The web server examines file extensions of a requested page, if the file extension end in .asp. Then the ASP script host is present on the web server machine in the form of the file asp.dll can only be located on the web server machine. ASP provides objects and components. What these do is manage interaction between the web server and web browser. An object is a set of related functions and pieces of information.
Components have a wide range of objects.
In ASP s there are things called intrinsic objects and those are objects that deal with specific aspects of interactivity. There are seven ASP intrinsic objects. They are Request, Response, Server, Application, Session, ObjectContext, and ASPError. Response deals with the server s response back to the browser. Server is used to represent the web server itself.
