Including an ASP page

[theevilone]

Hi,

Is it possible to include an ASP/VBScript page within a Coldfusion page. This would save me having to rewrite the ASP page into a Coldfusion page, something I would like to avoid.

Thanks,
Ravi

Well... I don't believe so, no.

You could do something like:

<CFHTTP url=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://mydomain.com/mypath/asppage.asp&quot;[/URL] method=&quot;GET&quot;>
</CFHTTP>

<CFOUTPUT>#CFHTTP.FileContent#</CFOUTPUT>

which would, in effect, grab the asp page, process it, and put the result into the FileContent variable. But CFHTTP can be notoriously slow and prone to lag.

Better to just bite the bullet and convert everything to ColdFusion. You'd get much better performance and maintainability. And, in reality, it really shouldn't take that long.

Thanks Carl. Yes, I think converting the ASP page to Coldfusion is the right way to go.
