Using VBScript to make a page things it's in another directory

[midoriweb]

I'm not sure if this is possible. I've searched around and I couldn't find and answer to my question.

I have a website... let's say it's:

[mysite.com...]

On my website I have a page:

[mysite.com...]

Now... I need that page to "think" it is actually:

[mysite.com...]

I'm running some software in "/directory1/" and I need to grab some of that information and put it into the root of my website. The problem is, the software has a license and it will only allow me to call from this application within the directory1 folder.

So... my question... can I use vbscript to make [mysite.com...] think it is actually [mysite.com...]

Inside of my current default.asp page on the root of my server I have the following code:

<!--#include file="directory1/default.asp" -->

And that's it. Would I be able to add some code above that line to make the server think the url is really in the directory1 folder? If not... what work around ideas can/should I check into?

Try calling the /directory1/ script into the root of your site using xmlHTTP, AspTear, or AspHTTP. I believe if you use any of those components the script will run under /directory1/, and not the root, like when you use the regular include.

defanjos... thank you VERY much :)

I never knew about these little apps that could do what I needed. I installed AspTear (since it was the free one) and I got it working just like I need it to. Thank you again for the help :)

Oops... just noticed something. It seems with ASPTear you can't use cookies on the page you're pulling from another directory on the same server. Or can you? Is there a way to support cookies as well? My code is the following:

<%
'AspTear constants
Const Request_POST = 1
Const Request_GET = 2

Set objTear = CreateObject("SOFTWING.ASPtear")
Response.ContentType = "text/html"

On Error Resume Next

Dim strRetval
' URL, action, payload, username, password
strRetval = objTear.Retrieve("http://www.mysite.com/directory1/Default_Frontend.asp", Request_GET, "", "", "")

Response.Write strRetval
%>
