d) Use a cron job to execute code that sends an http request to an ASP page on the server? (Even though this works great, it seems wrong somehow).
This is the right way.
All the cron job has to do kick off the event:
*/5 * * * * wget -O /dev/null http://localhost/dosomething.asp
All the code to actually dosomething is on the ASP side, hence you have access to all the ASP variables.
The main problem with this method is that you may need to hide dosomething.asp in an .htpasswd protected directory so outsiders can't call it. Use wget's --http-user and --http-passwd flags to call the protected script.
