Upload - Using a HexString property and Insert statement
POST, ASPForm - Work with original posted data.
Upload - Progress bar concept. Web browrser (IE/NN) does not accept response data when uploading. So there is one another way to show progress bar during upload - open a new client browser window with another server script on begginning of upload and access current uploading form from the second server script (task).
These two server upload tasks are join using ScriptUtils.ASPForm.UploadID property (in the uploading task) and ScriptUtils.ASPForm.getForm property (progress bar task). You can use ScriptUtils.ASPForm.NewUploadID property to get unique upload ID, or you can get this ID by any other way (for example, using rnd() function).

ByteArray - decode and encode from Base64
ByteArray - encode a file to a base64 string (Base64 file) You can simply encode a binary or text file to a Base64 string using this sample code. The base64 string can be stored to a file using SaveAs method.
ByteArray - Decode a Base64 string to a binary data.
Upload - cause read when source data exceeds a limit
Convert files from one code page / character set to another (ANSI to utf-8)
ASP Form - process standard x-www-form-urlencoded data with unicode code page and unlimitted size.

Accept application/x-www-form-urlencoded in unicode utf-8

      This sample demontrates accepting of a plain form (Form without ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data") by Huge-ASP file upload, ASPForm Object. Full source is in form-url-encode-utf-8.asp sample file.
      ASPForm object has some great functionality against of Request.Form: size limit for ASPForm object is 2GB. Request.Form(...) can accept maximum of 100kB.
       ASPForm acepts ANY code page. This page is written in utf-8. It lets you write and mix some special character sets and characters such are hebrew (ď»ż×§×‘×•×¦×•×Ş ×“×™×•×ź), arabic (ď»żŮ…Ř¬Ů…ŮŘąŘ§ŘŞ), east-european (ď»żĹľluĹĄouÄŤkĂ˝ kĹŻĹ), russian (ď»żĐšĐ°Ń€Ń‚Đ¸Đ˝ĐşĐ¸), japanese (ď»żă‚¤ăˇăĽă‚¸) or chinese (ď»żĺś–ç‰‡).
      You can have the characters NOT only in HTML page, you can use them in input fields, of course. ASPForm accepts application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/related data and contains automatic detection of type of a source form.

Upload - Check file contents to ensure the field is really an image      This function checks the uploaded file contents to ensure that the file is an image. You can check extension of the file or content-type. If the content-type begins with 'image/' or extension is in imageExts, the file is probably an image.
     But - someone can rename an .exe file and send the file as 'image'. So a second part of the check function tests file contents for usual characteristics of image files. You can use String or HexString property to get a part of contents of the file and compare it with image file characteristics.
     You can use this function to check other file types (compressed, executable, …) also.
These tables are from Richard Ogley's pages.

ByteArray - accept very large data in POST/PUT request, ASP, VBScript

You can use Post binary data to URL from WSH/ASP/VBA/VBS and Work with binary files in VBS - read and write local and remote files articles to read and send a binary file from a client-side.

Upload - handle other requests with higher priority
ByteArray - Punycode - unicode conversions Short functions to encode/decode string<->punycode data. You can use these functions as an Internationalized Domain Names VBScript converter.

punycode to unicode conversion

unicode string to punycode conversion

IDN string to unicode conversion

unicode string to IDN string conversion
See Live punycode idn decoder/encoder.
ByteArray - save unicode data (string) as utf-8 with BOM See also Batch file conversion - character set and BOM detection of html files to detect files with BOM (unicode Little/Big, utf-8)
ByteArray, T-SQL - base64 encoder for Microsoft SQL      This short sample lets you convert any string data to Base64 directly in SQL stored procedure (SP written in MS T-SQL). The data are passed as a string, you can do String-to-binary conversion with specified charset (the default charset is specified by system locale). The binary data are converted by get_Base64 property.
     See also ByteArray, T-SQL - base64 decoder for Microsoft SQL
ByteArray, T-SQL - base64 decoder for Microsoft SQL      This short sample lets you convert a Base64 string data to a decoded String or Binary data directly in SQL stored procedure (SP written in MS T-SQL). The data are passed as a Base64 string, then you can get the original data as a binary/image data type or converted to unicode string using specified charset/code page. The data are converted by put_Base64 property.
     See also ByteArray, T-SQL - base64 encoder for Microsoft SQL
Charset conversion of very large files - 2GB and more      This sample contains a block-by-block character set conversion algorithm for a very large files, you can use it for files with any size, this code work also with files over 2GB or 4GB. It takes maximum of 5*BlockSize of memory to convert the data (5MB of memory for the 1MB block).
     The SourceCharSet may be only a charset with a constant char size, one, two or four bytes (and the BlockSize must be an integral multiple of the character size). You can use single byte charsets as Windows-1250, windows-1251, Latin II, ibm850... for the source file, but not utf-8 (it has a variable size of char). You can use any destination charset, including utf-8
ASP - upload and store files to a network drive      You can store uploaded files also to a network disk or network resource. The main problem within this task are user rights. The default user account running ASP script (usually IUSR_COMPUTERNAME) has no access to network resources. One of the way is to connect to a network resource with another Username and Password (using AddConnection), store uploaded files and Disconnect from the resource (CancelConnection). This is a sample VBScript concept of the task. See upload-network.asp sample for full code.
Bytearray - test of Simplified Chinese, iso-ir-58
VBScript/ASP URLEncode function with charset (urlencode to utf-8 or other character encoding)
Batch charset conversion - convert all .txt files in a folder from ibm-850 unicode utf-8      This sample contains short algorithm to convert more files (all files in one folder) from one character set to another. The sample works for any code page (unicode utf-8 -> shift-jis, windows-1250 -> utf-8, ..) and shorter files, the files are converted in memory and there is no good idea to use it for files over 100MB. (See Charset conversion of very large files - 2GB and more).
Batch file conversion - character set and BOM detection of html files      This sample can do batch conversion of text files with different code pages - Unicode, utf-8, windows-1250 and others to one selected code page. The algorithm contains simple detection of source file code page using BOM.
     You can choose any destination charset. See also ByteArray - save unicode data (string) as utf-8 with BOM to save files with BOM (unicode Little/Big, utf-8)
ASP gigabyte download - download over 2GB, 4GB, very large/huge files.      ASP/VBScript source code to download of very large files using ASP. The download size is not limited by 2GB or 4GB of size, you can download files with any size, 10th of gigabytes or more.
     The sample uses Response.BinaryWrite. Remember that IIS6 has a strong memory leak, so this code does not work with Windows 2003 SP1, you need Windows 2003 SP2 at least. The code works also with other versions of IIS (IIS1-5, IIS7) See also
Experience high memory usage in the W3wp.exe process
Memory leaks may occur when the BinaryWrite method is called
Several browsers (IE, Firefox) or http clients (winhttp) has a download size limit of 2GB or 4GB. See http download over 2GB, 4GB - browser and server behavior
ByteArray - Store data with another charset (ibm850) to a database      This sample works with a text data column in a database with any character set. For example, if you work with utf-8 in ASP, but you need to store data as an ibm850 charset in a database. If you have next table:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[textTable] (
	[textColumn] [VARCHAR] (250) COLLATE SQL_AltDiction_CP850_CI_AI NULL 
) ON [PRIMARY]

but your ASP will work with utf-8, you need a binary conversion between utf-8 and ibm850.
