If you have <img src=""> on your page, the image load will result in another web request to the page that was originally loaded. Is there a way (in ASP.NET) to detect that the web request was the result of being loaded for an <img> tag like this?
The only difference I can find is the HTTP_ACCEPT value of */* for <IMG> requests, vs. a limited HTTP_ACCEPT value for the actual page request.
I'm trying to prevent a "flicker" effect that is occurring on my ASP.NET page which occurs when a user navigates to the page via the browser back button after having navigated away from it. The reason for the flicker is that I'm using an Update Panel which has some content in there on the initial page-load. As a result, when the page is loaded via a back button that initial content is shown very briefly before it is updated with the correct History-aware data.
In order to overcome this I am intending on having the updatepanel hidden (display: none) on inital page load and then show it as long as we don't have any history to deal with. The problem is that I can't find out what to check to determine if there's any history. I can see that the Sys.Application has a _history member but when I'm checking it on page init it is null each time.Does anyone know what I should be checking to determine if there's history to deal with for a page load client-side? And at what point to do it?
I have written a HttpModule for our site which generally accepts requests and checks for specific file extensions as well as the value of a specific session variable. Is it possible to detect the first request in a session?
View 1 RepliesIs there no way to detect if the current request is being mapped via ASP.NET 4.0 URL routing?
I have an HTTP module that handles the application's BeginRequest event. I have found that this handler is called for all file types, including CSS, JS, image files, etc., and I just want to perform an action if the target file is an ASPX page.
In the case of routed pages, all the properties of the HttpRequest object reflect the requested URL, and not the ASPX page that the request is being mapped to. How can I determine if the request will be handled by an ASPX file?
I'm implementing a custom page caching solution and I don't want the request to be cached or retrieved from the cache if it's in response to a form submission or some sort of asp.net postback.I'm trying to figure out if the current HttpRequest is a postback. Is there a way of doing this outside the context of a page or other usercontrol? In otherwords if I'm inside an HttpModule I don't have access to this.IsPostBack but I still need to determine if it is in fact a postback.
View 5 RepliesWe're migrating an application to use IIS7 integrated mode. In library code that is designed to work either within the context of an HTTP request or not, we commonly have code like this:
if (HttpContext.Current != null &&
HttpContext.Current.Request != null) {
// do something with HttpContext.Current.Request
} else {
// do equivalent thing without HttpContext..
}
But in IIS7 integrated mode the check for HttpContext.Current.Request throws an exception whenever this code is called from Application_Start.
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SomeLibrary.DoSomethingWithHttpContextCurrentDetection();
}
Results in:
System.Web.HttpException: Request is not available in this context
How can I detect whether the request is really available without wrapping these calls in an exception handler and taking action based on whether an exception is generated or not.
Looking at HttpContext in Reflector I see it has an internal bool HideRequestResponse field but it's internal so I can only get to it with reflection and that's fragile. Is there a more official/approved way to determine if it's ok to call HttpContext.Request?
This blog post about the subject says not to use HttpContext, but how, in generic library code, can you determine if it's ok to use HttpContext?
http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/11/10/Integrated-mode-Request-is-not-available-in-this-context-in-Application_5F00_Start.aspx
I'm using the work-around mentioned there which is to use Application_BeginRequest and an initialized field to only initialize once as part of BeginRequest, but that has to be done in every calling application whereas I'd prefer to make the library code more robust and handle this situation regardless of where it's called from.

View 4 RepliesWe're trying to implement functionality that intercepts, inspects, and alters if needed data in the Request.QueryString and Request.Form collections.
Since Request.QueryString and Request.Form are readonly, is it possible to use a HttpModule to do this without Reflection or Response.Redirect?
We're thinking that we can construct a new HttpRequest, and replace the original one. Would there be any implications in doing this?
I know mocking this object is impossible without using HttpRequestWrapper, but wasn't sure whether ASP.NET sets other things beyond the constructor.

