brucie's bugs in ASP

Mostly for my own satisfaction, I have put together an ASP version of
brucie's bugs page (http://usenet.alt-html.org/bugs/bugs.php). I
shamelessly stole his images and CSS files, and modified his code. ;-)

For anyone who is interested, it can be found at
http://www.clarkecomputers.com.au/usenet/bugs.asp.

The only thing I was unable to recreate was finding out the dimensions of
the large images, as I can't find an ASP equivalent to the PHP getimagesize
function. (If anyone knows how to do this, I'd be interested to hear it.)
Of course, you could code it in for each image, but that would become very
time-consuming for a large number of images.

While the code may not be as elegant as it could be, it does what it is
supposed to. Feel free to steal it and modify it for your own use if you
want. :-)

Your view source is referring to <http://usenet.alt-html.org/bugs/bugs.txt>,
which results in a 404.

Do you have any image manipulation routines on your server? Most of these
will give you the info you need. I use AspImage but ImageSize will do just
what you want. Both available from http://www.serverobjects.com

Not that I am aware of - will have to check with our web host.

Will check ImageSize out for local use though, thanks.

i know where you live

you're not returning a 304 if i request the same page again so i
retrieve the page from cache. it makes it resource hungry and slower.

when the style is 0 your URI is ... 'style=' rather then 'style=0'
same with the bug variable when changing styles (which point to my
pages).

whats with the cookie?

try this one: http://usenet.alt-html.org/butterflies/
