Recursive HTTP Request: How To Prevent A Page From Calling Itself
Mar 10, 2011
I'm looking for a good way to prevent the scenario of the page calling itself repeatedly.
I have a page, that to be rendered needs to make an HTTP request to an RSS feed. If the URL to that RSS feed happens to be the current page, it will fire off a request to itself. The new request would start off another request to the page, which would start another request... This continues until the site grinds to a halt when all available connections are busy in this recursive loop.
A few notes:
The URL to the RSS is entered by the user.
This is a page in a CMS, the URL of the page could be almost anything and could change after the RSS URL is entered.
In this case, the user entered a URL to a remote server that lead to a redirect back to the page.
A few ideas:
I could just deny all requests from the localhost IP before rendering.
Before sending the request, I could track in a common location which requests are active and not even send it if it's already in the middle of another request to the same address.
Maybe add a custom user-agent to the request header and deny the request if that user agent is seen?
i redirect a page from http to https using http module begin request handler .i am calling webservice using ajax but it is saying webserice not defined .which otherwise works fineits work fine when rediect page in page_load instead .but i need to add function for https to http in every page. i still not know why ajax is not working when i use http module for redirect
I am calling a remote service and authenticating using a certificate. When testing with a Console App, everything works fine. When calling from an ASP.NET Website (.NET 4.0, IIS7) I receive a response code of 401 -- Unauthorized.I am adding the certificate using code such as:
var client = new TheGeneratedProxy(); client.ClientCertificates.Add(new X509Certificate("D:cert.pfx", "myPassword"));
(NOTE: I have also loaded the .pfx into the local Certificate Store using IE. The certificate is loaded into my "Personal" store -- so I suspect this to be the problem, since the Website will be running under a different account.)
I have a dynamic catalogue, where customers select products they are interested in. The manager of the company I am doing this for would like to be able to create an up to date offline catalogue at any given time, to send out to customers who dont have an internet connection. So far its going really well. I am using Server.Execute to get the content for each page, then putting it in static html pages and changing the dynamic links to static html links (ie changing all aspx links to htm). I am able to output all the pages for about us, contact us, home, and the entire catalogue. However, one of the stylesheets which is included in the page based on the URL (if the page is in the administration section then it is not included, otherwise it is) is not being included in the pages when it should be. I have tried outputting the URL but it just returns the URL of the calling page, not the page being called.
When I use WatiN to go to a specific web page, how can I fake the HTTP referrer with a query string (i.e. request is from google search with query string q=search_term)? So I can verify that the response header has the 301 redirect for specific referrer URL.
I have a webservice which works 100% fine on my developer machine. Where Web Service is installed on LOCALHOST on my developer machine,Then i went to my servers, I installed webservice on one server and map it with the server where the website is hosted, Then i tried accessing this service using BROWSER from my web server, it worked fine, That means the mapping was done perfect.Then i run my program on web server (website). It worked fine on page1, then on page2, but when i did the same and call same function on page3, It popped me any error of
I there a way to know if a request is a soap request on AuthenticateRequest event for HttpApplication? Checking ServerVariables["HTTP_SOAPACTION"] seems to not be working all the time.
public void Init(HttpApplication context) { context.AuthenticateRequest += new EventHandler(AuthenticateRequest); } protected void AuthenticateRequest(object sender, EventArgs e) { app = sender as HttpApplication; if (app.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_SOAPACTION"] != null) { // a few requests do not enter here, but my webservice class still executing // ... } } I have disabled HTTP POST and HTTP GET for webservices in my web.config file. <webServices> <protocols> <remove name="HttpGet" /> <remove name="HttpPost" /> <add name="AnyHttpSoap" /> </protocols> </webServices> Looking at ContentType for soap+xml only partially solves my problem. For example, Cache-Control: no-cache Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Length: 1131 Content-Type: text/xml Accept: */* Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Accept-Language: ro Host: localhost mymethod: urn:[URL]
Some clients instead of having the standard header SOAPAction: [URL], have someting like in example above. "mymethod" represents the method in my web service class with [WebMethod] attribute on it and [URL] is the namespace of the webservice. Still the service works perfectly normal. The consumers use different frameworks (NuSOAP from PHP, .NET, Java, etc).
I develop an asmx web service (i.e. ASP.NET 2.0). There's a piece of code that may read the contents of the HTTP request (via HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream) while processing it. I realise that InputStream may only be read once for a request, and I make sure I never try to read it more than once.
The problem seems to be that if InputStream happens to be read during the early stages of the application's lifecycle (e.g. after pskill w3wp, during Application_Start), the HTTP request fails with a HTTP 400 - Bad Request error, with no explanation given, no exception thrown and no entry in the httperr log. If it is read later (e.g. within the web method itself), requests run fine whether InputStream is read or not. Application_Start runs fine if InputStream isn't read.
