I need to I can make the web request to a webservice which take a XML argument. And is expected to return a Binary response. I am able to make the request but while recieving the response back I am unable to get the response in binary. When I read the response
using streamreader see the header and some attached "HEBRISH" words probably binary but unable to sepreate it out. Please help in seprating out the binary the response data.
I am using an SMS Gateway to make my application receive SMSs. For this, the SMS Gateway sends a request to one of the pages in my application with the message as a querystring parameter. eg.[URL]. Now after my page gets invoked, I need to send an OK response to the SMS Gateway so that it doesn't keep retrying to send the same message to my application again and again. I cannot figure out how to send the OK response.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to the following to return xml response from an http request
Code:
Try
Dim id As String = Request.QueryString("id")
Dim xmlOut As String = ""
cn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=192.168.1.2;Initial Catalog=db;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=pass"
dad = New SqlDataAdapter("select * from tbl where id = '" & id & "'", cn)

Is there some other way to do this without having to resort to writing the xml to a temp file on C drive and reading it again to display the output ?
When I use WatiN to go to a specific web page, how can I fake the HTTP referrer with a query string (i.e. request is from google search with query string q=search_term)? So I can verify that the response header has the 301 redirect for specific referrer URL.

View 4 RepliesI 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) {

I have disabled HTTP POST and HTTP GET for webservices in my web.config file.

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();
Is 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.
I am trying to get a control (not a controller -- a subclass of System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl), that can be used that I wrote for ASP.NET to work in an ASP.NET MVC environment. Normally, the control does the normal thing, and that works fine
Sometimes it needs to respond by clearing the response, writing an image to the response stream and changing the content type. When you do this, you get an exception "OutputStream is not available when a custom TextWriter is used".
If I were a page or controller, I see how I can create custom responses with binary data, but I can't see how to do this from inside a control's render functions. To simplify it -- imagine I want to make a web control that renders to:
<img src="pageThatControlIsOn?controlImage">
And I know how to look at incoming requests and recognize query strings that should be routed to the control. Now the control is supposed to respond with a generated image (content-type: image/png -- and the encoded image). In ASP.NET, we:
Response.Clear();
Response.OutputStream.Write(thePngData); // this throws in MVC
// set the content type, etc
Response.End();
How am I supposed to do that in an ASP.NET MVC control?
The thinking behind the question is that my image current reads it's data from a custom httphandler that gets the image from the database. I want to be able to use a file upload control to "post" a replacement file back to a "write" handler, updating the database. Then I can refresh my image using javascript to the original "read" handler. Is this possible?
I currently have a standard postback model upload process which puts the image into the database and a custom handler to read it back. What I want to know, is can you create a custom http handler to perform the upload so I could asynchronously call the upload handler then refresh the image src to pull it back from the database. At the moment I am using the IFrame approach to make it appear asynchronous, I just want to know the best practice really
I've created 2 web user controls. A = User control that displays an image, and B is the user control that hosts A. I'm trying to stream an array of bytes to A, but it seems like the Response.BinaryWrite method completely overwrites any heirachial controls (I can't see any of B's other controls besides the image).
How do I get A to just display the image from the byte stream? It doesn't come from a database, it's an image I created on the fly.

I've a question about something I'm searching for,for too long! We've build an application from which an admin upload songs into a database. Then user can bought songs and download it individualy. The problem is that when user download MP3 songs with the code below, it works great in Firefox and Chrome but not in IE8 simply because WMP trying to open the songs and it just don't get it instead of having a "Save as" dialog? Any issue on HOW can i force to have the "Save As" diaglog? Note that I have not MP3 physicaly on server it's in database. So I can't direct link to song ...
Here's my code :
// Remove "specials chars"
foreach (char aChar in @"/:*?""<>| ") {
if (aChar == ' ') {
songNameAndExt = songNameAndExt.Replace(' ', '_');
} else {
songNameAndExt = songNameAndExt.Replace(aChar.ToString(), string.Empty);
}
}
Response.Clear();
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.ClearContent();
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
HttpContext.Current.Response.Headers.Add("Content-Disposition", string.Format("filename={0}", songNameAndExt));
HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream.Write(songData, 0, songLength);
What wrong with this code?

