View 1 RepliesI have this httpHandler that reads a varbinary(MAX) field from the database and stream it as an FLV video. Now, how do I implement sequential access in this handler? I need it to read bytes in chunks and stream it.I call the id of the video that is to be played, e.g ViewFilm.ashx?id=5I know I'm supposed to add CommandBehavior.SequentialAcces in the ExecuteReader(), but the rest I can't get to work.I also read that someone had a problem with this but does it concern me?[URL]

View 2 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI am wanting to stream flash video files from IIS to an .aspx page. I have added the video/x-flv mime type to IIS, but am still having problems. I have seen a few articles about using HTTP Handlers, but they seem to be inconsistent and I'm not exactly sure why they woul dbe needed.
View 13 RepliesI have a form with a server side button, clicking on which session variable is added Session.Add("ABC","123")After this (in same postback event), I redirect user to a site, which returns user back to my site. And I still have session "abc" available to me.NOW, In another scenario I am trying to do the same thing but in a handler. I.e.User clicks a clinet side button which redirects users to sameSite.xyz. Handler of xyz adds session variable like above and redirects user to the other site. But, this time when user returns back from other site, my session is lost. How can I imitate scenario 1 with handlers?

I am trying to retrieve an image created by a handler. Here is the code for the handler:

Here is how i call it from an aspx file:
[Code]....
The image is missing from the webpage generated.
I have 50 sites for 50 states. When a company uploads their contact info their image is stored in a folder relative to the site they are uploading from. When you view this company on the other sites the image is not present. So, I was thinking I would store the path of where the file is originally and then access it through the handler, but I can't seem to get the handler to recognize locations other than virtual directories.

a silverlight app sends an image to a webservice which store the image in a database and then a handler retrieves the image from the db to display it... quite common so far.
Everything is working absolutely fine on my test server (IIS on my development machine) but, as soon as i try it on the production server : no way, the image is never displaying (in any browser). Firefox says that it cannot display it because it contains error...
I tried to download the database from the production server just after saving an image to the db and, locally, the image is displaying...
The image is in png format.
Here is my code :

I have a HTTP handler that returns a GeoRSS feed (type of XML) when called. This handler is called from a javascript and the returning xml is consumed directly by a Virtual Earth (bing) map control on the same page. I am Encrypting/Decrypting URL parameters but any one can see the source html, copy the url and get access to the xml feed.Since the call is from javascript how can I prevent unauthorized access to the HTTP handler?
View 2 Repliesi 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 Handler.ashx file and on .aspx page load it calles the .ashx file for image reading. I am attempting to pass a session from the .aspx file to the .ashx file in order to make my query of grabing the image secure. The problem is that everytime I call a session: HttpContext.Current.Session["ID"], the value is returning null or errors saying the o so commong "Object reference not set to an instance of the object". I have tried a couple ways of grabing the session:
1.) context.Session["ID"]
2.) HttpContext.Session["ID"]
3.) HttpContext.Current.Cache["ID"]
none of them are giving me the ID session set in the .aspx page. should i be using Server.Transfer instead? is there a way to grab a session variable set in a .aspx page and called in a .ashx page?

View 1 RepliesThe 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 am trying to pass a value, from my .aspx form to a ashx request via a session or a cookie,
the cookie exists but in the ashx it returns a null, and same with the session value.
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.
