Real time site monitoring ASP script

[Benny]

Hi,

A client of us asked to write a script to View live visitors as they
browse her website and to get the information such as, what page they are
viewing, what browser type they are using, IP address/host name, visitor
time on site and screen resolution.

Is this possible in ASP scripting without a server side or client side
application? How to get the realtime stats of a visitor? Any ideas will help
us much.

Thanks,
Benny

What do you mean by "without a server side or client side application"? If
you don't want to use code, how would you implement any kind of dynamic
behavior?
Anyway, if you are willing to use server side code:
Try writing the following Request.Servervariables into a log (file or
database):
ALL_HTTP
HTTP_HOST
HTTP_REFERER (note that this is unreliable)
HTTP_URL
QUERY_STRING
SCRIPT_NAME
HTTP_USER_AGENT (not really detailed)
....

You can find all of these variables under the topic "IIS Server Variables"
in MSDN.
I would also write Session.SessionID in order to be able to identify
separate sessions. (Or better yet, a unique database ID generated in
Session_OnStart for example.)

Thanks,
Benny

Sorry, I was not clear earlier.

I wanted to say, no server side VB componenets to be installed or client
side Activex or software installtions. It needed to be ASP Script based.

Thanks Bejo.
