lastday on "Cache ASP Pages"

You may close this forum topic. I found a way to Cache my pages so that I'm only pulling feeds from Feed Digest once every hour. Thank you.

We have a PHP script that does this, although it's not officially supported. We do not have anything for ASP though, mostly because we have no access to any Microsoft servers and aren't familiar with ASP. I know some of our users use ASP, but the chances of them replying here are pretty low, I'd imagine.

Anyone with a reasonable knowledge of ASP would be able to put together some sort of proxy/cache that temporary stores the digests on your site within a couple of hours, I'd say, as the PHP one took less time than that.

My page at http://www.LastDayReport.com loads very slow at times. I spoke to the administrator of my server and he looked at the web page code. He said it loads slow because it is loading 10 ASP feeds from FeedDigest every time someone visits the page. He suggested that I code my web page to Cache so my server is not requesting all the data each time someone visits the site. Can you offer a way of doing this? Or can you suggest someone to contact to assist me with this?

Thanks Frank

Thank you worked perfectly. Have a good day.

Try this:

The first one will look like usual..

<%
dim Http
Set Http = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
Http.Open "Get","http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/GS7O8YMJB7.html",False
Http.Send()
Response.Write(Http.ResponseText)
%>

But for the second one and all others afterwards remove the first two lines of code, like so:

<%
Http.Open "Get","http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/PHPT9NBDMD.html",False
Http.Send()
Response.Write(Http.ResponseText)
%>

Ok, Here are two of them. If I use one or the other, the page works great. If both are on the web page at the same time the page gives the error. This is important for me to figure out. Right now I'm using JAVA code on the page and the page loads very slow since there are 16 feeds loading at one time. I'm told by many people that using ASP will make the page load faster. So, I'm need to convert from the JAVA feeds to ASP feeds. Thank you so much for trying to assist. Frank

Code # 1
----------------
<%
dim Http
Set Http = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
Http.Open "Get","http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/GS7O8YMJB7.html",False
Http.Send()
Response.Write(Http.ResponseText)
%>

Code # 2
-----------------
<%
dim Http
Set Http = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
Http.Open "Get","http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/PHPT9NBDMD.html",False
Http.Send()
Response.Write(Http.ResponseText)
%>

I must admit the ASP code was supplied by a user who was familiar with the technology. I have no personal experience of ASP or anything that runs ASP to test on. If I had to guess, I'd say perhaps it doesn't like the variables being defined twice. Can you paste the ASP code you're using here and I'll see if I can come up with an idea.

I loaded ASP onto my web page with Feed Digest ASP code and it worked perfectly and quickly. But, if I load more than one ASP feed on my web page I receive an error and the page does not display. See error below. This is not good as I need the ability to insert multiple feeds into my web page.

Please advise.

The results of when people complained to GoDaddy a year ago are in the old Feed Digest forum thread:

http://www.feeddigest.info/oldforums/3_1238_0.html

I believe they initially claimed it was us, but we actually moved datacenters since then and it still didn't work. I'm guessing they have a pretty conservative firewall policy for stuff like this. Perhaps they have a proxy server and/or some source code that they advise clients to use, so it's worth asking about that as it should be possible to use their proxy server if they have one with some minor code adjustments.

I just tried your suggestion and they are blocking that also, see below the code I used. Why are they doing this? What advantage is it to them? I'm sure they do not care but I will be calling them later today to request they stop blocking Feeddigest. I'm sure it will not do a bit of good.

Do you have any other possible workaround that I could try?

For what it's worth, GoDaddy has had this policy in place for over a year now.

Oh, yes. GoDaddy has blocked us. See this:

http://www.feeddigest.info/oldforums/3_1238_0.html

We used to have a workaround that proxied through a third party (a.k.a. app4.feeddigest.com) but this is no longer active. One workaround that sometimes works for GoDaddy users is to route the digests through Coral cache, like so:

http://app.feeddigest.com.nyud.net:8090/digest3/GS7O8YMJB7.html

instead of

http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/GS7O8YMJB7.html

Note that just ".nyud.net:8090" is being added in to the URL.

I have tried many different things today. I even loaded up other ASP code on my website and it worked. I have an idea. My website is hosted by GoDaddy, could it be that GoDaddy is blocking Feeddigest? Could that be the problem??? If it is the case, could there be a workaround some how?

Try renaming it to use .aspx as the extension. Supposedly that extension is for ASP .NET. I must admit I know very little about these technologies, so it's a bit of a stab in the dark. Failing that, the error I'm seeing about not being able to load resource might indicate some issue with accessing us from your host's server. But try .aspx first.

I took a blank page and saved it as an ASP page. I put one of my scripts in the page and received an error when I made it live. The script I used was PX3VVRYCRN and I chose the ASP VBscript. Here is the page: http://www.lastdayreport.com/asp-test-page.asp

I do have ASP support on the server. Can you see what I might be doing wrong? Located below is the actual raw code from the page.

dim Http
Set Http = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
Http.Open "Get","http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/GS7O8YMJB7.html",False
Http.Send()

%>

As with the JavaScript, it's just a case of copying and pasting the supplied code onto a page. In the case of PHP, ASP, and other technologies, however, you have to ensure your Web hosting provider supports these technologies. Secondly, you have to make sure the page itself supports these technologies. For example, PHP code will often not run unless it is on a page with a file extension of .php. Likewise with ASP, the extension is typically .asp. There are workarounds for this in both cases, but it requires a little work.

I was wondering if there is someone to assist in showing me how to make ASP inclusion code work on my webpage? I have the Javascript working but with multiple Java scripts loading at one time it slows the page down. I would like to use the ASP code as that loads at a server level. But, I don't know how to use ASP.

(Unless, of course, you can report you are still noticing the issue :))

It's not always necessarily one ISP or the other, as they pass through many others en route. This can be an occasional problem between the UK and the US, for example, where the interconnects temporarily fail leading to broken routes for short periods of time. I briefly looked into this issue and couldn't see any problems, but being hosted in the UK, you are likely to have a longer route than many users, but this problem hasn't seemed to reemerge in the last couple of days so there is not much to check out.

There is some ASP code, yes, if you look on the Get Code page for your digest it should be there :)

Actually I am coding ASP and not PHP. Is there a solution for ASP too?

Did you manage to trace the route through the networks to see if there issues between my ISP and you ?

They are a large and well respected ISP and I doubt that their connections would be a poblem.
