Disable Website To Respond Request Except Static Files?
Nov 2, 2010
I have 2 website on my IIS which have the same physical location on disk. Example:
www.xxx.com path on disk : c:wwwxxx.com
img.xxx.com path on disk : c:wwwxxx.com
I want that img.xxx.com only response for static files like images, css and js files.
My main goal is to serve static files from a cookieless domain (using img.xxx.com for cookieless requests). But if I write img.xxx.com to browser i see the same content with www.xxx.com. I want to block all request to img.xxx.com except images, css and js request.
I don't want to set another folder for img.xxx.com because it is very hard for me to change all images url to new url.
I am new to MVC. I am using MVC and VS2010. I am trying to publish my website to a remote server. All files are copied except some static pages i have kept inside a folder. for e.g. i have a folder named Content. I have around 5 .pdf files inside this folder and also a .css. When i do Build->Publish <appname> all the files including the .css is copied but not the .pdfs.
I took a copy of a website that works fine on a server (done have server access) but when I set up a website in IIS7 and run the classic asp code loading a page is taking nearly a minute. It always loads the pages but just takes forever.
I have a website written in C# and when a user does something I want to be able to send an IM message to an admin and allow the admin to respond to approve/deny the request.
I would like to use something like MSN Messenger or AIM so that the IM messages can also be sent to phones as sms.
i have a website, which i have designed almost 3 months ago. it is totally html site and no database is used. basically it is a site having PDF books on it. i have more then 300 books on my website. but now i want to change my website into dynamic asp.net, so that i can easily handle my data of over 300 books. is there any tool available to convert the site? or i have to make the site from start?
I have a class that is creating an instance of StreamReader to an xml file on the local filesystem. It may be possible that this same file is requested multiple times per-second.
I was wondering whether I need to manually add this file to the System.Web.Cache and read it from there, or whether Windows itself is clever enough to cache the item itself so that it 'knows' when ASP.NET requests this file the second/third etc time that it doesnt have to do a disk seek/read operation and pulls it from its own cache?
This article: http://dotnetperls.com/file-read-benchmarks seems to back this up, but this: article:
[URL](although not discussing from a performance perspective, and maybe for other reasons entirely) lists how to add a physical file to the cache.
I use a Masterpage (asp.net webforms) on my site and I woluld like to implement caching of some static files, like javascript, css etc.
I've tried adding the following to my page_load (in the masterpage) but when I use Fiddler the static files are still under "no-cache".
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Set cache for 1 hour on all computers and servers. // ... Proxies, browsers, and your server will cache it. Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Public); Response.Cache.SetMaxAge(new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0)); }
I just want the url /style/style.css to point to another static file on the webserver..
I'm getting this error:
There is no build provider registered for the extension '.css'. You can register one in the <compilation><buildProviders> section in machine.config or web.config. Make sure is has a BuildProviderAppliesToAttribute attribute which includes the value 'Web' or 'All'.
I have a website running on a IIS 7.5 server with ASP.NET 4.0 on a shared host, but in full trust.
The site is a basic "file browser" that allows the visitors to login and have a list of files available to them displayed, and, obviously, download the files. The static files (mostly pdf files) are located in a sub folder on the site called data, e.g. http://example.com/data/...
The site uses ASP.NET form authentication.
My question is: How do I get the ASP.NET engine to handle the requests for the static files in the data folder, so that request for files are authenticated by ASP.NET, and users are not able to deep link to a file and grab files they are not allowed to have?
I had a look through some of the older questions, but I can't find anything.I have a Wildcard HttpHandler on my web app which is processing the url and working out if it can do anything with itIf it can't, then the StaticFile Handler should pick it up and just serve it as a static file (like an html file).The problem is, it's going through the Wildcard handler, then seemingly not going to the StaticFileHander. Is there something I need to do to the Wildcard handler, or in the web config?This is my web.config:
I was under the impression that static files (CSS, images, @font-face files, etc) bypassed ASP.NET completely, and were served directly by IIS. However, my BeginRequest event handler is being called for every HTTP request, including those for static files. This concerns me because I'm creating an Entity Framework data context to be used for the lifetime of each request in that event handler. I don't want to create those contexts if they're never going to be used.
I'm using IIS 7 on Windows 7 Ultimate with so special handler mappings defined. Do I have it wrong? Should these events be firing?
Our old ASP.net site stored static images in a sub directory on the root called /images.
Our new ASP.net MVC site stores these images in the new layout of /Content/Images
I've changed all the pages in the site to cope with the new folder structure, but I'd like to set up Permanent Redirects from the old static images to the new location.
