Including files from external servers??

[RoKKos]

Hi
I have files on 2 diffrent servers.
Server A is my webserver.
Server B is a server I cannot login to and only use there HTM/ASP pages with the HTTP protocol.

The problem I have is that i want to include a file from server B in a page that is on server A.

-------------------------------------------------
|               <#include file on A>             |
-------------------------------------------------
|                       |                        |
|                       |                        |
|<#include file on A>	|<#include file from B>  |
|                       |                        |
|                       |                        |
-------------------------------------------------

(i know that the syntax is wrong, just a bit simpifies)

can I do this with a simple include or a server.execute. Or is this impossible without creating a viritul catalog from server B??

servers should not be a problem as long as they are avialable on the web

the syntax is

<!--#include file=&quot;

http://www.aserver.com.myfile.asp&quot;-->

I have tried that but I cant get it to work have also tried

<!--#include file=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.aserver.com/myfile.htm&quot;-->;[/URL]

as I think would be then correct syntax

You can't include files from another server like this.

I seem to remember someone posting another technique a while ago but am having trouble finding it at the moment. Don't think it was that easy though...

I have seen some posts here about this topic but none of them had a good answar to the question, most of then created a virituel directory and stuff like that, and I cant do that since I do not have access to that server.

As long as the content is only HTML or some other fixed type o content, you could use the XMLHttp control to request that content and then reuse it in your page. This will not work like an include because your receiving the content exactly as if you were the client browser requesting a page from the remote server. (Which is why it would work for static pages, but not dynamic pages)

Sever Side Include can work with the same server(web). This is not possible to include any files from another server into your asp file using the SSI technique.

You can Use Frames for this purpose. Alternatively you can use iframe like
<iframe src=&quot;

http://www.yahoo.com&quot;

name=&quot;Iframe1&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; scrolling=&quot;yes&quot;></iframe>


Good Luck