I'm trying to query a database that contains information about a "ticket" using jQuery's .ajax() method.
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'Preview.ashx',
data: 'ticketID=' + ticketID,
success: function (data) {
// 'data' should be a row from the database, so it should be like an
// array that contains each column of the row
// do stuff with this data
}
});
... so that all works fine. I'm having trouble with the data variable. On the server side, I do...
// get the ticket ID from the POST parameter
int ticketID = context.Request["ticketID"] != null ? Convert.ToInt32(context.Request["ticketID"]) : -1;
if (ticketID >= 0) {
// grab the data from the database, getInfo() will retrieve the row
// in the DB that corresponds to the ticket ID given, returning an
// ArrayList with all of the information
ArrayList theTicket = getInfo(context, ticketID);
// now, I need to somehow return this information so that I could deal with it
// in the 'success' callback function above
return;
} else {
// something went wrong with the 'newTicket' POST parameter
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
context.Response.Write("Error with 'ticketID' POST parameter.
");
return;
}
return;
I've debugged this enough to be sure that the ArrayList contains the correct information. Now I just need to return it. How would I do this? How would I return the data in the ArrayList? Is it possible to structure the response so that I could do data.ID, data.otherColumnName, etc... in the callback function to access the different fields?
I've had a bit of feedback from some threat and vulnerability folks relating to websites returning HTTP 500 response codes. Essentially the advice is that all possible measures must be taken to avoid the server throwing a 500 (i.e. extensive form input validation) which is fine. However, the advice also suggested that attempts to compromise security by means such as inserting a tag into a random query string causing ASP.NET request validation to fire or manipulating viewstate also should not return an HTTP 500. Obviously the native framework behaviour is to interpret the request and possibly throw to a custom error page but even this will return a 500 response code.
So I'm after some thoughts on how to approach this. Is there any way to configure the app at either the .NET level or IIS level to return an HTTP 200 when a 500 is raised? Or does this become a coding exercise at global.asax level in one of the application events? Are there other consequences to consider? BTW, the rationale from the security side is that apps which return HTTP 500 may be viewed as "low hanging fruit" by bots randomly scanning for vulnerabilities and prompt further malicious activity. attempts I'm personally not convinced that changing response codes offers any real security gains but am happy to hapy to take the advice of the pros.
I have an asp.net appliction on the one server. There I've added code on server-side in Page_Load:
Response.AddHeader("key", "password-key-from-hotel");
On the client side I have a form:
<form ... action="www.link-to-another-domaint" >
<input type="hidden" id="asd" value="fgh" >
....
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.forms[0].submit();
</script>
Then on the other domain - there is also my other application - I'm trying to get the hedaer "key" by this code:
Request.Headers["key"].ToString();
But there is no such header. Is there is a desicion? Where is my mistake?
In my application I need to set a http response header. I'd like to do this in web.config. but I dont'know if this is possible and I can't find it on Google. Solution Finally, after a long search I found the solution. Create a class with this code:
public class myHTTPHeaderModule : IHttpModule
{
#region IHttpModule Members
public void Dispose()
{
}
public void Init(HttpApplication context)
{
context.EndRequest += new EventHandler(context_EndRequest);
}
void context_EndRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response;
response.AddHeader("Content-Language", "*");
}
#endregion
}
(Don't ask me why to use this event, but it works..) Now add a line in web.config in the HttpModule section:
<httpModules>
<add type="namespace.myHTTPHeaderModule, assembly name" name="headers" />
<add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
</httpModules>
I've just finished reading URL vs. URI vs. URN, in More Concise Terms, and it's really helped understand the distinction between the three terms. Since then I've skimmed the RFC2141 and RFC2616 specs and Microsoft's Response.Redirect Method documentation in an effort to answer the following question confidently.
Given this line of code:
Response.Redirect("~/Foo.aspx");
And this resulting HTTP response (trimmed for context):
Status=Found - 302 Date=Wed, 24 Nov
2010 17:27:58 GMT
Server=Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By=ASP.NET
X-AspNet-Version=2.0.50727
Location=/MyWebApp/Foo.aspx
What name(s) most properly describes what has been placed into the "Location" header?
URL? URI? URN? URC? Which is it?
It uses asp.net (webforms), bunch of jquery plugins and whatnot.
Problem: there's unnecessary HTTP request to localhost/undefined and that makes every request take ~1s longer than needed.
Question: is there any tactic to find guilty code?
Clue: undefined makes me think that there's JS involved.

if you right click a line in the code, it gives you a conditional breakpoint. Check the name of the variable that has the URL value, and set a condition when typeof URL === 'undefined' or url === 'undefined' and look at the stack
Just set breakproint at line 3400 (with no conditions). It does not go through there.

