Opening ASP page causes file download dialog instead

[Neil Rossi]

I have an issue with a particular ASP page on two web servers. Let's
call these servers Dev1 and Beta1. Both Servers are running IIS 5,
Windows 2000 SP4 with "almost" all of the latest patches.

On Beta1, I am able to execute a particular page with no problem, that
page opens up in the comes up just fine.

On Win2kdev1, when I go to execute the same page, it opens a file
download dialog and asks me whether I want to open or save the "file".
Other ASP pages in the same directory display correctly. As far as I
can tell, there is nothing obviously different between these working
pages and the ASP page which causes the download dialog to open. The
filetypes are all .ASP.

I have verified that the app mappings (in IIS Manager,
Directory/Configuration/App Mappings) are correctly set to point to
asp.dll. I have removed and reset the app mapping just in case, but
still get the same error. The problem can arise on a different page
by doing something as trivial as changing some text and saving the
page.

I have compared file permissions on the file on both servers and they
are exactly the same. I thought something was wrong with the page on
Win2kDev1, so I copied over the page from Beta1. Same problem. I
have checked the IIS logs, and I do not see any errors in the
ex060120.log (for the last date that I tested this).

Does anyone have any ideas for anything I can look at to try to figure
out this issue? TIA.

Re: Opening ASP page causes file download dialog instead

For the page that causes the file download dialog, use WFetch to make the
same request and post the raw response.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9bfa49bc-376b-4a54-95aa-73c9156706e7&displaylang=en

If it happens on random pages and not specific pages, then I would not look
at Application Mapping (which would be consistent) nor the script in the
page (which would be consistent unless the problem is server-specific).

Also, can you report the Global and Site ISAPI Filters installed on both
machines.

My suspicion right now is that some ISAPI Filter is mistakenly adding
certain response headers to ASP pages such that the browser asks to download
the page instead of displaying it.

Re: Opening ASP page causes file download dialog instead

Thanks for your response, David. There are, as far as I can see, no
ISAPI filters defined within INetMgr, either for this specific website
or at the Default website level.

Just for the heck of it, I logged in to the remote server and ran the
app throwing the error using localhost. Now I see that the page
showing the download dialog on a remote client, is actually displaying
a "500 Internal Server Error" when logged in to the IIS server.

Here's the log output from WFetch run on the server Win2kDev1. I am
trying to load the page final.asp, so this error page doesn't seem to
give me much info.

Re: Opening ASP page causes file download dialog instead

/onlineservices/grantapp/final.asp is being treated as a static file and
downloaded verbatim (<% %> is still there) instead of as a dynamic ASP file
that is executed to generate a HTML response.

Assuming no ISAPI Filter, this means either:
1. .asp does not exist as an Application Mapping for this URL resource
2. Execute permission is "None" for this URL resource

Re: Opening ASP page causes file download dialog instead

Thank you, David. I just checked, and Execute permissions for the
default web site as well as Online Services (the misbehaving site)
virtual directory is set to Scripts Only.

..asp is an application mapping for both the Default Web site as well
as Online Services. I just checked Beta1 and it was configured
exactly the same as on the Win2kDev1 server. I am running out of
things to check. It is as if the application mapping was being
ignored for _specific_ files within the site. Am I correct in
assuming that the mapping is determined only by the file extension
(.asp) and not the content of the file?

Re: Opening ASP page causes file download dialog instead

Here's the solution. It required a paid support call to MS, but maybe
this will save somebody else some aggravation.

There were actually two problems. First, the custom error defined for
error 500;100 (internal server error; ASP error) in
C:\WINNT\help\i isHelp\common seems to have become corrupted. It was
not being recognized as a valid HTML or ASP page, and so prompted a
download dialog on the client (it displayed the source text if it was
run on Win2kDev1 under localhost).

*That* error was being caused by an out-of-date ASP include file which
was loading a dictionary object of loan types. We never saw that
error because it was being masked by the corrupted custom error page,
which displayed as a text file. The MS support person suggested
working around the bad error page by clicking “Set to default” in
InetMgr when you highlight the 500;100 error page. Once that was
done, the bad include file was immediately apparent and was a simple
fix.

But we still wasted several man-days trying to track it down! All
errors are simple once you figure them out.
