Getting Twilio fax receive to work with classic ASP

Hi Kevin,

How about setting up a simple page say : FaxHandler.asp and then request the http header? Also, you will have to allow CORS request from Twilio source servers.

dim url
url = Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_MediaUrl"])
'log url

Select allOpen in new window

PS:May I know why use Classic ASP? Is it an absolute requirement or you can move/use any of the modern frameworks?

I was using Classic ASP because the rest of the site is written in it.  I tried to get the PHP to work with codeignitor but did not.

I have to issue the command to receive or reject the fax and then once it is received to get the fax url, copy to local server and enter info into sql for customer to see.  the only problem that I have been having is getting Twilio to webhook to my server to initiate the receive.

As I stated, I have made the sending of FAX and SMS available through classic asp.  Cannot figure why I cannot get the receive fax to work correctly.

Thanks

Hi Kevin,

Understood. Please give it a try. Create a simple asp page (as if you were building a page with Form) and use Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_MediaUrl"] to gain access to posted data.

well I have to tell Twilio to receive the fax first.  that is where the problem comes in.

Anyone else have any ideas??

I am trying to convert this

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class FaxController extends Controller {

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        // set content-type for all requests returned by this controller
        $this->set_output->set_content_type('text/xml');
    }

    // Define a handler for when the fax is initially sent
    public function sent()
    {
        $twimlResponse = new SimpleXMLElement("<Response></Response>");
        $receiveEl = $twimlResponse->addChild('Receive');
        $receiveEl->addAttribute('action', '/fax/received');

        $this->output->set_output($twimlResponse->asXML());
    }

    // Define a handler for when the fax is finished sending to us - if successful,
    // We will have a URL to the contents of the fax at this point
    public function received()
    {
        // log the URL of the PDF received in the fax
        log_message('info', $this->input->post("MediaUrl"));

        // Respond with empty 200/OK to Twilio
        $this->set_status_header(200);
        $this->output->set_output('');
    }
}

to something that I can use with classic asp
