HttpHandlers / Modules :: Redirect Shareware Download URL From A File To A Download Page?
Oct 13, 2010
I'm about to submit my pad file to multiple sharware sites but the pad file has to have a direct link to the download file and can't link to a download page which is what I would like to do, so I can track the traffic and get the downloader's email before allowing the download. I am running an ASP.NET site in VB. Is there a way to tell the web app to redirect to a specific aspx page when it receives a request for a specific file?
the paying method is by a card or bank account and the customer is not registered to the site so i want to make sure that the customer has downloaded the file successfully after that the system completes the payment operation.
I'm downloading a binary file from a SQL database to a client machine and want to instead download it to a folder on a server. THe code I'm using is below.

IE and Firefox (but not Chrome and Opera) not downloading the whole installer sometimes. File should be about 10 MB but is about 5-7 MB after download.I had written source code to download file as diffrent name than name in filesystem which may be the source of trouble. This is my code:
My website is allowing the web.config file to be downloaded. However in my C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727CONFIGweb.config file I have this line
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.
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 am using some code similar to the code below to open a word document on my ASP.net app. Once the file has been downloaded and opened I then want to either redirect to another page or refresh the screen but nothing works after response.end and if i add it before response.end the browser never downloads the file?
i m creating asp.net Mobile website page to download symbian .sis file to mobile ,but its not geting download properly.its working perfectly on desktop.
I have to do a web form that once the user has completed successfully and click the "I Agree" box and submit the form that redirects to the page where you can download some files. These visitors are not "users" in the sense of Drupal (no username / password, log back, etc), so I do not think the profile is actually the correct method vs Webform but should only be able to access to this page through redirection Webform.

But the problem is auto download dont' work properly.This what I already trying to do about problem auto download:

(Actually i put update progress for purpose generate file before redirect and download).using timer. When is not postback condition, I trying enable the timer with interval 2sec.When in timer event is trigger i disable timer and trying download it.

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.
I am writing something that will use my database to generate/populate some Word/Excel Template Documents for Contracts. These will be written to a directory on my server that I want my user to be able to have access to to download these contracts from. I was thinking a GridView with a TemplateField with a Hyperlink in it for simplicity's sake.
The Download.ashx Http Handler generates the file (Content-Type : application/pdf), and if I click on my LinkButton, it does PostBack and download the file after showing a popup... But I can't manage to close this popup automatically.
I tried some methods
settimeout('self.close()',1000) after the download Setting a RegisterStartupScript on the LinkButton.Command, to trigger the download after the postback, but IE6 prompts a warning that disturbs my users
So, none of these methods seems to work fine.
So, my question is : Is there a way to make the popup instantly disappear, or is there a means to make the page download the file AND postback at the same time ?
PS : I thought of the Your download will begin shortly method, but I'm afraid I'll have the same issues as before with the RegisterStartupScript...
I put together a download script after some wonderful help from stack overflow the other day. However I've now found that after the file has been downloaded I need to reload the page to get rid of the progress template on the aspx page. The code to remove the template worked before I added in the download code.
Code to remove progress template: upFinanceMasterScreen.Update(); I've tried calling putting this before and after the redirect to the IHttpHandler Response.Redirect("Download.ashx?ReportName=" + "RequestingTPNLeagueTable.pdf");
