Python and ASP - foo.asp (0/1)

[Eugene Goodrich]

Here's a simple ASP page in Python that dumps the contents of some
collections in the Request object.

'>>>
<%@ LANGUAGE = Python %>

<%
def HTMLTableFromCollection (oCollection, sCollectionName):
	sHTML = '<table border>\n<tr><th
colspan=2>%s</th></tr>\n%s</table>\n'
	sRowPat = '<tr><td>%s</td><td>%s</td></tr>\n'
	sBody = ''
	for sKey in oCollection:
		sBody = sBody + sRowPat % (sKey, oCollection (sKey))
	return sHTML % (sCollectionName, sBody)
%>

<%= HTMLTableFromCollection (Request.ServerVariables,
'Request.ServerVariables') %>
<%= HTMLTableFromCollection (Request.ClientCertificate,
'Request.ClientCertificate') %>
<%= HTMLTableFromCollection (Request.Cookies, 'Request.Cookies') %>
<%= HTMLTableFromCollection (Request.QueryString,
'Request.QueryString') %>

The ASP object model is, in my mind, just the "5 magic (COM) objects"
always available to the script.  They are used in Python ASP pages
just like in VBScript ASP pages, with a few exceptions, such as the
need for exact Capitalization in some instances and a Python-side bug
that makes setting certain values in the objects more difficult.  (One
cannot simply say "Session ('foo') = 5".  One must instead say
"Session.SetValue ('foo', 5)".  And Response.Cookies is still
resisting :(.... )
