HttpHandlers / Modules :: Search Engine Friendly URLs HttpHandler, HttpModule, IIS 6.0 / Get A 404 Error For The Friendly URL?
Mar 31, 2010
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.
I would like to know how to efficiently promote aspx website on search engines such as google. Reason i am asking is because with old static html pages we had meta data, with keywoards on every page, but where do i put all those keywords in aspx website?
Do keywords still exist in aspx? Where do i put them?
I would like to mention that my new aspx website is using master pages what makes it even more complicated.
What is the best way to implement friendly urls in asp.net 2.0 for example I have http://www.predatorsfc.org/BrowseThreads.aspx?ForumID=23 and would to like add the forum title to the url to make the url more user friendly ?
I am interested in the architecture of a CMS where i can pass a full URL instead of a query string. I would like to make a site that could handle a request to any page... Say'http://www.my-domain.com/directory/page.aspx'and have the resulting response deliver a generic page/file.I would like the request to be passed through an XML document where i could store page names and the corresponding file to render content...
I am moving a site from one godaddy account to another godaddy account. Same ASP.NET 4 IIS 7 settings.
What I notice is that all the friendly urls like home.aspx _login.aspx_ return a 404 ERROR, as if the rewrite was not working. As a desperate attempt, I switched from urlFormat="humanfriendly" to urlFormat="searchfriendly" and it started working. But humanfriendly, that allows short and clean urls won't work at all.
I want to add a search field and have search results display in a user-friendly format on an employee intranet. Does anyone know what component(s) I can drag over from the toolbox to create these two items?
I just updated my project to ASP.NET 4. All of a sudden, some of my HttpHandlers are giving ValidateRequest errors. This is because the user HAS to be able to put an XML string in the querystring.I know how to disable ValidateRequest on a page, but how do I do it on an HTTPHandler?
I am trying to access the page object in module and change the hyper links urls. Page object is being access properly, but changes I am making are not effecting the output. I mean here I am changing the url to TestURL.aspx, but this is not comming. could
I 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?
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.
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:
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 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.
regarding one issue I am facing. I created a httpmodule for hadling the unhandled errors and I need to log those errors using log 4 net in database.Everting working fine but I am not getting any error information once the error was hadled and I need that info too. I want to make it as a centralize module which can trap all errors and log those errors.How call application_error event of httpmodule from catch block...so that I can log that info there and I no need log in every catch block..
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.
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
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
