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 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 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 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?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to solve a problem that involves creating a very large XML string and stream that to browser. Right now i am using stringbuilder class. Here is the sample code
here i am using only just one property.
[code]....
total length of the final string will be 120MB or so.
With this code i am getting out of memory errors intermittently. To resolve this issue ..i am planning to create a HTTP handler for streaming XML output to browser.
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.

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'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?

View 1 RepliesI have to large files in a database which users can download. The user clicks a link and the following code runs:
[Code]....
We'd like to restrict the maximum upload file size in our web site. We've already set the appropriate limits in our web.config. The problem we're encountering is if a really large file (1 GB, for example) is uploaded, the entire file is uploaded before a server-side error is generated, and the type of the error is different whether the file is huge or not. Is there a way to detect the size of a pending file upload before the actual upload takes place?
Here's my relevant web.config settings that restrict requests to 16 MB:
[Code]....
Update:
I know that client-side technologies like Flash can detect file sizes before upload, but we need a server-side workaround because we're wanting to target platforms that have no Flash/Java/ActiveX/Silverlight support. I believe that IIS or ASP.NET has a bug that's allowing large files to be uploaded despite the limits, so I've filed a bug here.
Would an ISAPI extension give me more control over request processing than HTTP modules and handlers, such as allowing me to abort an upload if the Content-Length header is seen to be larger than the allowed limit?
Update 2:
Sigh. Microsoft has closed the bug I filed as a duplicate but has provided no additional information. Hopefully they didn't just drop the ball on this.
I have an asp.net web page to serve large file downloads to users.
The page is hosted on IIS7, Windows Server 2008.
The strange thing is that users can download at good speeds (2MB/s) when I don't add a content-length response header but as soon as I add this header, download speed drops to somewhere around 35kbps/s.
This is the code:
[code]...
Of course I can leave the content-length out but the user will not know how big the file is and how long the download will take...which is annoying.