We're having the same setup and receiving the same problem as:
[URL]
Setup Server 2003 32bit, IIS 6 ASP.NET wild card mapping
A virtual directory mapped to an UNC share serving static images for a CMS in a load balancing environment
My question if it's possible to turn off asp.net from virtual and only serve static files e.g. images in the virtual directory, to avoid the problem with too many open connections?
If it's not possible I'll guess I have to implement a solution like [URL] to server the files from a local disc.
I found a possible solution at [URL] that removes the wild card mapping and makes it possible to turn of execution of asp.net files.
I realise that this is going to be a fairly niche requirement and will almost certainly raise a few "WTF's" but here goes...
Within an ASP.NET Webforms application I need to serve static content from a local client machine in order to reduce up-front bandwidth requirements as much as possible (Security policy has disabled all Browser caching). The idea is to serve CSS, images and JavaScript files from a location on the local file system referenced by filesystem links from within the Web application (Yes, I know, WTF's galore but that's how it is). The application itself will effectively be an Intranet app that's hosted externally from a client but restricted by IP range along with standard username/password security. So it's pretty much a hybrid Internet/Intranet application but we can easily roll out packages of files to client machines. I am not suggesting that we expect nor require public clients to download packages of files. We have control to an extent over the client machines in terms of the local filesystem and so on but we cannot change the caching policy.
We're using UpdatePanel controls to perform partial page updates which obviously means that we need to Microsoft AJAX JavaScript files. Presently these are being served (as standard) by a standard resource handler within IIS/ASP.NET. Ideally I would like to be able to take these JS files and reference them statically from a client machine, and no longer serve them via an AXD.
My questions are:Is this possible?If it is possible, how do we go about doing so?
In order to attempt to pre-empt some WTF's the requirement stems from attempting to service a requirement with as little time and effort as possible whilst a more suitable solution is developed. I'm aware that we can lighten the load, we can switch to jQuery AJAX updates, we can rewrite the front-end in MVC etc. but my question is related to what we can quickly deploy with our existing application architecture.
Does precompilation have any effect on XML files? i.e. can I obscure/protect xml files using precompilation? I assume that it has no effect as they aren't code.
If I use XML files as Embedded Resources, they appear in the DLL in a text editor as normal text. If the dll is edited and saved using a text editor, will it still work if it is unsigned?
I want to create the static website, but the user wants that to create the static website with the functionality that he or she can edit the text directly. I want to use Open CMS,Can Somebody tell me how to install CMS & how to use CMS?
I am using asp.net 3.5 with C#. I have registered my application in google analytics and it is successfully showing my statics. But I want to integrate that statics into my website, is their any way I can do it.
How to display yahoo static map in ASP.Net gridview control? The address for loading the map will be present in one of the columns of gridview and based on the address of each row the static map has to be displayed on each row.
I have a class which implements IHttpHandler that is designed to handle image resize requests. It handles Urls like so [URL] Currently the handler looks for myimg.jpg on disk, cuts a 100x100 thumbnail (if it isn't already present) and redirects the client to the thumbnail like so Response.RedirectPermanent("/some/virtualPath/to/thumbnail.jpg");
This has been working great, but I would like to avoid forcing the client to issue a second HTTP request. Is it safe to do the following? Server.Transfer("/some/virtualPath/to/thumbnail.jpg") All the MSDN documentation talks about using Server.Transfer() to redirect to an aspx page, so I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do or not.
I have a requirement to add a new asp.net functionality to an existing static html web site.Its about adding few text boxes and connecting to database and displaying information on the html web site.Is it possible to merge html and asp.net on a html web site?
I am building a web application that will not only require a standard user/pass authentication, but users will need to reside at certain locations to authenticate. My initial thought is to have those locations set up with static ips, that I can look for in the request for authentication. I am mostly a programmer and not an expert in http and iis. I am hoping to get some good advice as to what the pros and cons to this approach will be. Also, VPN to the web server is not an option. This web application will be exposed to the web.
I want to make a 2nd website and am using a copy of the site files from my 1st site built for me, I added them via FTP to the hosting company. I realise when I edit the new site via the CMS it is editing both sites plus when I try to change anything to the CSS file I get the following error -
So my questions are what do I need to change to be able to deploy a new site with the files I have to make a new site?I also don't understand where the password is coming from, I can see the User ID comes from the database. in the Asp.net connection strings are the following:
site Data Source=sql7.hostinguk.net;Initial Catalog=***;User ID=***;Password=*** - Where is this password coming from?
membership Data Source=sql7.hostinguk.net;User ID=***;Password=***;persist security info=False;initial catalog=***;
