Active Server Page File Type

What is a ASP File Type?

The ASP files are similar to .HTML but used a little differently. When a web browser requests an HTML file, the n'server sends only the file. However, when an ASP file is requested by a web browser, the server sends the request via the ASP engine intermediary, which analyzes the ASP file and generates simple HTML that is sent to the client browser. Since ASP pages are processed on the server, the real ASP code is not visible to visitors to the website, only the HTML generated from the scripts on the page. Typically, ASP pages use l' option ".asp" extension rather than l' option ".html.

Since the release of ASP 1.0 in 1996, there have only been two other versions, ASP 2.0 in 1997 and ASP 3.0 in 2000. In 2002, Microsoft released ASP.NET, which superseded ASP. Now ASP is commonly referred to as Classic ASP or ASP Classic. Because of the wide implementation of the ASP.NET framework, ASP pages have largely been replaced by .ASPX pages. Some advantages of ASP.NET over ASP is the use of more languages such as C#, VB.NET, J#, and Delphi.NET, as well as improved performance with compiled code, more advanced debugging, and better run-time error handling.

What is a Default ASP File Name?

Default.asp - The default web page loaded when a client browser requests a web server directory on a Microsoft IIS server. For example, when a client requests http: / / www.sampledomain.com / the server loads http: / / / www.sampledomain.com / Default.asp, unless it is configured to load a different file.
