How to 'INCLUDE' an ASP file?

[memento]

Hello,
How to include file into an ASP program? I was trying with this command:

<!-#include file="INC_file. asp" ->

but unfortunately it does not work :(

There isn't any error message. IIS server shows primary site, but without
informations from incuded file.

How can I make it works?

With the best Regards,
MEMENTO

:)

Use double dashes:

<!-- #include file="INC_file. asp" -->

And you can use include files also

<!-- #include virtual="header .inc" -->

The problem was with the lack of a double hyphen, not this. But for the
record, there is no advantage to using a .inc extension, and plenty of
disadvantages. The main one is security. A person who's up to no good can
figure out the name of the .inc file, and then download it and read the
text. With an asp extension, this cannot be done.

Believe it or not, I've actually seen an application which had the database
login info, including password, in an include file with a .inc extension.

Re: How to 'INCLUDE' an ASP file?

Is this true? Does include file be seen on the browser cache? How do you see
these files?

I've never seen them in a browser cache, but middletree is right. I
didn't recommend it, I was just saying it was an option.

Re: How to 'INCLUDE' an ASP file?

What middletree meant IMO is that if you take an improper name for an
include file such as "tools.txt" then someone trying this URL would get the
file... As ASP files are processed it offers quite a kind of protection (for
example a .asp include file that contains only functions and subs would just
produce an empty HTML page client side when served).

Re: How to 'INCLUDE' an ASP file?

You misunderstood his point. Server-side includes (SSI) will never show up
in a browser cache. Only client-side includes:
<script src="...">

What he is saying is, that if you use an easily-guessable name for your
include file, say: scriptlibrary.i nc somebody will be able to browse to it
by typing its address in the browser's address bar. Since the inc extension
is not mapped to be executable (by default, this is configurable), the text
in the page will be shown in the browser. Try it with your own inc file. By
changing the inc extension to asp, you prevent this: when the file is
browsed to, it is executed, not displayed.
