2nd pair of eyes on a Post - 12/18/2006 6:43:14

Hello all
I have an application that works in test mode. Basically it loads data from one form (text Area element) onto the new form using the Post method, it works fine. But when I load more complex data into the Text Area and try, I get the error shown below,

Request object error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005'
Operation not Allowed
/cmsbb/frontpages/test.asp, line 3

This error occurs on the receiving form!!

Sending form

   <form method="post" action="test.asp">
<font color="#666666">This is the Raw HTML any changes made here will carry through and be seen in the editor<br>
</font> 
<textarea rows="7" name="ScratchPad" cols="11"><%=theFullPage%></textarea>
<textarea rows="7" name="ScratchPad0" cols="10"><%=PagePolitics%></textarea>
<textarea rows="7" name="ScratchPad1" cols="14"><%=PageState%></textarea>
<textarea rows="7" name="ScratchPad3" cols="10"><%=PageBusiness%></textarea><br>
<textarea rows="7" name="ScratchPad4" cols="10"><%=PageSports%></textarea>
<textarea rows="7" name="ScratchPad2" cols="10"><%=PageNational%></textarea>
<textarea rows="7" name="ScratchPad5" cols="12"><%=PageCulture%></textarea>
<textarea rows="7" name="ScratchPad6" cols="14"><%=PageTechnology%></textarea><br>
<p><input type="submit" value="    Edit FrontPage    "></p>
</form>

receiving form

  response.write (request.form("ScratchPad"))

Does anyone know of any kind of ascii data that would cause this kind of problem, The text area on the sending from displays perfectly, I can cut and past that data from teh text area and it is peerfect

Thanks for any help
Any heklp will be appreciated as this is fairly urgent

If you're copying and pasting make sure you stick it in Notepad first to take out any formatting. Other than that, I'd take it a step at a time and type characters in first, then try it with numbers, then try special chars. If it doesn't fail with any of those then you should be OK. If it does fail then try the special chars one by one till you find the culprit, then Google to see if ASP has a reported problem with it. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to helensnow)

It is an ASP file that loads perfectly, no errors, no obvious special characters. but I will try your method. I 'm just under a massive snow storm as they flipped a website to a new server and the code is broken, and they get 10000's of visitors a day :( been up all night, on this, gosh....sorry, Thanks for your help, I'll get to it helen _____________________________ Love is all, and all that we are is love (in reply to jaybee)

I thought that the GET command was limited by size and POST (which I am using was not) was not limited, any ideas, otherwise I will rewrite the function which I hate to do as it will take hours Thanks Helen _____________________________ Love is all, and all that we are is love (in reply to helensnow)

helensnow Posts: 228 Joined: 12/18/2003 Status: offline	RE: 2nd pair of eyes on a Post - 12/18/2006 13:58:17 good question :) I am trying to do the final processing on 8 ASP web pages that my software creates before they are deployed to various places on a website - This is a content management system. SO at this point I have 8 datasets which I am performing various asp string operations on to shape the ASP pages and where it fails is when I transfer those 8 datasets(which are really arrays of data) to the final form for processing. The data sits in 8 HTML Text Area Elements to allow tweaking, then on form submit this data is sent to the final form where it is processed before being written out to the filing system. It fails when I send the data from the HTML Text Areas to the final form. Hope this makes sense, have not had much sleep _____________________________ Love is all, and all that we are is love (in reply to Spooky)

If you update two textareas (with more than 26k) does it fail? I cant say Ive struck it myself, but none of my applications work with that much data It may be there is a server restriction on the size that is allowed to post. AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed in the IIS metabase is the offending setting. _____________________________ If you arent part of the solution, then there is good money to be made prolonging the problem ��k� Database / DRW help Check out the Tutorials for Frontpage Databases Forum FAQ' s Developers Edition Spooky Login User Registration and Management tool Personalized Frontpage Hosting (in reply to helensnow)

helensnow Posts: 228 Joined: 12/18/2003 Status: offline	RE: 2nd pair of eyes on a Post - 12/23/2006 9:54:31 Thanks Spooky I managed to change the Metabase on IIS to allow larger data structures to be moved between pages. The default is around 20K and the recommended from some sites I saw was a Giga Byte, I wonder how many people get these errors such as th3 one I had Request object error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005' Operation not Allowed /cmsbb/frontpages/test.asp, line 3 That could be attributed to this kind of parameter, So I guess my question is are there any good websites that detail this information, clearly you do not want to go into the Metabase and mess around in there, else nothing will work Helen _____________________________ Love is all, and all that we are is love (in reply to helensnow)
