INTRODUCTION TO
ACTIVE SERVER PAGES ( ASP) :

ASP (Active Server Pages), is a window based technology

developed by Microsoft Corporation which enables developers to create
web pages that can be used with Web Browsers, after it is being executed
on a Microsoft (IIS) Internet Information Server on a Windows’ NT
computer, PWM (Personal Web Manager) on the computer. ASP is
dedicated to the creation of dynamic web pages.

An ASP page incorporates a variety of web technologies including

VBScript, JavaScript, Jscript and ADO (Active-X Data Objects). ASP
requires both a server and Web Browser. ASP makes database
transactions easier.

An ASP document can contain server side scripts – scripts that are
interpreted and executed by the server rather than the browser, which is
located on the client computer. One advantage of using the server as a
base for applications and scripts is that the user’s computer is free of
access programs and applets. Another benefit is that the server is often
more powerful computer than the client. Perhaps the most important
advantage is that ASP pages are run on the server, and after processing
these pages are completely HTML. As a result most browsers available
today will be able to display the entire content of the ASP pages. Even
browsers that do not support scripting can handle the ASP documents.

ASP documents can even include predefined objects that enable us to

transfer information between the browser and the server. It includes six
 6

built in objects that enable interaction between browser and the server.
The Request and Response objects handle requests and responses to
requests. The Server object enables us to create new objects, convert text
to HTML, and perform other common tasks. Application manages
information about the active application, and Session manages sessions,
the time when the applications are active. The ObjectContext object is
used with MTS. ASP also includes Active Server Pages Scripting Objects
(Dictionary, FileSystemObject and TextStream) in a library named
Microsoft Scripting Runtime.

ASP also supports Active Server Components, which are COM

components provided by Microsoft and other companies.

Electronic Commerce is an increasingly important component of the

Web. Because ASP supports the use of SQL queries, we can use ASP
pages to gather information using interactive input forms.

INTODUCTION TO
INTERNET INFORMATION SERVER (IIS):

Microsoft Internet Information Server is the Web server

integrated with Windows NT Server that makes it easy to publish
information and bring business applications to the Web.

Microsoft Internet Information Server4.0 complies with the HTTP

1.1 standard, including features such as PUT and DELETE, the ability to
customize HTTP error messages, and support for HTTP headers. Also,
with support for Virtual Host Headers, you can run many Web sites on a
single computer running Windows NT Server. This is critical for most
Internet Service Providers, and useful for corporate intranets that want to
host multiple intranet sites on the same server..

The Internet service Manager is the IIS’s user-friendly interface.

With the Internet Information Manager, we can control IIS completely.
Using it we can stop or pause the server and start it again. We can also
view statistics, including the number of visitors and requests, the number
of bytes transferred and the number of active connections to your site. It
contains two wizards: one for automating creation of home page and
another for publishing Web pages.
