In php I simply use
php -q index.php > index.html
in asp, you could load the page up in a browser and save it as an html
file, or run a software to crawl the entire site and download all the
pages which will be static of course, provided there aren't too many
pages.
You can also use a utility called wget to get the pages and save them as
a static file. It's a unix utility but you can get a win32 port for it
(let me know if you can't find it). You can use it like so:
wget http://localhost/index.asp?item=camera&num=45 -o
/camera/item45.html
-o is the output redirector. and this page gets saved in the camera
folder with the name item45.html
using this basic idea you can create a batch file or a perl script (or
whatever you prefer) which calls wget and does this.
