A web site was developed and deployed to client. In some cases, I need to set the flag HttpCookie.HttpOnly = true. Okay - I have done it. Next question:
Is Cookie available after setting flag in JavaScript?
or maybe some restriction when I am using JavaScript?
or do I need to make some changes in existing JavaScript?
If my application places HttpOnly cookies on a client and then needs to remove them how can you remove them completely?
View 2 RepliesI have a cookie which my controller uses.
How should i mock the cookie?
I am creating some cookies in my ASP.NET application. These cookies expire 10 minutes after they have been created. I follow the approach described on MSDN as shown here:[URL]
My question is, when a cookie "expires", what happens? Does the browser automatically delete the cookie? Is it our responsibility as developers to remove the cookies if they exist and have expired?
I'm creating an HttpCookie, setting only the name and value and not the expires property, then adding it to the response. Simple enough. The cookie is created (but not persisted) as expected. The problem is when the session changes for some reason (like the website was rebuilt, or I rebuilt my app when debugging) then the cookie stays around. I want the cookie to be valid for only the original session it was created on.
According to MSDN it says: "If you do not specify an expiration limit for the cookie, the cookie is not persisted to the client computer and it expires when the user session expires." I guess I don't know exactly what "session expires" encompasses. I figure the cookie gets deleted after 20 min when the session expires. But should the cookie get deleted if the session it was created on doesn't exist anymore for any number of reasons? The only time I've seen the cookie get deleted is when the user closes all browser windows and opens a new one.
If this is all true, I may have to store the original session id ("ASP.NET_SessionId") in the cookie, then check it against the current session id, if they're different, then delete the cookie or create a new one.
Here's the code (the only difference between my cookie and the one in the MSDN examples is I'm storing multiple values in the cookie):
private void SaveValuesToCookie(string[] names, string[] values)
{
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("MyCookie");
for (int i = 0; i < names.Length; i++)
{
string name = names[i];
cookie.Values[name] = values[i];
}
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
}
private string GetValueFromCookie(string name)
{
HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies["MyCookie"];
if (cookie == null)
return null;
return cookie.Values[name];
}
I'm trying to write cookies from my website and I'm trying to figure out what implications timezones has over the HttpCookie.Expire property. Should I be passing DateTime.Now.AddDays(1) or DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(1) or the users's timezone plus a day?
View 1 RepliesI have a web application developed using VB .Net 2003, and is running ASP Net 1.1.
The application is running fine on all browser, except for the login/authentication control that doesn't work properly on Chrome.
We have different types of users using the website, and each user type has different menu items displayed for.
The problem is, if a user logs on with let's say Admin account, and logs off and later logs on again using student account, the user still gets the Admin menu, and of course vice versa.
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or there is something I'm missing here.
On more thing, if the timeout period reached, and the session was timed out , and the user (regardless of the type) tries to log on again, he is successful on all browser except on Chrome again!, where it keeps telling the session was timed out, and never logs on again until clearing the cookies.
This is what i have in my application web.config
<!-- Authentications -->
authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="index.aspx" name="authCookie" protection="All" timeout="60" path="/"></forms>
</authentication>
[Code]....
This has been a nagging issue for some time, but very sporadic and difficult to isolate.
From time to time, browsers that have authenticated on a web application, have been open for a while, have logged in and out of the same web application multiple times, have multiple tabs, are pretty much any browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safari), and seemingly at random, lose their ability to retain an AuthCookie after being set and followed by a redirect. Closing the browser and starting a new session resolves the issue, as does opening up a different browser and attempting to authenticate.
Our team uses forms authentication for all of our websites and web application. This is a pretty typical setup where a login form is displayed, the user enters credentials and a cookie is set on the click event of the postback, then a redirect occurs to the same page where the cookie is then referenced and used to complete authentication.
In this situation
FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName = ".WebAuth"
Within Event:
FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(1, Username, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(SessionTimeout), false, Username); HttpCookie faCookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(authTicket));
Response.Cookies.Add(faCookie);
Response.Redirect(Request.RawUrl, true);
After the redirect, on PreInit:
HttpCookie authCookie = Request.Cookies[cookieName];
At this point, the authCookie variable is typically not null, but in these isolated circumstances that I've outlined above, the cookie comes back null after the redirect.
This happens very randomly, sometimes weeks before affecting one of our developers. As I said, restarting the browser resolves the issue.
Today I had it happen on our dev server while using Chrome. I had logged into the application, allowed the application to session timeout, and then attempted to login again. The attempted login then failed to set the cookie. I remotely attached Visual Studio to the process on the server to begin debugging. The entire time I could step through my code, even deploy new code versions to the server with updates, restart the app, restart IIS on the server, attach and reattach to the project, and the issue persisted in Chrome. In Firefox, I was able to authenticate without issue.
From Chrome, the login would validate, attempt to set a Response Cookie as outlined above. Prior to redirect, I could see the properly set Response Cookie, as well as its counterpart in the Request Cookies. However, on each redirect after a seemingly successful login, the Response and Request Cookie are gone.
I enabled Trace on the application to view the cookie collection:
There is a .WebAuth in the Request Cookies Collection, as well as ASP.NET_SessionId and several ASPSESSIONIDxxxxxxxx, but when the page loads, only the ASP.NET_SessionId and ASPSESSIONIDxxxxxxxx cookies are available in the Request.Cookies scope, no sign of the .WebAuth. However, in the page's Trace information after render, there multiple .WebAuth cookies listed, it is just that the page seems to have no access to them.
Primarily, on a working version after authentication there is both a .WebAuth Response and Request Cookie in the page's Trace info. But on a non functioning browser window, the Response Cookie is absent.
Has anyone else had any experience with this? It is such a nagging issue, and so sporadic, but I would love to be able to resolve it. My concern is that it may be affecting users and we would have no knowledge since the description of the issue is so convoluted.
I have a site that is using Forms Auth. The client does not want the site session to expire at all for users. In the login page codebehind, the following code is used:
// user passed validation
FormsAuthentication.Initialize();
// grab the user's roles out of the database
String strRole = AssignRoles(UserName.Text);
// creates forms auth ticket with expiration date of 100 years from now and make it persistent
FormsAuthenticationTicket fat = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(1,
UserName.Text, DateTime.Now,
DateTime.Now.AddYears(100), true, strRole,
FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath);
// create a cookie and throw the ticket in there, set expiration date to 100 years from now
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName,
FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(fat)) { Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(100) };
// add the cookie to the response queue
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
Response.Redirect(FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl(UserName.Text, false));
The web.config file auth section looks like this:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="APLOnlineCompliance" loginUrl="~/Login.aspx" defaultUrl="~/Course/CourseViewer.aspx" />
</authentication>
When I log into the site I do see the cookie correctly being sent to the browser and passed back up: However, when I walk away for 20 minutes or so, come back and try to do anything on the site, the login window reappears. This solution was working for a while on our servers - now it's back. The problem doesn't occur on my local dev box running Cassini in VS2008.
In asp.net page, How can i call the javascript methods for form processing-submitting if the user browser supports javascript and use code behind events if the browser does not support javascript.I have the javascript code to send the form data to an ajax server page using jquery.

