[FYI - Posted the same thing over at StackOverflow]I've used the UrlRewriting.Net module for a couple years now without any problems in Windows XP and Windows 2003. I just recently upgraded my home PC to Windows 7 and started developing a new website.The plan was to use .html extensions and rewrite them to their .aspx counterparts using the UrlRewriting.Net module. Everythingworks flawlessly in VWD 2008, but when I try running it through IIS7 it is a different story.
When I try to access a page via the .html rewrite I can no longer access Page.User; it keeps returning null. If I hit the page using it's .aspx extension, Page.User is correctly populated. I should also mention that I have a LoginView controller in my Master Page and it suffers from the same symptoms: When accessing via .html extension it shows the AnonyousTemplate; When using .aspx extension it properly shows the LoggedInTemplate. I'm guessing the two are related.[Note: I've also tried extensionless URLs and they exhibit the same problem]The only way I've gotten it to work is to switch the application pool to Classic, which then requires me to add an ASP.Net ddl handler for the .html extension [otherwise it is handled by the StaticFileHandler and comes up as a 404 error]. However, I'd like my web app to run properly for people without having to fiddle around with IIS.
So I am left with several questions:Does anyone have ideas as to why Page.User always equals null for .html => .aspx rewritten pages?Why does it work in VWD 2008, but not IIS7? What changed from IIS6 => IIS7 that could have caused this? Any other thoughts on workarounds?[Note: I just tried a .aspx => .aspx rewrite and it did not exhibit the problem. Not really what I want, but thought I should mention it.]

Here are the structure of my web site:Login.aspx in the root pathUserInfor.aspx and 1.txt in the sub-directory folder named 'Restricted' Authenticate this website with form authentication configured in IIS, and does not allow anonymous to get into the Restricted folder with the web.config file.I think it should work this way, if I manually access the 1.txt in the browser, I should be able to view the content, and if I go to the modules configuration for this applicaiton in IIS7, find the 'UrlAuthorization' module, and cancle the listbox for 'invoke for requests to asp.net ...', I should be directed to the loginurl setting in the root web.config file when I access the 1.txt file without logging, however, I still can see the content of 1.txt.
For example when a user enters www.homeforhire.com they should be redirected to default.aspx (for operational reasons the user is then redirected to www.homeforhire.com/home.aspx).
Instead an error is caught in the Rewrite module (which should not be activated). I am using an http module to perform URL rewriting.
It appears as if the default document setup is not working correctly, and the requested page ~/ is being sent to the Rewrite module, causing an error (which is then caught by my error handler and the user is redirected to the home page).
Entering www.homeforhire.com/default.aspx works correctly.
Can anyone tell me why the default document settings in the web.config do not appear to be working?
Simple upload has been working for quite a while now, yet it seems to all the sudden not work (but only for specific file types). mp3 can upload, flv cannot (remember, this was all working before).After a little debugging, I discovered that a portion of my code is never being entered because I test something first:
[Code]....
I have discovered that resourceMediaFile.PostedFile is not null, resourceMediaFile.PostedFile.ContentLength is the correct size for the uploaded file, yet resourceMediaFile.PostedFile.ContentType is now null. I've literally had this work over 1,000 times with several files (including the one I'm testing with) and it consistently came back "application/flv".
What would cause ContentType to be null if the other attributes are not?
Our code relies on checking the Context.User.Identity value in the Global.asax Application AuthenticateRequest(...) method to retrieve some information about the logged in user. This works fine in classic mode but when I flip IIS to use the Integrated Pipeline "Context.User" comes back as null, but only intermittently.I have < authentication mode="Windows"> and only Windows Auth enabled in the Virtual Directory.
We have an SharePoint site no login (anonymous) with a search module using AJAX. Now the users complains that the module isn't working. When I check the code (not developed by me), I find that the code only runs if "HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated=true". Could that ever return true on an anonymous site?
I'm still trying to resolve a problem with relative links on a page that uses URL routing. The relative links work find when running from Visual Studio, but fail when deployed to a shared hosting account.I'm told that the difference is that Development Server handles all requests through ASP.NET handler but IIS7 doesn't. The result is that URLs with no extension are considered folders on my test machine, and filenames on the shared hosting account. That breaks the relative links.
