HttpHandlers / Modules :: Create A Url Rewriting Module And Have Investigated Numerous Examples On The Web?
Nov 11, 2010
I am wanting to create a url rewriting module and have investigated numerous examples on the web. However, most do not address the issues of handling postbacks and querystrings. I cam across a few examples, but don't fully understand how they work and thus customizing them to my needs becomes a problem. I understand the basic concepts of rewriting, but can someone explain, or point me to a resource on how postbacks and querystrings are handled?
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to convert all URL's to lowercase using an Http Module for URL rewriting? For example www.homeforhire.com/Home.aspx should be converted to lowercase.
I cannot use the IIS7 URL Rewriter because I need to perform database lookups as part of my URL rewriting.
I have researched this extensively but have not had any luck finding a solution.
The only alternative I can think of is to use a dynamically created canonical link in my page headers.
eg: Folder/StaticPage.aspx?PageName=TestPage is re-written as
Folder/TestPage
This works fine on my local dev. machine on the Cassini server. But when its hosted in IIS (5.1 & 7.0) it fails to work, with the error as 404 Page Not Found.
I 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.
I want to perform some basic URL rewriting.http://locahost/website/ChangeMeIt seems I can't get the server cofigured right to do this.I created my own customer HttpHandler.by the time the my handler gets the url .... it has already been changed by asp.net to ChangeMe.htm ....Does anyone have anyclue on where IIS7 or ASP.net is messing with the URL?I have tried the built in Rewriter and Intelligencia.UrlRewriter and ".HTM" gets appended to every single extensionless request.
I need to create a URL rewrite that will handle a URL such aswww.mysite.com/my-article. I have seen various scenarios where a URL such aswww.mysite.com/articles/my-article can be parsed (i.e. identify that "articles" appears in the URL, the redirect), but I am not sure how to this without the intermediate "folder". Also, I am running IIS6.0, so I am nto sure how the folder without and extension will be handled.
I have IReadOnlySessionState and IRequiresSessionState on my module but still httpApplication.Context.Session == null is this because these session state hasn't been created yet? is there a way around this?
I have developed a quick module that adds some text to the bottom of every page. This text will basically inform the user they are using my application in a test environment and save me editing the Master/Content pages for all my files.Sadly, my code adds the string AFTER the </html> tag, which isn't very good. Can anyone advise how to make this module add the stringprevious to the </body> tag, so that it gets rendered correctly according the HTML standards?
I've been reading many articles and can't seem to get my ASP.NET 4 web forms project to do Routing/URL rewriting.
I have added the following reference to the ASP.NET project:
System.Web.Routing
It then added the following line to the web.config file: <compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0"><assemblies><add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/> </assemblies></compilation> In the global.asax file I want to add the routes, but it is not recognising RouteTable and RouteCollection keywords.
How do I get these to be recognised so that I can create the rules in the global.asax file?
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.
Our site uses urlRewriter http module that does the url rewriting for us. I want to create another http module that will handle our customize URL redirects. Now I want this new customize http module to be call before the UrlRewriter module (to avoid page not found messages the UrlRewriter generates). Is there a way we can contol the calling order ?
I want the rewrite url to work on the virtual dedicated server. so when someone enters the url without extension like http://megafastline.com/feedback , it shud display the contents of the page feedback.aspx
The code work perfectly fine in the localhost, but when i uploaded this on the godaddy dedicated virtual server and hit http://megafastline.com/feedback , i m getting
I am writing a custom HTTP module to implement user authentication and appropriate access rights. And for identifying access rights for the user also depends on identifying the client's machine details like IP address, machine name, etc. The access rights will depend based on from which location or machine the user is trying to login.
Can we get these details from the HttpApplication or HttpContext object?
I 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?
The iPhone sends an HTTP GET request to my web application to recieve an update for an internet calendar. The iPhone does not conform to the RFC 822 Date Format for this request. It sends the If-Modified-Since as follows:
RFC 822 format - Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT iPhone Format - Sun, 6 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT
I dont know much about handlers or modules. Is it possible to write a handler or module that could intercept this request and reformat the If-Modified-Since date format to the standard. Currently when IIS recieves this request it immediately sends back a 400 Error because of this invalid format.
I have a module that subscribes to PreRequestHandlerExecute event, which uses the Session object. When i set the webconfig compilationdebug flag to false, the Session object is null when making requests to the web service. It works fine for .aspx requests, but only have problems for .asmx. When i set the debug flag to true everything works fine. I need to set this flag to false for production, but can't seem to get it work.I'm using II7 and the integrated pipeline, so this event will fire for all requests.

I have a compression module built based on several examples on the web. Initially, I hooked into the BeginRequest event of the application context to conditionally compress certain file types. This seems to have worked fine for JS and HTML, but CSS was giving me trouble. Here are the specific steps I could take to reproduce the problem consistently.
i have web application which can be accessible by [URL] but I would like to create a url which does not have any query string parameter. this should be accessible by [URL] (e.g athar is client name) I have download the Intelligencia.UrlRewriter.dll from the internet. but when I run this i am getting error could not found assemply.
I want to create my own HttpApplication class, wherein I can handle methods like ExecuteStep. let me know if there are any examples to do this. Kindly provide some pointers to this...
I am using VS 2008. Basically I want to handle all events from httpApplication class (even before global.asax) before it reaches web pages inside Do other classes come into picture if I want to create my own HttpApplication class .
