Implement ReCaptcha in classic ASP - captcha

Question

I've got a problem implementing ReCaptcha from google in classic asp.
The Captcha displays well below my form, but when I submit the form, it's always accepted even if the captcha fields are left empty or are wrong.
Here's the code I use in my first "form" page.
Right at the top of the page I've this :
<%
recaptcha_challenge_field = Request("recaptcha_challenge_field")
recaptcha_response_field = Request("recaptcha_response_field")
recaptcha_public_key = "mykeyofcourse" ' your public key
recaptcha_private_key = "and here the private one" ' your private key
' returns the HTML for the widget
function recaptcha_challenge_writer()
recaptcha_challenge_writer = _
"<script type=""text/javascript"">" & _
"var RecaptchaOptions = {" & _
" theme : 'red'," & _
" tabindex : 0" & _
"};" & _
"</script>" & _
"<script type=""text/javascript"" src=""http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/challenge?k=" & recaptcha_public_key & """></script>" & _
"<noscript>" & _
"<iframe src=""http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/noscript?k=" & recaptcha_public_key & """ frameborder=""1""></iframe><>" & _
"<textarea name=""recaptcha_challenge_field"" rows=""3"" cols=""40""></textarea>" & _
"<input type=""hidden"" name=""recaptcha_response_field""value=""manual_challenge"">" & _
""
end function
' returns "" if correct, otherwise it returns the error response
function recaptcha_confirm(rechallenge,reresponse)
Dim VarString
VarString = _
"privatekey=" & recaptcha_private_key & _
"&remoteip=" & Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR") & _
"&challenge=" & rechallenge & _
"&response=" & reresponse
Dim objXmlHttp
Set objXmlHttp = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP")
objXmlHttp.open "POST", "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/verify", False
objXmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
objXmlHttp.send VarString
Dim ResponseString
ResponseString = split(objXmlHttp.responseText, vblf)
Set objXmlHttp = Nothing
if ResponseString(0) = "true" then
'They answered correctly
recaptcha_confirm = ""
else
'They answered incorrectly
recaptcha_confirm = ResponseString(1)
end if
end function
server_response = ""
newCaptcha = True
if (recaptcha_challenge_field <> "" or recaptcha_response_field <> "") then
server_response = recaptcha_confirm(recaptcha_challenge_field, recaptcha_response_field)
newCaptcha = False
end if
%>
in my form, above the submit button I have this code :
<%=recaptcha_challenge_writer()%>
Now to the ASP page that checks the form.
On the top of the page I have this :
if server_response <> "" or newCaptcha then
Erreur="oui"
else
Erreur="non"
end if
response.write "erreur : "&erreur
But...erreur is always = non whatever the value of the captcha field is.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong
Thanks in advance
