How to Dynamically Generate ASX Files Using ASP Pages

• Microsoft Windows NT Server NetShow 3.0 Services

SUMMARY

In some situations you may want to create an ASX file dynamically by using the Active Server Page (ASP) scripting language.

MORE INFORMATION

The following sample illustrates how this may be done:

<% Response.ContentType="video/x-ms-asf" %><ASX version="3.0">
<Entry>
<Ref href="mms://servername/filename.asf" />
</Entry>

Note that the Reponse.ContentType is immediately followed by the opening tag of the ASX file. If these two entries are made on separate lines, then Microsoft Internet Explorer inserts an extra blank line at the top of the resulting ASX file. The NetShow Player does not recognize the ASX file if this extra line is present.
