Haven’t used ASCW and CHRW much, but here it goes:

strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8211),”–”)
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8212),”–”)
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8216),”‘”)
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8217),”‘”)
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8220),”"”")
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8221),”"”")
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8226),”*”)
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8482),”")
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8230),”.”)

which can be fixed by using the following code:

http.open “GET”, url, True
Const SXH_SERVER_CERT_IGNORE_ALL_SERVER_ERRORS = 13056
http.setOption 2, SXH_SERVER_CERT_IGNORE_ALL_SERVER_ERRORS

then msxml6.dll threw
The connection with the server was terminated abnormally
-2147012866

In the code I found the following line which caused the trouble:
http.setRequestHeader “Connection”, “Close”
Why oh Why?

Remember the following:

1. close your database recordsets

2. close your database connections

3. close any other objects you’ve created

4. in case you come across a response.redirect do all of the above before calling it.

5. read 4.

//==== Redirect… Try PHP header redirect, then Java redirect, then try http redirect.:
function redir($url) {
if (!headers_sent()) {    //If headers not sent yet… then do php redirect
header(‘Location: ‘.$url);

exit;
} else {
//If headers are sent… do java redirect… if java disabled, do html redirect.
echo ‘<script type=”text/javascript”>’;
echo ‘window.location.href=”‘.$url.’”;’;
echo ‘</script>’;
echo ‘<noscript>’;
echo ‘<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0;url=’.$url.’” />’;
echo ‘</noscript>’;
exit;
}
return 1;
}

For some reason, german street names were no longer accepted if they contained special german characters such as ß or ö,ä,ü. We countered by replacing them with their “manual” counterparts ss, oe, ae, ue. 

The problem seems to have disappeared a few hours later but my email to ipayment has been unanswered so far.

However, we use our own session management and sometimes a url like verynice.html gets turned into notsonice.asp?id=verynice when certain session functions kick in.

A quick hack into our header and now we use the canonical tag in order to tell google and yahoo about our content. As I’ve seen thousands of duplicate content issues in google webmaster tools, I hope this will have some effect.

Set RegularExpressionObject = New RegExp

With RegularExpressionObject
.Pattern = “<[^>]+>”
.IgnoreCase = True
.Global = True
End With

stripHTMLtags = RegularExpressionObject.Replace(HTMLstring, “”)
Set RegularExpressionObject = nothing

End Function
