Can I safely call Response.End in a server-side JScript constructor?

[Vince C.]

Hi.

I've got the following ASP server-side script:

function MyObject()
{
if ( myCondition == true ) {
Response.End();
}
...
}

Will it result in resource leakage or will the being-constructed instance be
released properly?

Thanks in advance,
Vince C.

Hi Vince,

"Response.End" will send all currently buffered output to the client, stops
execution of the page. If there some code which take resposiblility to
release resource after "Response.End", these code may not be executed.
Therefore, we need to use this carefully, to ensure resource leak.

Thanks, Luke. So the response is "no". I'll take it into account.
