When a visitor tries to access a website on my server that is not currently
available, I want to display a "under construction" page using ASP. I have
the page working, but I want to add the clients requesting URL to the
output. I thought I would find it in the Request.ServerVariables() but it
doesn't look like it.

Does anyone know how I can do this?

Assuming you've created your own custom 404 page...

dim badurl
badurl = request.servervariables("QUERY_STRING")
badurl = right(badurl, len(badurl)-4)
response.write "Bad URL: <a href=""" & badurl & """>" & badurl &
"</a><br><br>"

Do not cross-post -- multi-post instead!

Your answer is in microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript

I don't think this will work on an ASP page.

I get the error :

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0005'

Invalid procedure call or argument: 'right'

/default.asp, line 57

Aaaggghhh! He *did* multipost. What he *should* have done is to
cross-post.

Sorry, I keep using the wrong term.

Cross-post -- good; Multi-post -- bad.

BTW, know any any good articles on Newsgroup Etitquette?

Is your default language VBScript? This code works as I took it from my own
page.

Also, you can actually take out the "right" argument, it only strips off
some unwanted characters at the beginning of the param (which is passed as a
querystring to the custom 404 page).
