I'm not entirely familiar with ASP as I tend to avoid using windows for
world facing servers wherever possible (a shame as some windows things are
quite good, but I feel it is too difficult to ensure a windows box stays
secure).

However, this is the approach I normally use with PHP, Perl, C, Java etc
since it avoids difficulties with browser compatibility. The only potential
drawback is on heavily loaded servers when it would be nicer to make the
browser do some of the work :)
