In my web application I use an ashx file to write a file to the browser. I've noticed that there's no compression over the .ashx file, but only over my .aspx files.
Is it possible to compress .ashx? And if it is possible, how?
Currently I use global.asax to handle the compression:
As you can see only files which inherit from 'Page' are compressed, and my ashx file is not of type Page. So I added a condition and now it works just fine:
if (!(app.Context.CurrentHandler is Page ||
app.Context.CurrentHandler.GetType().Name == "SyncSessionlessHandler" ||
app.Context.CurrentHandler is ViewMht // This is the type I had to add
) ||
app.Request["HTTP_X_MICROSOFTAJAX"] != null)
return;
I able to upload my file through uploadify + .ashx, but the problem is I always get ContentType = application/octet-streamLets say I upload an image, I expected to return me "image/pjpeg", but it always return "application/octet-stream" no matter what file I uploaded.how to get the correct contentType in .ashx
I have to let the user downloads a big text file.. By now I'm compressing the file with ".gz" (GZipStream)... And then the user can unzip in his machine.. But some users can't decompress the .gz extension.. And I wonder if there is any way to compress using zip..

In the past, with pages with large viewstate I have overridden the PageStatePersister class so when the state is saved I compress it. On Load I decompress it. I have haven't really thought about it, but could IIS handle something like this better? The reason I did this was to keep my pages slimmer because I have a lot of custom controls on the page and the viewstate was huge. This is where I got my original code from:[URL]
What is the best library/software to compress the dynamically generated javascript on server? I use javascriptzip to do so statically. Any solution for .Net platform? P.S. compression involves removing unnecessary spaces + language compression like changing new Object() into { }
I am trying to upload large videos(more than 1GB) to youtube from webpage. But youtube is allowing me to upload max 8MB videos. So I want to reduce the size of the video and then upload the reduced video to youtube. So, how to reduce the video size.
we're looking to compress our gargantuan JavaScript files with GZip to speed up the page loads of our site. I know this can be done through IIS, but I can't seem to find a simple step-by-step guide on how to implement it.We're running IIS7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2.
Actually the handler never gets called. I already searched the forums and tried some tips and hints. But nothing of that worked. Try to call the url via[URL]
There is an ashx file containing "ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)" method which gets triggered automatically. When and how does it get fired?Another question, How can I get the current QueryString when I am inside this file? When I type "context.Request.QueryString" it says it's null or empty although the address have arguments.
I've got a simple ASHX handler that returns an dynamically generated image; the image is generated from a custom created class, and an object belonging to this class is passed to the handler using Session (I'd rather avoid using QueryString).The handler is used as the URL of an image on a ASP form which is very simple: a drop down list, a button and an image. Basically, depending on what the user selects from the list, the appropriate image will be generated once the button is pressed.
At the start the actual image has it's Visible property set to false; I don't want the handler to display anything before the data is all there.Once the button is pressed, the required Session parameter is added containing the necessary object, and the page is refreshed using Server.Transfer. When the Page_load method detects that the Session parameter has been correctly set, it sets the Visible parameter on the image to true.After that the handler fires up and generates the image.
So far so good... However, if the user now picks something different from the list and presses the button, despite the correct object being passed in the Session, the image won't be updated. In fact, the handler won't even fire up (if I put a breakpoint in there). I need to close the browser window and reopen it for it to work.Any ideas what could be the cause of such behaviour?I suspect the answer is very simple, and I just don't know something fundamental about ASP (or handlers)...
My web site has a handler (FileDownload.ashx) that deals with all file download requests. I've recently migrated my site to ASP.Net 4.0, and it now uses routing extensively. Everything works fine when dealing with page requests (aspx), but it's not working with my handler - I encounter the following error:
Type '<snip>.Handlers.FileDownload' does not inherit from 'System.Web.UI.Page'.
This makes sense, as routing is only implemented in the page. So, my question is, what steps do I need to take to be able to use routing and my ASHX together? I want to be able to extract RouteData.Values from the url.
