. Also I can't have individual directory for each users as if tomorrow users grow then what I suppose to do?

Losing Records When Using Response.ContentType Msword.

I have a problem in that i have a page that works fine and shows all records/Output until i add Response.ContentType=msword

And then i only show every other record.

I probably should have coded the page differently. But for context - it's a school report system and i have setup a Subroutine which queries a database and builds a summary report for a girl. I wanted to print out a class list of these. I.e one for each girl in a class and so i loop around the results of one recordset and within each loop make a new query and create the report. This is probably not the best way to do it.

Anyhow, in the browser it woorks fine. As soon as i add the code to output it to word (or excel ) i lose evry other report.

Response.BinaryWrite

I have a problem when trying to do response.binarywrite for files > 64kb. I am reading a blob data from the database, this blob data contains files. To read from database ADODB.Recordset is used. I am using the following code to write on to the browser:

Response.ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.BinaryWrite rs.fields(blob field)

This works fine when the blob data is < 64 kb but when this limit exceeds then an error is thrown. how I can go about and read files > 64 kb ? Is there a maximum limit on the size of the file that can be used with response.binarywrite?

Displaying Img From Access Using BinaryWrite

Set rs = AMConn.execute(sql)
If not rs.eof Then
PicSize = rs("PartImage").ActualSize
if PicSize > 0 then
Response.BinaryWrite
rs("PartImage").GetChunk(rs("PartImage").ActualSize)
end if
End If
set rs = nothing

All i get on the page is the image not found icon with the red cross in IE.
What could possibly be going on?

BinaryWrite, IE And Adobe Reader 6.0

I'm having some problems with the Reponse.BinaryWrite, IE 6.0 and Adobe Reader 6.0. When I try to write a pdf-file to an IE browser with a Adobe Reader 6.0 installed then it just displays a blank page and the earth on the top rigth corner keeps turning like it haven't read the pdf-file (for 10+ minutes on a lan).

If I change the settings on the Adobe Reader 6.0 to not open in a browser, then it works fine. If I use Mozilla 1.4 then it opens fine as well.It works fine as well with Adobe Reader 5.1. The code looks like this:

[Some code that places the pdf-file in a byte array called vntStream]
Response.Clear
Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf"
Response.BinaryWrite = vntStream
Response.end

I have tried to place a Response.Flush after the BinaryWrite, but it just makes the Adobe plug-in say something like "document corupted".

Response.BinaryWrite For One JPEG Is Very Slow

problem is that in IE, one particular JPEG is loading very slow. Normal
JPEG's take a few seconds, but this one sometimes takes up to 30 seconds.
THe weird thing is that if I refresh really quick, the JPEG appears for quick
second, and then the new Response.BinaryWrite kicks in. So, it looks like
the browser has the image, but for some reason it is not finishing loading it
into the browser. Code:
