Does anyone know how "Code Phrase" work? If you are not sure what "Code Phrase" is please go to www.bulkregister.com and try the "Whois" databasew. Search for any domain name and you will be promted to enter a "Code Phrase" that is presented to you on the screen.
It's simply an image, randomly created from several images of letters and/or numbers written in an obscure font that cannot be easily read or OCR'd by HTML scanners/robots/code scrapers. This is usually a successful way to 'script-proof' and 'humanise' the submission of a form.
In this case the file is a .png format and is most likely built using a CGI script. I believe ASP.NET is capable of similar tasks.
I'm not aware of any way in ASP Classic to do it (doesn't mean there isn't), my guess is you'd need a COM object probably to do it like ASPJpeg or such.