3398 // Extend the settings, but re-extend 's' so that it can be

Narrowed issue down a bit => commented out 1 ascx controller that renders some images and uses gallerific jquery plugin and magic request dissapeared.
Problem was with galleriffic plugin initialization. It couldn't find anchor and it's href for creating thumbnails when there were no images or something. It's cool now...
I am using C# + VSTS 2008 + .Net 3.5 + ASP.Net + IIS 7.0 + ADO.Net + SQL Server 2008. I want to develop an ASP.Net aspx page which has the following function,
1 It could accept 3 Url parameters param1, param2 and param3, and the request looks like this,
http://mysite.com/foo.aspx?parame1=abc¶m2=def¶m3=ghi
2 When the page is responsed to client browser, I want to display a text input and a submit button nearby in the result html page, and value of text input is the same as param1, in this sample, abc will be displayed in text box, in the browser address bar, I want to keep the original long url http://mysite.com/foo.aspx?parame1=abc¶m2=def¶m3=ghi;
3 When the user change the value in text input, and click submit button, I want to send this request again to foo.aspx, and changing the param1 value to the value which user entered in text input, and at the same time, keep values of parame2 and param3 the same as last request's response. For example, when user requests http://mysite.com/foo.aspx?parame1=abc¶m2=def¶m3=ghi, and the page displays, when user changes text input from abc to google, the new request will be http://mysite.com/foo.aspx?parame1=google¶m2=def¶m3=ghi
Any reference samples? My question is I do not know how to implement so many functions in one aspx page.
In how many ways can an HTTP request be generated?

I've developed a component which processes online payments. At a specific point the user must be redirected to the selected acquirer web site for authentication. The acquirer itself suggests that there should be a web page which does it. Something such as the following,
<!--TakeOff.aspx-->
<html xmlns="[URL]">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title>@</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function Go() {
form1.submit();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="Go();">
<form id="form1" runat="server" method="post" action="/...">
<div>
<asp:HiddenField ID="MID" runat="server" />
<asp:HiddenField ID="Amount" runat="server" />
<asp:HiddenField ID="ResNum" runat="server" />
<asp:HiddenField ID="RedirectURL" runat="server" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
This page redirects the user and posts required arguments to the acquirer's web site. Prior to this page there is another page with a payment button (for example). In the click event of the payment button my component is instantiated and required calculation is done. Something such as the following,
protected void btnPayment_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
var paymentProcessor = new NS.PaymentProcessor(/*required arguments*/);
/*...*/
NS.Result result = paymentProcessor.Calc();
Session.Add("PaymentProcessResult", result);
Response.Redirect("TakeOff.aspx");
}
catch (Exception p)
{
throw p;
}
}
What I'm going to do is to generate [TakeOff.aspx] page at run-time by the payment processor component instead of having static page (I mean aspx pages that are generated during development phase). The reason why is that we may have different acquirers and each acquirer requires its own arguments to be posted. So if the payment processor component generates aspx or even html pages at run-time we do not need recompile and redeploy the web application.
My problem is that I do not know how to generate aspx pages at run-time. I'm not an ASP.NET guru and all efforts that I've made using HttpResponse were in vain as the original page does not transfer the control to the generated page.
I have two very similar pieces of ASP.NET code that send a file in an HTTP Reponse to the client. They should cause the browser to prompt to save the file. The first one works, the second one doesn't. The HTTP responses as seen in Fiddler are below.

When the first one is seen in Fiddler the browser correctly prompts to save the file. When the second one is seen in Fiddler, nothing observable happens in the browser. Same behaviour in both chrome and firefox.

Response.Buffer = false;