Is this some sort of ASP.NET bug? IIS bug? Or am I doing something wrong by daring to read InputStream? And if so, is there another way to get a look at the "raw" contents of the request without disturbing the inner workings of IIS/ASP.NET? In short, adding this code within Application_Start is enough to reproduce this error: using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream))reader.ReadToEnd();
i got a this exception when i calling my web service in producction server.i already test the web service in server side and this don't have problemasbut when i calling the web service in the development site this throw a

I've got an ASP.NET application that serves MP3 content, but that content is generated during the request and can delay the sending of the response's first byte by several minutes.
The client is a podcatcher (I don't know which), and the lowest timeout I've seen is 20 seconds. That is, these clients are (reasonably enough) giving up relatively quickly, assuming there's no response coming.
How can I keep these clients from giving up? How can I let them know a response is coming?
We have had some problems with using a unmanaged DLL file written in Delphi. (Unable to load dll - not found...)The following code solved the problem on my local machine:
[Code]....
1) The elusive DLL is copied to the ASP.NET temporary files folder2) To check this we get a list of files from that folder.3) The needed function is called with DLL-import.1 & 2 works perfectly - both run directly from Visual Studio 2010 and when uploaded to a webhotel3 works perfectly local, but causes the remote host to think a little and then return a HTTP 503 Service Unaviable error for the next few minutes...
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 ?
It uses asp.net (webforms), bunch of jquery plugins and whatnot.
Problem: there's unnecessary HTTP request to localhost/undefined and that makes every request take ~1s longer than needed.
Question: is there any tactic to find guilty code?
Clue: undefined makes me think that there's JS involved.
Firebug log:
GET /undefined HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:17817 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; lv; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 Accept: image/png,image/;q=0.8,/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: lv,en-us;q=0.7,en;q=0.3 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-13,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 115 Connection: keep-alive Referer: http://localhost:17817/Default.aspx
if you right click a line in the code, it gives you a conditional breakpoint. Check the name of the variable that has the URL value, and set a condition when typeof URL === 'undefined' or url === 'undefined' and look at the stack
Just set breakproint at line 3400 (with no conditions). It does not go through there.
3397 ajax: function( s ) { 3398 // Extend the settings, but re-extend 's' so that it can be 3399 // checked again later (in the test suite, specifically) 3400 s = jQuery.extend(true, s, jQuery.extend(true, {}, jQuery.ajaxSettings, s));
Narrowed issue down a bit => commented out 1 ascx controller that renders some images and uses gallerific jquery plugin and magic request dissapeared.
Problem was with galleriffic plugin initialization. It couldn't find anchor and it's href for creating thumbnails when there were no images or something. It's cool now...
I am using C# + VSTS 2008 + .Net 3.5 + ASP.Net + IIS 7.0 + ADO.Net + SQL Server 2008. I want to develop an ASP.Net aspx page which has the following function,
1 It could accept 3 Url parameters param1, param2 and param3, and the request looks like this,
2 When the page is responsed to client browser, I want to display a text input and a submit button nearby in the result html page, and value of text input is the same as param1, in this sample, abc will be displayed in text box, in the browser address bar, I want to keep the original long url http://mysite.com/foo.aspx?parame1=abc¶m2=def¶m3=ghi;
3 When the user change the value in text input, and click submit button, I want to send this request again to foo.aspx, and changing the param1 value to the value which user entered in text input, and at the same time, keep values of parame2 and param3 the same as last request's response. For example, when user requests http://mysite.com/foo.aspx?parame1=abc¶m2=def¶m3=ghi, and the page displays, when user changes text input from abc to google, the new request will be http://mysite.com/foo.aspx?parame1=google¶m2=def¶m3=ghi
Any reference samples? My question is I do not know how to implement so many functions in one aspx page.
I need to I can make the web request to a webservice which take a XML argument. And is expected to return a Binary response. I am able to make the request but while recieving the response back I am unable to get the response in binary. When I read the response using streamreader see the header and some attached "HEBRISH" words probably binary but unable to sepreate it out. Please help in seprating out the binary the response data.
how do u handle dates in mvc when request is a http GET? I remember some discussoin on this last year but cant find the posts.. things like culture unaware, splitting the date field to 3 text fields insted of 1.
I'm currently trying to setup testing with Selenium. It seems that Selenium sends a HEAD request to my route /Home/Index before it sends the GET request. This causes all my tests to fail. I was wondering how I would go about getting HEAD requests to respond correctly (not 404).
i have a usercontrol which displays 1 inage this control is used several times on my page. the problem i have some images can be large so i need to load them using http request i think, i want to display a loading image until the actual image is loaded, what would be the best way to do this?
