inetserver asp general : HTTP 1.1/400 Bad Request
application that is 20 different ASP pages that works in sequential order (step1, step2, step3...). After each step the app writes the entered text to a cookie. This feature is so that if there is a problem, we can still retrieve the data. This Bad Request error has something to do with the cookie that is written to, because I can go all the way through the app to the last step (step20) and then it gives me a Bad Request. If I clear my cookies then it works fine, until step 20 again. Does anyone know what may be going on here? I am guessing that it has to do with the size of the cookie, but I am unsure how I can accomplish this task (allowing the entered data to be retrieved) without cookies. Thanks, Drew
How much data is being put in the cookies? I have heard of browser limits on
the size but not server-side limits. Could you use hidden form fields instead? -- --Mark Schupp [quoted text, click to view] "Drew" <drew.laing@NOswvtc.dmhmrsas.virginia.SPMgov> wrote in message news:uTISrs1SFHA.3184@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... >I have been trying to figure out why I am getting this message...

Does the data have to persist past the last step (page 20)?
If not, have each page include the data from the previous pages in hidden form fields. If so, a server-side database would be an option (just keep the user id in the cookie). Server-side script cannot write files to the client's system. You could use a component on the client-side to do so but that would require the user to grant permission. -- --Mark Schupp [quoted text, click to view] "Drew" <drew.laing@NOswvtc.dmhmrsas.virginia.SPMgov> wrote in message news:eoEC7a2SFHA.1148@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... > The cookie I have on my computer (same error for me) is 13.2KB... > > There is a great deal of data going in there...

The cookie I have on my computer (same error for me) is 13.2KB...
There is a great deal of data going in there... What about using the FSO to write to a file? Does FSO have the ability to write to a file on the client computer?

Yeah, I understand your suggestions... Thanks for your help, I am just going
to abandon the feature and forget about it!

I am actually inserting this data into a SQL Server database, but I wanted
to implement a "safety net", in case someone has some problems, then we can cut and paste the data back into the app. My cookie code looks like this, Dim AllText If Request.Form("RelationshipsSocialization")<>"" Then AllText = Request.Form("RelationshipsSocialization") End If If Request.Form("Communications")<>"" Then AllText = AllText & Request.Form("Communications") End If Response.Cookies("ELPStep17")=AllText Response.Cookies("ELPStep17").Expires= Now() + 10 The code fires on the page after the step, i.e. step17's data is put into a cookie and inserted to the DB on step18.asp. Is it possible to create more than 1 cookie from a domain? My cookies now look like this, dlaing@swvtc06[2].txt Thanks, Drew [quoted text, click to view] "Mark Schupp" <notvalid@email.net> wrote in message news:%234oGcE3SFHA.3464@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... > Does the data have to persist past the last step (page 20)? > > If not, have each page include the data from the previous pages in hidden > form fields.

I'm not familiar enough with cookies to help you much (the only cookie we
use is the session cookie). Since you have a database available anyway why not keep the data in a table in the database? Then just keep a record identifier in the cookie. Your cookie retrieve/set code would turn into database select/update statements. Clear the temporary data when the final update is done. Have a cleanup job run occasionally to delete abandoned records. -- Mark Schupp [quoted text, click to view] "Drew" <drew.laing@NOswvtc.dmhmrsas.virginia.SPMgov> wrote in message news:eUbVD5%23SFHA.2756@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... > I am actually inserting this data into a SQL Server database, but I wanted > to implement a "safety net", in case someone has some problems, then we can > cut and paste the data back into the app. > > My cookie code looks like this, > > Dim AllText > > If Request.Form("RelationshipsSocialization")<>"" Then > AllText = Request.Form("RelationshipsSocialization") > End If > > If Request.Form("Communications")<>"" Then > AllText = AllText & Request.Form("Communications") > End If > > Response.Cookies("ELPStep17")=AllText > Response.Cookies("ELPStep17").Expires= Now() + 10 > > The code fires on the page after the step, i.e. step17's data is put into a > cookie and inserted to the DB on step18.asp. > > Is it possible to create more than 1 cookie from a domain?
