Display Non-XML Data (PDF) Using ASP

  • 1.  Display Non-XML Data (PDF) Using ASP

    Posted Fri July 12, 2002 12:53 AM

    I have some PDF files in Tamino that I want to display to the user, but I don’t want to give the users a direct link to my database. Is there a way I can do this with ASP? I tried the following but it didn’t work.

    <%
    with response
    .ContentType = “application/pdf”
    .BinaryWrite(“http://localhost/tamino/rptdatabase/rptcollection/pdf/heather.pdf” )
    .End
    end with
    %>
    - nor did -

    <%
    with response
    .ContentType = “application/pdf”
    .write(http://localhost/tamino/reportsonline/ExposureReports/PDFExposureReports/heather.pdf)
    .End
    end with
    %>

    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Heather

    Just in case anyone else ever needs this, here is one way to display the non-XML files.

    <%
    dim wrapper

    set wrapper = CreateObject(“Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0”)

    wrapper.open “GET”, “http://localhost/tamino/database/collection/schema/heather.pdf",false,“myusername”,"mypassword”

    wrapper.send
    Response.ContentType = “application/pdf”
    Response.BinaryWrite wrapper.responseBody
    set wrapper = nothing
    %>
