asp upload images and browsing

To me it seems that asp connector in the 2.6.3 is completly out of order.
After configuring as decribed from manual and lot of test with paths I started to analize the source code.

1) The file class_upload.asp is a unicode file and generate same problems in the ascii editors (and quite sure to vbscript)

2) The file basecml.asp, line 33, contain Response.CodePage=65001, but that generate error in VBscript, the same as writing response.inexistentAttribute or response.helloeverybodywhatareyoudoing?
I only use Php or Asp classic... but suppose that assign codepage that way is only working in aspx not asp where it should be used <%@ CodePage=65001 Language="VBScript"%> instead.

Trying to fix all, calling the connector manually (to understand what's going on), passing the same parameters I see on the "upload images - Browse serverr" I stopped here:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

vbscript works perfectly with unicode files. If your editor doesn't handle UTF, then you should upgrade, we are in 2008 and any decent editor does work correctly with UTF files.

What's your server?

My editor works great. For asp I use TsWebEditor, but normal ascii editors have problems. Personal opinion: when possibile, international scope scripts are better using ascii and english.

On the server I also have Php as IIS cgi. Trying the php connector I circumvent the problem.
Still remain a little problem: the resource browser.
In the window for uploading images, the button "Browse server" open the window with a path like this:

http://192.168.0.3/beni/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=Image&Connector=http%3A%2F%2F192.168.0.3%2Fbeni%2Ffckeditor%2Feditor%2Ffilemanager%2Fconnectors%2Fphp%2Fconnector.php

Re: asp upload images and browsing

A step back on ASP: the problem of the ASP connector is, at least the BOM of the asp unicode file.
That's why I got errors on various files, like the asp connector or asp examples.

Here the official articles.
IIS5: BOM of UTF-8 Encoded Files Is Treated as Data
Because of the BOM, the VB script engine is unable to parse the code.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301623
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Internet Information Services 5.0.

Those servers with IIS5 + .net don't have the problems.
Should anyway better removing BOM to expand compatibility.

I've spent a lot of time with asp... Abandoned!
PHP connectors works great in all it's parts. I'll use it on the ASP server with PHP in CGI, and that's all.
Works both upload and browsing.

Re: asp upload images and browsing

IIS5 is just Windows 2000, some places might be still using them, but meanwhile every new server (in MS world) is windows 2003 or 2008, the number of w2000 won't increase and usually they are left in "maintenance mode", removing UTF compatibility to cater those servers seems like a backwards move.
