Is there an issue with IIS or ASP Classic where Request.ServerVariables(“QUERY_STRING”) returns blank if no default file name is given in the URL? On my local developer machine, I can do 

http://localhost/xslt/?opcs/abc

which returns “opcs/abc”. However, on our ancient web server, it returns nothing. I have to explicitly give it the default file name in the URL. Like so

http://localhost/xslt/default.asp?opcs/abc

While nothing too major, it is a little bit of a annoyance. One way I can maybe think of remidying the problem is have Javascript read the URL and return everything after the ?.

Unfortunately, I do not know what version of IIS or ASP we are using.

Thank you.

    That sounds like a bug, I never experienced that when I used to do a lot of ASP. Make sure you are patched up to the latest version.
