Viewing an ASP document offline ?

[[Mystik_Cool]]

This is not a linux-specific question.

Let's say I downloaded some files from an internet website, to be able to read them even when I'm not connected. There is a "default.asp" page, which is the page printed when I connect to the website, and some others.
Is it possible to browse this website while I'm offline ? I tried with the usual navigator (in fact I am not at home so impossible to run my linux machine, so I tried simply with IExplorer), but I have nothing when I try to open (from IExplorer) the "default.asp" file which is on my hard drive.

I don't know ANYTHING about ASP so, maybe I'm missing something really simple....

Thanx in advance for any help !

ASP is a language whereby documents are generated using VBScript or JScript on the server. They use <% and %> tags to enclose the script code.

Did you save the document using IE's "Save As..." feature? If so, you should have no problems; all of the ASP code is processed before it's sent to your computer.

Look through the file and see if it has <% or %> in it.

Hum...ok... I used a website scanner to do so. But I just realized that, using another site scanner (which seems to be more intelligent !), it processes the code and gives nice html pages that I can use easily.

So I'll use this scanner and it should be fine. The funny thing is that I'm trying to download a website with tutorials to learn ASP :D

Essentially it shouldn't matter what you grab the page with (eg: use wget), the server will always process the code before you see the HTML output.

Yes, but I was thinking it might have been downloaded by FTP or some other means.
