 Тема: Strange behaviour IIS and RegExp

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Hai there!



The issue:

Crashing IIS using ordinary vbscript in an ASP page. Using Regular

expressions one can filter eg the contents of an HTML page. In this case i

was planning to filter some words. But some servers crashed on a not valid

regular expression when i pressed F5 in VID.



<%

Set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")

        Checkfile = server.MapPath("\") & "\index\mypage.html"

        mystring = fso.OpenTextFile ((checkfile)).ReadAll



        set myregexp = new regexp



        myregexp.Global = TRUE

        myregexp.IgnoreCase = true

        ' Normal regular expresion

        'myregexp.Pattern = "[A-Z0-9\.\-\_\ ]+"

        ' A not valid expression

        myregexp.Pattern = ".*"

        set mymatches =myregexp.Execute (mystring)



        for each thing in mymatches

                Response.Write thing

        next

%>



Results:

Winnt 4.0 Ent. sp5 IIS: (In the browser) a trappable error occured _or_ no

data is returned aka: normal reaction on invalid expression

Winnt 4.0 Ent. sp6 IIS: Inetinfo.exe crashes without any notice

Winnt 4.0 Ent. sp6a IIS:  Inetinfo.exe dies eventlog message:



An object call caused an exception.

Access violation? No doc's in MS support database regarding Regexp or

Can anyone reproduce this?
