Re: workaround for password protection
Your pages that contain ASP code must have the .asp file extension, or the server won't execute the code. Those that don't can stay as .htm*
If your index.htm doesn't contain any asp code then you can leave it as it is.
If your index.htm contains the client login form you will need to call it index.asp, but that is incompatible with Xara's file naming convention (the first file of any xara site has to be called something.htm*). Therefore you will need to create a new, completely empty, page at the top of your list of pages, even above/before index.asp. You can call this page anything you like as long as it has a .htm* extension, but I prefer to call it something short like asp.htm so that your site assets are then contained in a "asp_html_files" folder. Once created, you can forget about that page. As long as it remains there, Xara is happy, and your site's home page will be index.asp and your site will work when you upload it on the server .
That's all you need to do to make asp work on an IIS server. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, it's 05h55 and I've just watched Conan the barbarian 2011, and it was rubbish
If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
Avoiding Manual Labour.
