I have a reproducible failure now. This script:
<%@Language=Python%>
<%
session = Server.CreateObject("MAPI.Session")
session.Logon ("", "", 0, 0, 0, 0, "server\nmailbox")
%>
consistently fails and requires the website to be restarted.
The COM object is provided by Outlook 98.
The equivalent VBScript script:
<%@Language=VBScript%>
<%
Set cdoSession = Server.CreateObject ("MAPI.Session")
cdoSession.Logon "", "", 0, 0, 0, 0, "server" & vbNewLine & "mailbox"
%>
produces this error:
error 'ASP 0115'
Unexpected error
/asp/graham/vbfail.asp
A trappable error occurred in an external object. The script cannot
continue running.
and the server keeps going. So it looks like VBScript handles these
errors in a more graceful way than Python.
Oh yes, the same code ran fine under Pythonwin when the permissions were
set up for it.
