Hi,
I have a problem posting non-ASCII characters in FORM fields between classic
ASP and ASP.NET. I use a fully patched Windows 2000 Advanced Server with .net
2.0 and visual Studio 2005 installed, IIS, IE6 etc ...
When an *.ASPX page receives the post, it drops non-ASCII characters, for
example it drops character é from word Montréal. Specifying explicit encoding
on ASP/ASPX page doesn't help. The encoding works without doing anything
special when posting same text from an ASPX to another ASPX page.
Here are two simple ASP and ASPX pages to reproduce the problem, located on
IIS in same folder:
-------------------------------------------------
test_asp.asp (just post something to ASPX)
-------------------------------------------------
<html><head><title>Classic ASP page</title></head><body>
Posting this: Montréal<br>
<form method="post" action="test_aspx.aspx">
<input name="test" value="Montréal" type="text"/>
<input type="submit" value="Post to ASPX">
</form>
</body></html>
------------------------------------------------------------
test_aspx.aspx (display what was received from ASP)
------------------------------------------------------------
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<html><body>
Expecting: Montréal<br>
<form method="post">
Received: <input name="test" value="<%=Request.Form("test")%>"/><br>
<input type="submit" value="Post to ASPX">
</form>
</body></html>
POST Montréal from ASP to ASPX => doesn't work (drops é character)
POST Montréal from HTML to ASPX => doesn't work
POST Montréal from/between ASP/HTML to anything else => OK
POST Montréal from ASPX to ASPX => OK
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Peter
