ASP Problems

how to fix?

[Lorel]

I'm not an ASP programmer but getting requests to analyze sites designed in ASP that have querystring based sessions turned on to gather cookies and according to another thread months ago this prevents search engines from following links on those sites. And this appears to be the problem with sites I have analyzed. They usually all have other problems too but I suspect this is the biggest problem.

I have 2 questions:

1. Can I, someone who is not familiar with ASP, turn off the query string sessions? If so, can you tell me how?

2. Can I correct other code problems on these sites leaving the .asp extension on or will I have to change all pages over to HTML (they are not large sites or using databases, and have gotten no traffic after several months of being online so setting up 301 redirects for a new extension won't pose much of a problem with inside pages. Home page is not in ASP.

What is the best way to deal with this problem?

I wasn't aware you could use cookieless sessions in classic ASP.

Is it definitely Microsoft ASP that you're using? Can you post some of the code please?

As for the extensions, what language are you programming the new site in?

usually you just need to remap the .asp extension in IIS
