    You dont Insert ASP in HTML page, you do the opposite, i.e., you
    include the HTML code inside ASP page. The ASP part is never sent to
    the browser, it is processed on the server, so its secure if you code
    securely and server permissions are properly setup.

    If the DLL is executing on the server then i dont know how can a
    hacker get them, if they are propoerly placed and security permissions
    are setup correctly, btw you have to use some scripting language to
    call the dll.
     
    > So, my question to you, skilled-people :) is: is there a way to get the asp scripts in a page the server does not send when a client's request arrives? There should be a way to ^perform that, but how tough is it?

    The server never sends the ASP code to the client if it is properly configured.
