I have come across this question several times, you need to do some performance testing (request process times, load times, etc) or track unhanded exceptions. The answers usually come down to writing a HTTP Module, hook into specific events and log them somewhere, or use the built in health monitoring?
Why would we use one over the other? What are the pros and cons?
If I want to have log of all requests made within a web site including any http bad requests, is this possible?
For e.g I want to be able to see if every http request from the site including any for images that don't exist etc.
All the things an IIS log has.
Is this possible with HTTP Module or something like the ASP.net Health monitoring?
I've set up the health monitoring system to output to the event log. Everything is working fine, though I'm wondering if there is a way to:
A) Define the event source as my application name (it currently appears as ASP.NET 2.0.50727.0)
B) Adjust the level of severity. Currently, all events are recorded as a "Warning", and it would be nice to tag some as "Error".
I've got my e-mail health monitoring working fine (removed here) but when I try to get it into SQL Server it fails. When I run the stored procedure (aspnet_WebEvent_LogEvent) manualy it works OK. But nothing happens when I create an error (but I go get my health monitoring e-mail). What can I have missed?
View 1 RepliesI was going to use ELMAH for our ultimate automatic error logging but recently realized that ASP.NET Health Monitoring does a same work (perhaps). Now I want to know (please) if they are alternatives of each other just like log4net and entlib?
View 3 RepliesWith out sounding lazy, does anyone know of a good asp page that links into the health monitoring results in sql server?

I'm trying to create an HTTP gzip/deflate module, but when I'm trying to get the Accept-Encoding header it returns null, I tried in IE8, FF, Chrome and Opera.
View 2 RepliesIf I make a http module it only catches .aspx files. Files with other extensions (.js, .htm) are ignored.
Does this have anything to do with IIS?
Strangely enough all extensions are caught on the ASP.net Web Development Server but not when hosted in IIS.
I have a HTTP module that I have written that needs to access the session. I have done the following:Module is registered in web.config Module attaches my method call to the PostAcquireRequestState event The module implement IRequiresSessionState However, when my page doesn't have an extension (i.e. as when htp://www.mywebsite.com) the session is not available and my code fails. If the page does have an aspx extension then all is ok.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;[code]....
and than nothing happened. what's wrong with it, how to debugg it?
EDIT: just found out that im running in classic mode. and it works fo web.config corrected for that mode.
Is it possible to create an http module without making an entry into the web.config or GAC?
View 1 RepliesCan anyone tell me if there is a way to convert all URL's to lowercase using an Http Module for URL rewriting? For example www.homeforhire.com/Home.aspx should be converted to lowercase.
I cannot use the IIS7 URL Rewriter because I need to perform database lookups as part of my URL rewriting.
I have researched this extensively but have not had any luck finding a solution.
The only alternative I can think of is to use a dynamically created canonical link in my page headers.
Our site uses urlRewriter http module that does the url rewriting for us. I want to create another http module that will handle our customize URL redirects. Now I want this new customize http module to be call before the UrlRewriter module (to avoid page not found messages the UrlRewriter generates). Is there a way we can contol the calling order ?

I don't want to force the whole site to use https by turning on require SSL in IIS.
Can I use the IIS7 URL rewrite module to re-route http requests to https?
Is it possible to debug the init event from a http module? If I set breakpoints, they don't get triggered.
View 2 RepliesI have an ASP.NET web forms site using Master Pages. It is using Unity as my IoC container. I have created an HTTP Module to build up the container using a couple of tutorials i found online. I need the dependency injection to work for User Controls and the only way i was able to get this to work was to hook into the Pages PreInit event as can be seen from the code below.
[code]....
I also have autoeventwireup set to true on the pages and master page. Can anyone shed any light on why the events are not firing? Is my Unity http module causing this to happen by dropping the event wiring? I can get this to work no problem in a basic example with no IoC involved.
I am making a Http Module for authentication in my web application in asp.net 2.0. When the AuthticateRequest event is fired then I get the userid and password values from current request. But Every time I am getting null in both. My code is here
[code]....
I am writing a custom HTTP module to implement user authentication and appropriate access rights. And for identifying access rights for the user also depends on identifying the client's machine details like IP address, machine name, etc. The access rights will depend based on from which location or machine the user is trying to login.
Can we get these details from the HttpApplication or HttpContext object?
I have the following setting in my web.config to redirect to a default page:
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<clear/>
<add value="default.aspx"/>
</files>
</defaultDocument>
For example when a user enters www.homeforhire.com they should be redirected to default.aspx (for operational reasons the user is then redirected to
www.homeforhire.com/home.aspx).
Instead an error is caught in the Rewrite module (which should not be activated). I am using an http module to perform URL rewriting.
It appears as if the default document setup is not working correctly, and the requested page ~/ is being sent to the Rewrite module, causing an error (which is then caught by my error handler and the user is redirected to the home page).
Entering www.homeforhire.com/default.aspx works correctly.
Can anyone tell me why the default document settings in the web.config do not appear to be working?
it possible to use an application event to save the username in a session variable? I would like to do something like this:
private void ContextOnBeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs){
if (_context.Request.IsAuthenticated)
_context.Session["ID"] = _context.User.Identity.Name;
}
However in the above code I get an error saying that Session state is not available.
I have a http module at root level which resolves to the virtual directory which is a .net application on some conditions as below.
I need the have the httpmodule at root level only for some requirements.
application.Context.RewritePath("/virtualdirecotry/root/pages/sample/sample.aspx", String.Empty, "");
the sample.aspx page uses a master page as below
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Root/Pages/Master/Site.Master"
as it uses the relative path the http module is unable to understand the path and throwing following error
The file '/Root/Pages/Master/Site.Master' does not exist.
