global.asa fires after url parameters?

[WaterBug]

When clicking on the following link from an email i.e -
http://myserver/myapplication/myprog...2=more%20stuff
I get a server 500 error. With that same browser window open, if I click
the link from the email again I get the desired page. The results are the
same if the url is copied and pasted into the brower but the 'go' must be
pressed twice.

It appears that the server is trying to resolve the url vars before the
global.asa is fired. Does anyone know of the order of processing? Any
suggestions?

[Mark Schupp]

Works fine for me. Is there a global.asa file that is supposed to go along
with this?

The first time the URL listed above is requested the query_string is
returned as an empty string. Repaste the URL (cause the query_string gets
stripped) and the query_string is returned...k

Create a small page (or set of pages) that illustrates your problem. This
description is hard to follow.

By "returned", do you mean the

No, that does not happen to me. I'm using IE6 on a Win2000 machine. What are
you using?

The first paste of the URL
(http://127.0.0.1/MyApp/EvalPage.asp?
trainee=astrona ut&evaluator=ke lly&type=orbit)
into the Address line of the browser writes query_string as an empty string
(or query_string=) . When pasting the URL into the address line the second
time (thus requesting a second trip to the server) the browser writes
query_string= trainee=astrona ut&evaluator=ke lly&type=orbit

I have recreated a project in Visual Studio 2003 and everything works fine
when there is no global.asa. When I add a global.asa that does very little
or an empty global.asa then the page url variables are not recognized during
the first load. The behavior is again demonstrated that only during the
second load does the query_string get recognized. Can one of you add an
empty global.asa in your project to see if this 'breaks' it? Thanks...k

No problem here. What if you use Request.QuerySt ring ?

Try also with an emply global.asa (rather than with doing a minimal amount
for things we have no idea about).

Are you sure this is not a cache issue ?

Don't make us guess what you mean by "empty global.asa". Post the global.asa
code that causes the problem for you.

All of my projects have a global.asa file, including the one I tested your
code with.

By "returned", do you mean the

response.Write "query_stri ng= " & _
request.ServerV ariables("query _string")

statement writes an empty string?
