$Response->End bug?

[Philip Mak <pm...@aaanime.net>]

In Apache::ASP 2.55, if I have the following ASP script:

This is a blank page.
<%= $Response->End %>

and then I load it, nothing will be displayed.

The same thing happens with this ASP script:

<my:page title="Blank Page">
This is a blank page.
<%$Response->End%>
</my:page>

where my:page is an XMLSub.

This is proving problematic on my website because sometimes, in the
middle of a script it decides that there is an error condition and
aborts, so I want to $Response->Clear, print an error message and
$Response->End, but calling $Response->End causes a completely blank
page to be returned.

Is this a bug in Apache::ASP? Or should I not be calling
$Response->End in the middle of a script, and rather I should redesign
the script such that all error checking is done at the beginning?

Hi Philip,

I have run into similar problems & I don't have a good solution.

The problem is that the output generated between an XMLSubs tag
is buffered so that it can be passed to that tag subroutine.
A call to $Response->End exits the script processing prematurely
not even allowing the XMLSubs tag to capture the output in process.

You could try a <% return; %> instead of $Response->End, which should
halt the XMLSubs execution as the XMLSubs block is really a
subroutine anyway ( though I do not think I have done this personally,
so I would be curious as to your results. ).

If you have any ideas about how things could be done better, I would
be happy to hear them as always.

Regards,

Josh
