I need to access image files (.jpg) on a server other than the web server my app runs on. I would like to use an httphandler to do this but I am unsure of the syntax to specify the path. I have tried mapping a drive on the web server to the file server but that didn't work. I have tried using a UNC path but that did not work either.
View 1 RepliesI have a problem with large respones and IIS7, the server runs out of memory. I've written the test code below that works pretty much like my real code... When i start to download the file i can se the memory usage rise until it hits 100% and Firefox complaints about lost connection to server, looks like IIS7 does not release cache or something.. Works in IIS6 by the way

View 7 RepliesI am using Httphandler to access my pages. Have Loginstatus Control on the master pages.
OnLoggingOut for the Loginstatus control I am doing a Session.abandon()... But My session_end
does not get called in the Gobal.asax.I tried link button and everything. but when I take out the httphandler the Session_end gets executed in global.asax
I can handle the full session end on my own but is there any way to call Session_end in global.asax?

View 2 RepliesHttpHandler and POST verb?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to secure my web application so XML files it contains can't be downloaded. I thought it would be as simple as adding these to the "httpHandlers" section of web.config:
<remove verb="*" path="*.xml"/>
<add verb="*" path="*.xml" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler"/>
This failed - the XML files could still be downloaded easily. I tried different browsers in case they were caching, but everything could download the XML files without any trouble. I thought this might be due to some special handling of XML, so I tried mocking up an alternative based on ".txt123" files. I added this file with some dummy content:

We have a handler to deal with .dat files.. everything is already setup and server is acknowledging the file type and doing its thing to handle it..
But the handler requires 1 bit of information along with the HTTP request which is a physical file path.. the file name it knows based on the file we call , but how can i pass a custom header along with the request so that the handler will use that when the request is made?
Basically when on our player.aspx page, i will have a button, when you click that button a request is made to the .dat file, but along with that request i need to send the physical file path.. how can i do that?

I am using uploadify for a photography site I am building. I have an HTTPHandler that I'm using to save the posted file. What I am wondering is if I can resize images, insert a record of the image into a db and save the image from the HTTPHandler? This is my first experience with HTTPHandlers so forgive me if there is an obivious answer for this.
View 1 RepliesI am wanting to develop a URL Rewriting solution that handles postbacks and querystrings. I have found a couple of examples, but don't fully udnerstand the code and don't want to implement code I don't understand. Obviously at the heart of this issue is intercepting the raw url before the rewrite occurs, however, I am not sure exactly how to go about this.
View 4 RepliesI hope I am posting into the right area... I want to know if you can access a session variable from a HTTP Module in IIS 7. Here is the scenario, I want to access the session values (i.e. User Object) from a HTTP Module. I have read oodles and tried many things but to no avail. I guess the application uses Forms authentication to authorize a logon to the site. I want to monitor the url that is submitted... RAWUrl property and if they are going to a certain page I want to grab their user object from THEIR session and validate them for access to that page. I want to use a httpmodule for this. The long and short of this is "Can I get access to session variables from the request from the httpmodule code behind? If I can, could you beso kind as to show me a working sample... I have tried many permutations on this using httpapplication, context and so forth and I can't seem to get access to session variables that would belong to the users request. it this possible?
View 1 RepliesI've tried to implement two different solutions that use either and HttpModule or and HttpHandler to do URLRewriting for me. These work great on IIS 7 within my local development environment in Integrated and Classic modes. Currently the production server is running IIS 6.0 on a shared hosting environment. It appears that the request at least hits both the Module and Handler as the URL above redirect to the particular friendly url, but it doesn't redirect and hit hte Module or Handler again. Instead I get a 404 error for the friendly URL.

Is it possible to execute files from a different site in IIS than the one that's actually served? My problem is that my webhost allows for subdomains, but couples the subdomain with another folder than the default folder..
When opening domain.com i get the files from public_html on the ftp, but opening test.domain.com gets me the files from the test-folder
I need the subdomain to execute the files from public_html, but the support says that's not possible :( I was hoping some of the brilliant minds in here might have an idea.. I can of course add files and code to the subdomain-directory, but I wouldn't know what to write in like a httpmodule or something like that
I don't know which security settings that comes into play here, all I know is that the server is running IIS ASP.NET 4.0
I have an asp page that allows users to view documents, so far all document type are working great. But when I try to open an .msg file It doesnt know what program to use. I did some digging and found that this is probably because the MIMEType is not listed in my IIS. I know I need to add .msg "application/vnd.ms-outlook" But the MSDN post that I read said to open up the IIS MMC and right click on the local computer listed and go to properties. Properties does not appear as an option for me on the local computer list (I am assuming that this is because I am running IIS 5.1 on an XP machine, rather than IIS 6) I did find another post where someone said to do the following:
right click on my app
-> HTTPHeaders
-> File Types
->Insert values ".MSG" and Content Types as "application/vnd.ms-outlook"
->Apply
I was able to do this, but it did not fix the problem. how to add an MIMEType correctly in IIS 5.1?
I just bought an old domain name and am looking to redirect as many old URLs as possible to acquire backlinks intended for the original owner for pagerank reasons. The original site had a lot of static pages ending in .htm which need to be redirected to directories. I use httpcontext in my Global.asax file to initiate 301 redirects and this works great on folder names or .aspx files, but whenever I try to redirect a .htm it fails.
Sample code:
if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains("http://www.example.com/oldpage.htm"))
{
HttpContext.Current.Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently";[code]....
I also tried using my Parallels H-Sphere interface provided by my hosting company to do a IIS redirect, but whenever I hit submit the page just starts an infinate loop of sending a request.
When I have a HttpHandler class in C#/ASP.NET mapped to a file extension in IIS any file with that extension fails to download/display in web browsers (it's downloaded as a 0-byte file in some browsers and nothing at all in other browsers). After removing the application mapping for the HttpHandler in IIS so it doesn't call the IHttpHandler class in C#, the web browser downloads the file successfully.
This was tested with an IHttpHandler class in C# that has an empty ProcessRequest method.
So I've read quite a few posts about how to do this, and it's still getting me. I'm trying to control access to a directory, but I continue to get a null session error. I'm doing my check in PostAcquireRequestState
