Use of Response.Redirect in ASP Classic

Question

With this code in program A
Response.Redirect "prog B"
subprogram B is called (and executed)

Ask :

How does the focus return to program A after finishing prog B ?
Was of the opinion that the focus (after finishing B) automatically returned to A.

Does this require some additional code in A or in B ?

Thanks

B must do a redirect back to application A.

Yes, you must write code. It sounds like you should probably learn what a redirect is and maybe HTTP GET and POST.

302 Found
HTTP Request Methods

The Response.Redirect returns a 302 (or 301) HTTP response where the location header is set to a target URL. When the browser receives the HTTP response it does an HTTP GET to the target URL found in the location header. This is similar to clicking a link.

Thanks for answer AgaveJoe
You wrote: "Yes, you must write code."
I assume this is about the code to return to the initial program A (ie after the execution of the redirect URL = program B) ?

How is that (back) code formulated?
(I know METHOD="POST" but the relationship to Response.Redirect (URL) is unknown to me)

Thanks for tips.

@Lan Huang-MSFT
I want to implement Response.Redirect in Classic ASP.

This is the code in the main programA : Response.Redirect "URL subprogramB"

My problem is :

1. with which (ASP Classic)code does the application return from subB to A ?
2. where should that code be inserted : I suspect in subB ?

Thanks,
