HttpHandlers / Modules :: File Chunking Fails When Served From IIS7 To Firefox
Oct 17, 2010
This seems as good a place as any for this question. It has to do with an .ASHX handler.
I have written a generic file serving handler in asp.net/vb.net - it has been working great. I recently moved to a windows 7 box and am now debugging under IIS7, and this is where the problems occure.
Whenever I serve a file to either FireFox or Chrome (IE8 works fine) from IIS 7, the download will fail.
- In FireFox the error is "[some file name and path].part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read."
- In Chrome the error is "Error 330 (net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED): Unknown error."
- In IE8 it works fine
If I run the same code in IIS6, it works fine. If I run the same code in the Visual Studio virtual web server, it works fine (on windows 7 or XP).
I am rather concerned about this as our production web server will soon be IIS7; which I'm starting to really love, and would hate to revert to IIS6 just because this won't work in IIS7.
Here is the code I'm using..I've tried a number of different patterns. It seems to always fail on the Flush() line with the error "System.Web.HttpException = {"The remote host closed the connection. The error code is 0x80070040."}"
One thing I have noticed, if I move the flush statment to the finally clause or remove it all together; firefox will attempt to read the entire file - it appears to be looping through the entire block of code just fine, until it hits the flush statement. If I remove the flush statment I still get an error and it still tries to read the entire file before asking me to save it.
--Edit: I removed the flush and tested again; firfox thinks it downloaded a zero byte file.
I'm assuming I just have some sort of header issue going on here, but I'm at a loss at this point as to what that would be.

Our website used to be a php website, now everything changed to .net, but the customer still want to keep the original php Request url. I want to know How to set Handler mapping on IIS7 to redirect .php file to .aspx file ? In more details, when you click handler mappings on IIS 7.0, what kind of hanlder should you add (add managed handler or add script map or add wild card script map or add module mapping) to redirect .php file to .aspx file?

I'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:

I 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

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.

In IIS6 the scenario below is working perfectly.I have an HttpModule called URLRedirect which examines URLS and by using RegEx rewrites of applicable. An example is a URL "/doc47.pdf" gets redirected to docpdf.ashx?id=47 Then the docpdf.ashx used the id value and, using a database builds an application/pdf document and returns it. Since I need to validate that the user has access to the data, the first line of the ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) function is:if (context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) ..... This is where the problem occurs, but more details first.
On a webpage, access to which is restricted to lgged on users who meet certain criteria there is a link which allows the user to present the page as a PDF document. This is achieved by using javascript to open a popup window using the window.open("/doc47.pdf", ... ) function.This all works fine under IIS6 and under IIS7 if I change the mode to Classic. But, under IIS7 in integrated mode, the following happens.The line in doc.ashx described above raises an exception because context.User == null. But, and this is interesting, if instead of using the link that opens the popup window I instead type /doc.pdf?id=47 into the address bar, the PDF document displays correctly.So this indicates to me that the URLRedirect Module is somehow losing the logged on user information.

am trying to write an HttpModule that will work in IIS7 with integrated pipeline mode AppPool. Within this module I need to access Session variables and to be able to capture the Session Start and End events. I have found a couple of articles on this topic that indicate the need to modify the behavior of the HttpHandler in PostAcquireRequestState to force the Session for the context to be initialized. The article I am using as a template is posted here:[URL]In my case I am getting the following error:
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.] System.Web.PipelineModuleStepContainer.GetEventCount(RequestNotification notification, Boolean isPostEvent) +30 System.Web.PipelineStepManager.ResumeSteps(Exception error) +1112
System.Web.HttpApplication.BeginProcessRequestNotification(HttpContext context, AsyncCallback cb) +113 System.Web.HttpRuntime.ProcessRequestNotificationPrivate(IIS7WorkerRequest wr, HttpContext context) +616
I believe that this error implies a problem with attempting to attach an event handler multiple times. I am aware that the modules Init function can be called more than once and have set a static initialization flag which ensures that I will only ever attach the event handler once.In the most condensed form my code is as follows:
public class HttpModule : IHttpModule, IRequiresSessionState

I am having a specific requirement of which I am not sure it is even possible to do but I have read somewhere in the past few days that similar to what I am trying to achieve shoud be done by writing a custom HttpHandler (or module?). Basically, I currently have a simple aspx page that accepts a file upload and forwards it to another URL (after doing some checking). The way this currently works is that my Page_Loaded gets called only after the entire file is uploaded.
What I am looking to achieve is get a hold of an uploaded file Stream early on as soon as request headers are processed so I could do some sort of piping froim the uploaded file Stream to my destination Stream. With large files this should be extra beneficial because there is no waiting time for the large file to get uploaded and my gut feeling tells me this way the memory footprint should also be lower. What I need is a forward-only Stream. No seeking needed. Therefore, I don't need to manage the entire uploaded file at some point in time. I just want to send the bytes as soon as they are received (with some lightweight processing in between).

I have implemented URL rewritting in my application. I did it in Application_BeginRequest located in Global.asax. My url rewritting in working fine. Now in order to maintain rewritting during post back.
I have added code line this.Form.Action = Request.RawUrl; in page load event in order to maintain rewritten URL during post back. When I am adding below code on image button click to download file it doesn't work. It says "Internet explorer cannot display webpage". When I am removing line this.Form.Action = Request.RawUrl; from page load then downloading file will start working but URL rewritting will not work on postback.
FileInfo objFi = new FileInfo(Server.MapPath(filepath));
this.Form.Action = Request.RawUrl;
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + objFi.Name);
HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = "";
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", objFi.Length.ToString());
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
HttpContext.Current.Response.WriteFile(objFi.FullName);
HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush();
HttpContext.Current.Response.End();

i have a custom handler which captures user's book mark entry. To debug this handler, i have created a file "test1.txt" in code behind which saves the user entry. After the debug, i removed the text file (test1.txt) then re-complied the web app and deployed new DLLs for the site. But, the site is still looking for test1.txt file. i dont know how to confirm if the handler is really removed from the new DLL. Also, looked at the handler code behind file and didn't find any entry with test1.txt. So,

I have an httpmodule and it has a handler for OnEndRequest. I am trying to write the HttpContext.Response.OutputStream to a file. I am trying to use the Read method of it. But when it is called the exception message i get is "Specified method is not supported". So i am not able to do what i want that is, write the response to a file on the disk. I am able to write the HttpContext.Request.InputStream to a file using its Read method which i do in a handler for OnBeginRequest.

i manage the doc extension through a customized HttpHandler :
I set <add verb="GET" path="*/*.doc" type="MOMA.IWT.Framework.Portal.Components.HttpHandler.ResourcesHandler, PortalComponents" /> in the httpHandlers section of the web.config file and in IIS property i add a mapping for .doc with C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727aspnet_isapi.dll
So, when i try to get a file named like pippo.doc within my web application [URL) my handler intercept the request, all right but when i try to get [URL]the result is 400 bad request My question are: why the handler doesn't intercept the request? How can I open the pippo..doc document?

I have read in many places that referencing IRequiresSessionState or IReadOnlySessionState will allow me access to the Session scoped variables from within the ProcessRequest method in an ASHX file.
I have implemented these changes, as follows, and I am unable to retrieve this data still, as the server returns a null object reference error:
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.SessionState;[code]....
The error is most certainly specific to pulling data from the session, yet I am 100% certain that the session contains data in this key.
It shouldnt matter where I am storing the data (cookies, vs db, etc), right?
