从同一服务器上的ASP.NET MVC5控制器调用经典ASP

Question

I am migrating an old classic asp project over to ASP.NET, but as it is such a big old thing I am doing it in pieces. So I am at a stage where I need them to work together. The files for both classic asp and .NET are all in the same project. The old classic asp project uses Session variables (the new .NET project doesn't), so I am attempting to call a classic ASP page to do that.

This is the classic asp "bridge":

<!--#include virtual="/members/includes/db.config.asp" -->
<!--#include virtual="/members/includes/classes/clsLogin.asp" -->
<!--#include virtual="/members/includes/classes/clsAccess.asp" -->
<!--#include virtual="/members/includes/classes/clsUser.asp" -->
<!--#include virtual="/members/includes/classes/clsEntity.asp" -->
<!--#include virtual="/members/includes/classes/Database/clsDatabase.asp" -->
<!--#include virtual="/members/includes/classes/Helper/clsSessionVars.asp" -->
<!--#include virtual="/members/includes/classes/Helper/clsGlobal.asp" --><%'This file has global functions '%>
<%
Dim userId : userId = CStr(Request.QueryString("userId"))
Dim username : username = Cstr(Request.QueryString("username"))

Dim objAccess : Set objAccess = new clsAccess
Dim objDb : Set objDb =  new clsDatabase
Dim objUser : Set objUser = new clsUser
Dim objLogin : Set objLogin = new clsLogin
Dim objEntity : Set objEntity = new clsEntity

'Set user session etc.
if(Request.QueryString("function") = "session") then    

    Dim userRecord : Set userRecord = objUser.GetUserById(userId) 
    Dim rsEntity : Set rsEntity = objEntity.GetById(userRecord("EntityId"))
    'Login classic asp : Sets the session variables.            
    Call objLogin.LoginUser(userRecord, username, rsEntity) 

'Kill the session i.e. Log out
elseif(Request.QueryString("function") = "kill") then

    Session.Contents.RemoveAll()
    Session.Abandon()   
    Response.Write("Session Killed")

End if
%>

However, I am having real problems being able to call this from the .NET Controller and get the session variables stored. I tried with a FileWebRequest:

private void SetClassicASPSessionVars(ApplicationUser user)
        {            
            try
            {
                string url = "~/members/includes/classes/aspbridge.asp" + "?function=session&userId=" + Url.Encode(user.UserId.ToString()) + "&username=" + Url.Encode(user.UserName);                
                Uri serverUri = new Uri(url);
                HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(serverUri);
                request.Method = "POST";

                using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
                {
                    StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
                    var content = reader.ReadToEnd();
                }                      
            }

            catch (WebException we)
            {
                throw new InvalidOperationException("Error logging in user to classic asp system. User: " + user.UserId + ". Exception: " + we);
            }
        }

This only read the file and didn't execute the script, so it only returned the source code and didn't create the session variables.

I've also tried with HttpWebRequest:

try
            {
                string url = "/members/includes/classes/aspbridge.asp" + "?function=session&userId=" + Url.Encode(user.UserId.ToString()) + "&username=" + Url.Encode(user.UserName);                
                Uri serverUri = new Uri(url, UriKind.Absolute);
                HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(serverUri);
                request.Method = "POST";

                using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
                {
                    StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
                    var content = reader.ReadToEnd();
                }                      
            }

            catch (WebException we)
            {
                throw new InvalidOperationException("Error logging in user to classic asp system. User: " + user.UserId + ". Exception: " + we);
            }

However, I get the error: Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.

Can someone please offer me some guidance how I can get the .NET controller to call the classic ASP page.

Thanks in advance, Rhys

Answer 1

The reason you're getting the URI error is because WebRequest does not send to requests to relative paths to your application, instead it needs an absolute path. It basically needs to reach URL's as a standard web browser would.

Therefore, make sure your URL has a full path/host:

string url = "http://localhost/members/includes/classes/aspbridge.asp" + "?function=session&userId=" + Url.Encode(user.UserId.ToString()) + "&username=" + Url.Encode(user.UserName);                

I used localhost here as an example. You would want to set the host to the same host as the calling script obviously.

NOTE: I'm still not sure this will entirely accomplish your objecting of capturing a Classic ASP session in .NET, but this should be a better start.
