R – Why can I not get application object in classic ASP when I add a .NET Wildcard mapping to directory

asp-classicasp.netmappingwildcard

We're migrating a site from classic asp to .NET. In the process, I need to use .NET authentication to secure the classic asp pages. This works great with wildcard mapping…unless the classic asp pages try to use something like the Application object.

I have tried adding an HTTPHandler to pass the request to the asp.dll, but to no avail.

Is what I am trying to do even possible?

Are you trying to have some of your old 'classic' asp pages within the same site as the .aspx pages? We've done something similar here, but we wound up with two websites, one for the asp and one for the .net and did some session sharing to perform the authentication.

How about having a hidden variable on the page in which you can store the value of the variable from your server side vb script of your asp pages.

Then you can use Javascript to query this variable to send across to the Asp.Net handler through your ajax calls.