View 4 RepliesIs it at all possible to inject a request into IIS for a page, have IIS and ASP.Net handle it as normal, but get the response as html handed back to me programmatically?
Yes, I know that I could connect to port 80 using WebRequest and WebResponse, but that becomes difficult if you are accessing the IIS server from the same physical machine (loopback security controls et al).
Basically, I want to inject the request (eg for [URL]) between the points at which IIS would normally talk to the browser, and the point at which it would route it to the correct ASP.Net application, and get a response back from IIS between the points at which ASP.Net/IIS applies the httpfilters and hands the html back to the browser.
I'm predominantly working with IIS7 so if there is a solution that works just for IIS7 then thats not an issue.
This is a input
<input type="image" src="<%=Url.Content("~/images/shopping-cart.jpg")%>" alt="shopping cart" id="btnshoppingCart" name="btnshoppingCart" value="shoppingCart" />
when i browse the page with firefox and click on the input Request.Params["btnshoppingCart"] != null or Request.Form["btnshoppingCart"] != null is statisfied.
When i browse the same page with internet explorer 8 and click on the same input Request.Params["btnshoppingCart"] != null or Request.Form["btnshoppingCart"] != null is not satisfied. When i used the watch i saw that there is no key by the name of "btnshoppingCart" in either Request.Form or Request.Params if input is clicked from internet explorer. However when it is clicked from firefox there is value "shoppingCart" inside Request.Form and Request.Params against "btnshoppingCart" key. One more strange thing that i observed was that are two keys "btnshoppingCart.x" and "btnshoppingCart.y" inside both Request.Form and Request.Params whenver clicking is done from both internet explorer and firefox. This is happening against all inputs of type image irrespective if the input is present inside a html form or not. Forms are created like this
<% using (Html.BeginForm("Action", "Controller", FormMethod.Post)){%>
The version of internet explorer is 8.0 and firefox is 3.6.6
I there a way to know if a request is a soap request on AuthenticateRequest event for HttpApplication? Checking ServerVariables["HTTP_SOAPACTION"] seems to not be working all the time.
public void Init(HttpApplication context) {
context.AuthenticateRequest += new EventHandler(AuthenticateRequest);
}
protected void AuthenticateRequest(object sender, EventArgs e) {
app = sender as HttpApplication;
if (app.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_SOAPACTION"] != null) {
// a few requests do not enter here, but my webservice class still executing
// ...
}
}
I have disabled HTTP POST and HTTP GET for webservices in my web.config file.
<webServices>
<protocols>
<remove name="HttpGet" />
<remove name="HttpPost" />
<add name="AnyHttpSoap" />
</protocols>
</webServices>
Looking at ContentType for soap+xml only partially solves my problem. For example,
Cache-Control: no-cache
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 1131
Content-Type: text/xml
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept-Language: ro
Host: localhost
mymethod: urn:[URL]
Some clients instead of having the standard header SOAPAction: [URL], have someting like in example above. "mymethod" represents the method in my web service class with [WebMethod] attribute on it and [URL] is the namespace of the webservice. Still the service works perfectly normal. The consumers use different frameworks (NuSOAP from PHP, .NET, Java, etc).
I develop an asmx web service (i.e. ASP.NET 2.0). There's a piece of code that may read the contents of the HTTP request (via HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream) while processing it. I realise that InputStream may only be read once for a request, and I make sure I never try to read it more than once.
The problem seems to be that if InputStream happens to be read during the early stages of the application's lifecycle (e.g. after pskill w3wp, during Application_Start), the HTTP request fails with a HTTP 400 - Bad Request error, with no explanation given, no exception thrown and no entry in the httperr log. If it is read later (e.g. within the web method itself), requests run fine whether InputStream is read or not. Application_Start runs fine if InputStream isn't read.
Is this some sort of ASP.NET bug? IIS bug? Or am I doing something wrong by daring to read InputStream? And if so, is there another way to get a look at the "raw" contents of the request without disturbing the inner workings of IIS/ASP.NET? In short, adding this code within Application_Start is enough to reproduce this error: using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream))reader.ReadToEnd();
I want to component to upload large filesP.How can I bypass request size и request processing time restrictions?

1) I notice that the module gets it's data in chunks. This is problematic for me because I'm using a regex to find and replace. If I get a partial match in one chunk and the rest of the match in the second, it will not work. Is there any way to get the entire response before I do my thing to it? I have seen code where it appends data to a string builder until it uses a matches on an "" end tag but my code must work for more that just (xml, custom tags, etc). I don't know how to detect the End Of Stream or if that is even possible.
