Just noticed during the creation og my 100 DP text only site mission, that lightposts do not work properly on websites that end with the .asp extension.

Was wondering if this was a known issue or not.

what url are you trying to stash a lightpost on? the file extension is irrelevant to pmog.

I was just able to deploy a Lightpost to a URL with an Active Server Page (.asp)

So you are saying the problem is in the Mission part when you click to go to a Lightpost on a "nameofpage.asp" ?

I'd speculate that it could be due to that .asp page possibly being an unencoded URL string in the PMOG Mission database. Since many scripting technologies use "nameofpage.asp?nav=Blue;otherwierdCharacter=True" that there may be a problem with getting the full URL during the Mission.

(boy that is wild speculation!)

@czarchon GET-data is fine. That's what my crate script is based on.

Well it was three pages, all ending in .asp (like www.yoursite.com/index.asp)

Just had three asp urls in a row cause me problems, thought I would see if there was a problem.

I asked our senior programmer and he said the extension of the page file is not a factor... it's the content.

So, it's the page itself that is likely causing PMOG its trouble, not its file extension.
