- line of site: My QR Code
Had a meeting last week with our Japanese partners and they showed us an advertisement with a QR code in it. Kind of like cuecat for mobile phones, except useful.

Almost the exact same toolbar as the Web Developer Toolbar in FireFox, except for the inclusion of the ruler tool, which would be worth the price of admission by itself.

Hopefully I’ll be able to use it this semester for books. The books cost so much at the campus bookstore that you half expect them to throw you a free diamond or something.

ASP, ServerVariables, Server_Name, Windows 2003, IIS6
We’re in the process of upgrading our webservers to Windows 2003 and thus IIS6. One of the issues we ran into was that the Server_Name key of the ServerVariables collection in VBScript started returning the computer name of the machine rather than the host name of the website. I spent a couple hours googling and found nothing, my recent hire found the hot fix on microsoft.com in about 5 minutes today (which shows how important good google skills are). In short, there’s a security issue with IIS (surprised?) whereby sending a GET request to an IIS web server without sending a host header would result in the web server returning the IP address of the web server in the content location field of the response TCP header. The easy fix is to run:
cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/UseHostName false
which modifies all IIS web sites to return the website host name rather than the machine name / IP address when getting the Server_Name key of the ServerVariables collection.
