Sure! Here’s a quick but thorough explanation of the Request object in Classic ASP:

ASP Request Object

The Request object is used to retrieve information sent by the client (browser) to the server. This includes form data, query string parameters, cookies, and server variables.

1. Request.Form

• Retrieves values sent via an HTML form using POST method.

Dim usernameusername = Request.Form("username")Response.Write "Hello, " & Server.HTMLEncode(username)

2. Request.QueryString

• Retrieves values sent via the URL query string (GET method).

URL example: page.asp?id=10&name=John

Dim id, nameid = Request.QueryString("id")name = Request.QueryString("name")Response.Write "ID: " & id & ", Name: " & Server.HTMLEncode(name)

3. Request.Cookies

• Access cookies sent by the client.

Dim userPrefuserPref = Request.Cookies("UserPreference")Response.Write "User Preference: " & Server.HTMLEncode(userPref)

4. Request.ServerVariables

• Provides information about the server environment, HTTP headers, etc.

Examples:

Response.Write "User Agent: " & Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT") & "<br>"Response.Write "Remote IP: " & Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR") & "<br>"Response.Write "Script Name: " & Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") & "<br>"

5. Checking If a Parameter Exists

If Request.QueryString("id") <> "" Then    Response.Write "ID is " & Request.QueryString("id")Else    Response.Write "ID parameter missing."End If

6. Request.TotalBytes

• Returns total size in bytes of the request data (rarely used).

Summary Table

If you want, I can provide:

• Examples handling form submissions with validation

• Working with arrays if multiple inputs share the same name

• Handling file uploads (using components)

• Anything else about Request or related ASP concepts!

Just ask!
