HELP!!! Upgrading to windows 2008 R2 server has caused major issue with screen scraping remote server pages.

Question

I have three servers. One is Windows 2003(A) and another is Windows 2008(B) and third one is also Windows 2008 (C). All of them are web servers. A and B contains classic asp pages and they are 32 bit servers and C contains asp.net pages and is 64 bit server. The asp pages of A and B use the screen scraping technology to render the asp.net pages from C. When A is ran, the asp.net page is rendered fine, meaning there are no broken images or file not found error. When B is ran, the images appears to be broken because its looking for those images in Server B instead of Server C itself.

I believe this issue is caused by IIS 7 or 7.5 since IIS 6 has no problem scraping the remote server pages.

Can you please help me with solution to this problem?

This is sort of urgent since upgrading to windows server 2008 R2 now has been a major show stopper for us at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Thanks for your help but I figured this out. My asp pages are very complex and depending upon paramenters, different asp pages are called and included. In the case, I was trying, I was calling asp page which was including another asp page where to be scraped url was pointing to the local server, instead of remote server. When I fixed that, it started to work.

So in short, it was code issue not IIS 7 issue.

Thanks.
