As far as I remember, with classic ASP the Request.Form collection is 
provided for reading out the values posted by a HTML form. If you 
directly post JSON then I think you need to read out the request body 
with http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms525710%28v=vs.90%29.aspx, 
only the object you get from that is a SafeArray that does not fit in 
well with the JScript data types. So you need something along the lines of

  var responseArray = new 
VBArray(Request.BinaryRead(Request.TotalBytes)).toArray();

See 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/y39d47w8%28v=vs.94%29.aspx 
for the methods.
