I'm displaying an image like this:
<img src='counter.asp'>
counter.asp is doing a hit-counter do determine how often the image was displayed (I'll replace it with a modrewrite
URL).
The problem: in the counter.asp script I need to send the actual .jpg
image to the browser. How could this be done? I suppose I need to load the image through FSO, and then send it using Response.BinaryWrite
- any ideas?
To read and output binary you can simply use the ADODB.Stream object.
See the ADODB.Stream MSDN Library:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms675032(VS.85).aspx
Here's an example I found from Experts Exchange as well:
Function ReadBinaryFile(strFileName)
on error resume next
Set oStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
if Err.Number <> 0 then
ReadBinaryFile=Err.Description
Err.Clear
exit function
end if
oStream.Type = 1
oStream.Open
oStream.LoadFromFile strFileName
if Err.Number<>0 then
ReadBinaryFile=Err.Description
Err.Clear
exit function
end if
ReadBinaryFile=oStream.Read
oStream.Close
set oStream = nothing
if Err.Number<>0 then ReadBinaryFile=Err.Description
End Function