It was suggested that I do wildcard mapping to IIS7. But I can't make random changes to the shared server machine. I also have concerns about routing everything through IIS, graphics files, style sheets, javascript files, etc. In addition, I also tried adding a <base> tag, which fixed this issue but broke other links on the page.
So I'm left with two questions.
1. If IIS isn't processing files without an extension, then how does my routed page display as an ASP.NET page?
2. What I'd really like to do is specify in my web.config that all files with no extension be handled the way they're handled when running from Visual Studio. I don't suppose that's possible.
I have web services built with ASP.NET and ASP.NET clients consuming them. When consuming the webservices, how would I to force the clients to use https?
I don't want to force the whole site to use https by turning on require SSL in IIS.
Can I use the IIS7 URL rewrite module to re-route http requests to https?
I've implemented "Approach 3: Using an HttpModule to Perform Extension-Less URL Rewriting with IIS7" from here:http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/02/26/tip-trick-url-rewriting-with-asp-net.aspx That is based on URLRewriter module:http://urlrewriter.net/.It seems to work on my local environment but on production server (running IIS 7) it shows "404 - File or directory not found" page.I've searched on Google and could not seem to find the solution.In the end,we went back to IIS 6 and followed the instructions here which worked:http://urlrewriter.net/index.php/support/installation/windows-server-2003.But someday we may have to upgrade to IIS 7 on a shared hosting environment and the same issue will appear again!
http://mysite.com -> https://www.mysite.com OK http://www.mysite.com -> https://www.mysite.com NOT WORKING
I guess the condition is not being satisfied when I enter www.mysite.com in the browser, so there's no redirect and the page serves as HTTP instead of HTTPS.
I think I just need to modify the condition pattern, but I have almost nothing regex knowledge and I need this asap.
I am using IIS7's URLRewrite feature to hide the .aspx extension in my ASP.NET WebForms application's URLs.
I'm using the following configuration:
[code]....
I can now browse to:
[URL]
and this is rewritten to:
[URL]
This preserves the "pretty" url in the browser address bar. I have also updated all my links on the site to use the extensionless URLs.
The problem is that the underlying .aspx pages can still be accessed directly and I'd like to prevent this.
If a user browses to [URL] I'd like it to either redirect/rewrite to [URL], or at the very least just return a "Page not found".
Update:
I managed to get this working by redirecting all .aspx pages to the home directory. This isn't ideal as I'd prefer to send them to the non-.aspx version, but it will do for now.
I need an app pool recycle to be completely transparent to the users of my web app. I use ASP.NET 3.5 MVC 1.
Currently, upon an IIS 7 App Pool recycle all users logged into my web app are kicked out and are required to log back in (Context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is set to false). I employ SQL State Server, I use forms authentication and both are configured to use cookies. I was under the impression that .NET and/or IIS handles authentication of cookies.
However, every time the app pool is recycled Context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is set to false my users are kicked out and are required to log back in. I can see that the session id remains the same throughout logins, I can also view this session information in the database/state server.
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 made a web page in which there is login screen when user login it goes next page but my problem is if i directly enter the url of that page it open. I want it should not open unless the user log in...
I'm using the MVC2 framework and one of my views has a bit of conditional logic that gets the Page.User.Identity object and does a comparison with other values to determine what to display.That all works fine on the initial page load, but when I make an AJAX call to get partial page updates (I'm doing this all manually with YUI3, not the .NET AJAX stuff) the Page.User object is always null.
I only have a handful of pages, I have no dynamic code, nothing special. All the examples I have found or methods I use in other sites I've developed revolve around dynamic content, pages, etc. I am simply looking for the simplest solution, ideally not requiring any sort of url rewrite module installed. Preferably, I could keep the .html extension instead of converting the site to a ASP.NET project, but that is an option.
I'm new to MVC and am trying to create some more user friendly controls for use on the Create views. I'm able to render a control using a combination of extensions and partial views, however I am unable to bind to those controls as I am with the out of the box controls like html.textboxfor such as:
Html.TextBoxFor( model => model.Capability_Menu_Group_Id)
Although the controls renders on the create form, the value is not set on create. I would like to set up this same construct used with TextBoxFor for my custom controls.
