In IIS7, What Happens Between Application_BeginRequest And Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute
Feb 17, 2011
I've got some tracing statements with timestamps on an ASP.Net IIS application that gets a lot of traffic. I've got trace statements at the end of Application_BeginRequest and the beginning of Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute in my Global.asax. Occasionally there is a big delay between the end of BeginRequest and the start of PreRequestHandlerExecute, i.e. more than 5 seconds.
What is going on in the lifecycle of an HttpRequest between these two method calls that could be taking so long? This is IIS7 on Windows Server 2008.
I fill a third-pard component variable in Global.Application_BeginRequest(). Everything is fine until I set IIS7 into the Integrated mode. In that case the method Application_BeginRequest() is not called (Application_Start is ok).May be some module is registered wrong?(I have found a same problem here on forum, but without a solution:[URL]
I have two versions of a website. One runs on IIS server on a local PC, the other runs on the ASP.NET development environment included on Visual Studio (localhost). Apart from that, the file stucture of both is the same, although only the one running on IIS works properly, and this seems to be related to the fact that the IIS version calls Application_BeginRequest() where the other doesn't.
I've looked at the differences between IIS server and the ASP development environment in: [URL], and it says that IIS and the ASP development server deal with static content in that for IIS in that on IIS static content does not go through the ASP.NET runtime like it does on the dev environment (but I'm not sure exactly what this means).
I've done a number of tests involving images, etc, and have noticed that when the image is of the form:
<img src="Image/MyImage.jpg...>
the IIS server version calls Application_BeginRequest(), but the visual studio development environment version doesn't.
In my case, it is necessary to call Application_BeginRequest because this creates a new path and calls RewritePath().
The problem occurs when using links such as <a href="..." ...>, because if I use static content it won't call Application_BeginRequest() and the path won't be re-written. But If I change it to href=" %=ResolveUrl("~/...")%>" (for some reason, it will only call BeginRequest() if the path begins with a tilde ~), the path is re-written incorrectly.
I'm not really sure how to find out why the IIS version is calling Application_BeginRequest() from all the time (the callstack just says "external code"), or why it is calling it whereas the local dev server version isn't.
If anybody can explain this, or knows of any sites that go into this so I can master the basics, I'd be very grateful.
I've seen a few posts about Application_BeginRequest, but non seems to have my problem.
My Application_BeginRequest is being called for every image in my website.
The StaticFile Handler is enabled with * as the Path, but it's at the end of the list.
Is this the normal behaviour? Or should I add .gif, .jpg and so on on top of the list?
This is on my IIS7.5 Win7 Development Server. Didn't check it on the production server yet.
Update: Setting runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests=false would help. But then the ASP.NET URL Mapping does not work anymore. I tried disable it just for the image directly, but that had no effect?
I have a site with multiple domains pointing to it. I wanted to redirect all requests to main domain so I've created a method called RedirectToRealDomain("domain.com") to check and redirect all requests to my preferred domainAt the moment it lives on Session_Start but I am planing to move it to Application_BeginRequest event. As I understand Session_Start only raised when new session started but Application_BeginRequest raised on all requests. RedirectToRealDomain method doesn't do any DB lookups or anything expensive apart from comparing strings.
I'm trying to get a reference to the user object in my Global.asax file's Application_BeginRequest. I'm using the property Context.User but I get a NullReferenceException. Is it possible to get a user object reference in Application_BeginRequest?
I am trying to create a 404 handling page but I am now stuck with the page only working for .aspx files, which isn't really what I need.I am running on IIS6.The site has a wildcard mapping,for extensionless URLs.All requests go through Application_BeginRequest in Global.asax but not all errors go through Application_Error.Is there a way where I can get the Application_Error to raise for non .aspx files?
We are obesrving strange problems when performing sress test of our applciation. We use Application_BeginRequest and Application_EndRequest to log the beginning and end of the web request, together, with the thread id.
However, from our logs, we see that Application_Begin_REquest is not being fired:
We use the following code to do the logging in global.asax.cs:
You can see that there are two "End request" in the last two lines, but there is no (Begin) Request for the last log line.Our Dbg.WriteLine uses System.Diagnostics trace listeners to ouput data to the file.
Environment: Windows Server 2008 R2, ASP.NET 3.5
This only happens when performin stress test. CPU utilization is around 60%, there are max 10 concurent requests executing.
UPDATE: I have found out that some other also did have similar problems (althoug in different configuration:
http://forums.iis.net/t/1154954.aspx) Matej
UPDATE#2: This night be related to fact, that Thread.GetHashCode() which is used to print out the thread identifier in our log fies could change. See ASP.NET - Thread.GetHashCode() changes
I created a web service on localhost, and I tried to call it from a web app (also on the localhost) via HttpWebRequest, but Application_BeginRequest in Global.asax didn't fire. When I type in IE 'http://localhost:8010/Test/' (the web service) Application_BeginRequest fires. Where is the problem? How can I test a localhost web service from a page which is also on localhost?