View 1 RepliesIn the Script documents that asp.net automatically generates how can I surround the whole generated scripts with try/catch statement to avoid 'Microsoft JScript Compilation error'
My issue is: i got a DevExpress control (ASPxGridView) that added and set-up in run time, since i activated the grouping functionality in the grid I still get JS error says ';' expected whenever i use (click) on one of grouping/sorting abilities, I activated script Debugging for IE, in the JS code turns out that there is no missing ';' and once i click ignore for the error msg that VS generates every thing works fine, and surly end-user can't see this msg so i figured out if i try/catch the script that may help avoid this error.

I think I summed up the question in the title. Here is some further elaboration...I have a web user control that is used in multiple places, sometimes more than once on a given page.The web user control has a specific set of JavaScript functions (mostly jQuery code) that are containted within *.js files and automatically inserted into page headers.However, when I want to use the control more than once on a page, the *.js files are included 'n' number of times and, rightly so, the browser gets confused as to which control it's meant to be executing which function on.What do I need to do in order to resolve this problem? I've been staring at this all day and I'm at a loss.

View 1 RepliesThis program in asp.net 2.0 is a Spanish/English Dictionary.
It consists of two textboxes,one button and a datalist. The datalist is bound to an acces database consisting of two columns; One Spanish and one English. When a user enters a Spanish word in textbox1 and clicks the button, the meaning of the word appears in textbox2. Now sometimes a user enters a word that is not in the database. I want, in this case, to have a javascript messagebox to popup saying “Either the word is not listed or misspelled”.
I tried several javascripts to popup in code behind but that did not work. I know that a clientside should be included but I am not able to do that.
The sub below is the one I am using to fetch the words and it is working perfect as long as I enter a word that is already in access database. The words in the rows in database are separated by hyphens so I am using a “Split” fuction which is also working perfectly.

I have the function put here like below:
$(document).ready(function () {
UserControlNameInit();
});
The script are put in the following and the block is in the .ascx page.
<script type="text/javascript">
</script>
However, the function UserControlNameInit() does not run when the page loads. It is showing in the page source. I can still call this function through FireBug console by manually typing the name of the function.
I did the same way with other user controls, and it works. Just 1-3 user controls are not working...
I have a page where there are two forms and a single submit button. Second forms submission depends on success of first forms submission status. So when button is clicked i have javascript to submit first form.
<%using (Ajax.BeginForm("AjaxRegister", new { @action = "AjaxRegister", @controller = "../Account" }, new AjaxOptions { OnSuccess = "handleRegisteration", OnFailure = "handleRegisteration" }, new { @id = "registerForm", @name = "registerForm" }))
I have two user controls and both the user controls refer a same script path:
<script type="text/javascript" src="test.js"></script>
then what happens when the first user controls load then test.js will download in client and when second user control loads then test.js file will download again.
How do I check to see if the JavaScript file is already downloaded so it doesn't have to be downloaded again?
If I include the JavaScript file from the server side:
Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptInclude("test",
Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(this.GetType(),
"test.js"));
then how could I make sure it isn't included twice?
I am writing an ASP.Net application. I am making use of master page in it. I have several child pages with me, which consist of some java script functions; Let's say;

function MasterPagefunction()
{
//Need to call ChildPagefunction(); here
}
Now is it possible to call ChildPageFunction() from MasterPageFunction()?