I have a problem using Application_BeginRequest and I have absolutely no clue what is going on. When using this code, my website works fine:
[Code]....
Now, when I only alter it like this (note that I am actually doing nothing special):
[Code]....
This small change in code causes that forms don't postback anymore. I am truely clueless why this happens when trying to get some request.form variables.Stupid thing is, when debugging the website using visual studio, everything works fine.
Is there a way to retrieving parameter names and values passed to a web method from Request object? I've read somewhere that you need extra code to access the soap body. Any known workarounds to be able to see the soap body from Application_BeginRequest?
I want to protect one file in a subdirectory with Global.asax. (I know that this isn't the conventional way of going about this) but it works on my computer and not on the server.I have a global.asax file in my root dir and Application_BeginRequest checks if the user is requesting a particular file. If they are logged in, it allows access. If they are not logged in they are redirected to the default page.My problem is this: My code works on my personal computer but does not work on the server. Do I have to configure a setting in the web.config or adjust something on the server? Code:
Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Dim fullOrigionalpath As String = Request.Url.ToString.ToLower 'PROTECTED FILE If fullOrigionalpath.Contains("/uploads/groups.xls") Then If HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated = False Then Response.Redirect("~/login.aspx") End If End Sub
I am doing some redirecting of old url in global.asax's application_beginrequest. Redirecting works fine when getting the url's using an http get but not when using an http head request.
I want to implement hit tracking in an HttpModule in my ASP.NET app. Pretty simple, I thought. However, the BeginRequest event of my HttpModule is firing twice for each page hit. The site is very simple right now...no security, just a bit of database work. Should log one row per page hit. Why is this event firing twice?
Moreover, IHttpModule.BeginRequest actually fires a different number of times for the first page hit when running for the first time (from a closed web browser)...3 times when I'm hitting the DB to provide dynamic data for the page, and only 1 time for pages where the DB isn't hit. It fires 2 times for every page hit after the first one, regardless of whether or not I'm touching the DB.
It's interesting to note that Application_BeginRequest (in Global.asax) is always firing only once.
This may be obvious to many of you (hopefully!) I have a site under asp.net created using Visual Web Developer 2008 and MSSQL 2007 (all express editions)All ok so far.My PSP requires the addition of a couple of traditional ASP 'screens' to redirect payments to them. I cannot run this under VWD2008 development server as .asp are not allowed, so am looking to move to running it locally under IIS7 which is turned on.How do I alter the site to run on the IIS7 instance?
Using ASP.Net, I am trying to determine the actual URL requested by the user. For example if I type the following into my address bar: [URL] Fiddler shows me that this is the URL being sent over the wire however by the time it reaches ASP.Net all of the variables in HttpContext.Current.Request are showing this URL: [URL] The IIS logs show the same cleaned up version of the URL as ASP.Net. This causes some of the relative links on the site to break so I would like to at least detect and log these requests. I am using IIS7 on Windows 7 and .Net 3.5 SP1. What is doing this translation and how can I find out the original URL?
I wanna do some local developer tests of IIS 7 but I don't have Windows Vista, 7 or 2008 server - I currently run XP SP3. I have Virtual PC installed so I can use Microsoft's IE compatibility images - are there any time-limited images that I can use with Virtual PC so I can check out IIS 7? The IIS 7 "Try it" link points to this page. But the VHS is for Windows Server platforms only I think and I don't want an ISO?
I have developed a website named MyWebsite. All the .aspx and .aspx.cs files and the App_Code folder resides in C:MyWebsite folder.
I have IIS 7 installed on my PC (OS windows 7 professional). I developed the site in visual studio 2005 in c# and used sql server 2005.
Now I want to set up a web server on my pc and host this site so that i can access this site from this or any other computer on the network.
I searched the internet and found many articles on it. Accordingly I tried to add a new site through the IIS Manager dialog box. But things did not work out.
I'm seeing an issue of some static pages that are using the browser cache, which is not desired. To prevent caching, I'm setting
<clientCache cacheControlMode="DisableCache" />
in the relevant <location> tag in web.config
If I open the page in Firebug (in the Net tab), I see that the Response headers have Cache-Control: no-cache which is correct, but the status of the Response is 304 Not Modified! Isn't that a contradiction? How can I get it to stop caching (i.e. always send a 200 with content)?
I had an ASP.net project and I've copied and pasted the source files to another computer, but when I try and run them on this computers localhost:
