I'm trying to configure IIS 7.5 to compress static htm and js files. Here is my web.config for the web site:
[code]....
Compression starts working when I set doDynamicCompression to true. But I can't use this option because it is disabled at my hosting.
I have an ASP.NET web application that has HTTP compression enabled (through IIS settings). One of the features of the app involves creating multiple text files and packaging them as a single zip file to be downloaded by the user.
With HTTP compression enabled, the files created by the application are zipped twice - once by the web application and once more by HTTP compression; with the result that when the user downloads the zip file, it has 1 file which is the application generated zip file, and this second zip file has the original contents.
My requirement is to disable HTTP compression only for the zip file. How do I achieve this? The file extension "zip" is not included in the metabase file for compression.
I'm tring to implement what Steve Souders discusses [URL] about forcing gzip compression
I've got a module that's running this:
[code]....
CompressionUtils.GzipSupported just checks for the 'accepts-encoding' header while
CompressionUtils.GzipSupportedExplicitly and CompressionUtils.GzipNotSupportedExplicitly check for the cookie saying whether the browser really can read gzip
But when I load a page in Firefox I get this error:
Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
and in Fiddler it shows that the content-encoding header has been added but the content hasn't been compressed
i am trying to compress video files by using gzip in asp.net.
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI'm getting around 50% compression using System.IO.Compression and I think it could/should be getting around 75% by setting the compression level higher. Is there a way to improve the compression level or should I be looking for a different solution?
View 2 RepliesI had an interview today and every thing was going very good, but then an interviewer asked me a question Where Does Static Variable Work in C#- At Application Level or At Page Level.I was not very much clear about this answer as I only knew that static variables are stored on heap and I didn't knew anything about web related thing.
Then he tried to make me more clear by giving an example that in a page I am using static variable and three users are accessing the page one of the user updates the value of static variable, What value will be visible to remaining two users an old copy or the update will be reflected.
If I had a class with a static property that is set when a user loads a particular page, is that static value unique to that users session?
In other words, if a second user then loads the page and sets the static property, will each user have a distinct value, or will both use the second users value?
I have a class that is creating an instance of StreamReader to an xml file on the local filesystem.
It may be possible that this same file is requested multiple times per-second.
I was wondering whether I need to manually add this file to the System.Web.Cache and read it from there, or whether Windows itself is clever enough to cache the item itself so that it 'knows' when ASP.NET requests this file the second/third etc time that it doesnt have to do a disk seek/read operation and pulls it from its own cache?
This article: http://dotnetperls.com/file-read-benchmarks seems to back this up, but this: article:
[URL](although not discussing from a performance perspective, and maybe for other reasons entirely) lists how to add a physical file to the cache.
I use a Masterpage (asp.net webforms) on my site and I woluld like to implement caching of some static files, like javascript, css etc.
I've tried adding the following to my page_load (in the masterpage) but when I use Fiddler the static files are still under "no-cache".
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Set cache for 1 hour on all computers and servers.
// ... Proxies, browsers, and your server will cache it.
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Public);
Response.Cache.SetMaxAge(new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0));
}
What am i doing wrong here?
How do I rewrite the url for static files? When adding something like
RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("test", "style/style.css", "~/Static/Styles/Public.css");
I just want the url /style/style.css to point to another static file on the webserver..
I'm getting this error:
There is no build provider registered for the extension '.css'. You can register one in the <compilation><buildProviders> section in machine.config or web.config. Make sure is has a BuildProviderAppliesToAttribute attribute which includes the value 'Web' or 'All'.
I have a website running on a IIS 7.5 server with ASP.NET 4.0 on a shared host, but in full trust.
The site is a basic "file browser" that allows the visitors to login and have a list of files available to them displayed, and, obviously, download the files. The static files (mostly pdf files) are located in a sub folder on the site called data, e.g. http://example.com/data/...
The site uses ASP.NET form authentication.
My question is: How do I get the ASP.NET engine to handle the requests for the static files in the data folder, so that request for files are authenticated by ASP.NET, and users are not able to deep link to a file and grab files they are not allowed to have?
I am new to MVC. I am using MVC and VS2010. I am trying to publish my website to a remote server. All files are copied except some static pages i have kept inside a folder. for e.g. i have a folder named Content. I have around 5 .pdf files inside this folder and also a .css. When i do Build->Publish <appname> all the files including the .css is copied but not the .pdfs.
View 2 RepliesI had a look through some of the older questions, but I can't find anything.I have a Wildcard HttpHandler on my web app which is processing the url and working out if it can do anything with itIf it can't, then the StaticFile Handler should pick it up and just serve it as a static file (like an html file).The problem is, it's going through the Wildcard handler, then seemingly not going to the StaticFileHander. Is there something I need to do to the Wildcard handler, or in the web config?This is my web.config:
<add name="Wildcard" path="*" verb="*" type="Rewriter.RewriterHttpModule"
modules="IsapiModule" requireAccess="None" allowPathInfo="false"
preCondition="" responseBufferLimit="4194304" />
<add name="StaticFile" path="*.*" verb="*"
modules="StaticFileModule,DefaultDocumentModule,DirectoryListingModule"
scriptProcessor="%windir%Microsoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727aspnet_isapi.dll"
resourceType="File" requireAccess="Read" allowPathInfo="false" preCondition=""
responseBufferLimit="4194304" />
I was under the impression that static files (CSS, images, @font-face files, etc) bypassed ASP.NET completely, and were served directly by IIS. However, my BeginRequest event handler is being called for every HTTP request, including those for static files. This concerns me because I'm creating an Entity Framework data context to be used for the lifetime of each request in that event handler. I don't want to create those contexts if they're never going to be used.
I'm using IIS 7 on Windows 7 Ultimate with so special handler mappings defined. Do I have it wrong? Should these events be firing?
What I want to do it rewrite urls for a bunch of static pages in a locations folder such that
/london
maps to the physical file if it exist in the locations folder eg.
/locations/london.aspx
Is this possible with url rewrite. I can't get the rule to work.
<rule name="Rewrite Locations">
<match url="^([_0-9a-z-]+)/*" />
<conditions>
<add input="/locations/{REQUEST_FILENAME}.aspx" matchType="IsFile" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/locations/{R:1}.aspx" />
</rule>
I have 2 website on my IIS which have the same physical location on disk. Example:
www.xxx.com path on disk : c:wwwxxx.com
img.xxx.com path on disk : c:wwwxxx.com
I want that img.xxx.com only response for static files like images, css and js files.
My main goal is to serve static files from a cookieless domain (using img.xxx.com for cookieless requests). But if I write img.xxx.com to browser i see the same content with www.xxx.com. I want to block all request to img.xxx.com except images, css and js request.
I don't want to set another folder for img.xxx.com because it is very hard for me to change all images url to new url.
Our old ASP.net site stored static images in a sub directory on the root called /images.
Our new ASP.net MVC site stores these images in the new layout of /Content/Images
I've changed all the pages in the site to cope with the new folder structure, but I'd like to set up Permanent Redirects from the old static images to the new location.
We're having the same setup and receiving the same problem as:
[URL]
Setup
Server 2003 32bit, IIS 6
ASP.NET wild card mapping
A virtual directory mapped to an UNC share serving static images for a CMS in a load balancing environment
My question if it's possible to turn off asp.net from virtual and only serve static files e.g. images in the virtual directory, to avoid the problem with too many open connections?
If it's not possible I'll guess I have to implement a solution like [URL] to server the files from a local disc.
I found a possible solution at [URL] that removes the wild card mapping and makes it possible to turn of execution of asp.net files.
I realise that this is going to be a fairly niche requirement and will almost certainly raise a few "WTF's" but here goes...
Within an ASP.NET Webforms application I need to serve static content from a local client machine in order to reduce up-front bandwidth requirements as much as possible (Security policy has disabled all Browser caching). The idea is to serve CSS, images and JavaScript files from a location on the local file system referenced by filesystem links from within the Web application (Yes, I know, WTF's galore but that's how it is). The application itself will effectively be an Intranet app that's hosted externally from a client but restricted by IP range along with standard username/password security. So it's pretty much a hybrid Internet/Intranet application but we can easily roll out packages of files to client machines. I am not suggesting that we expect nor require public clients to download packages of files. We have control to an extent over the client machines in terms of the local filesystem and so on but we cannot change the caching policy.
We're using UpdatePanel controls to perform partial page updates which obviously means that we need to Microsoft AJAX JavaScript files. Presently these are being served (as standard) by a standard resource handler within IIS/ASP.NET. Ideally I would like to be able to take these JS files and reference them statically from a client machine, and no longer serve them via an AXD.
My questions are:Is this possible?If it is possible, how do we go about doing so?
In order to attempt to pre-empt some WTF's the requirement stems from attempting to service a requirement with as little time and effort as possible whilst a more suitable solution is developed. I'm aware that we can lighten the load, we can switch to jQuery AJAX updates, we can rewrite the front-end in MVC etc. but my question is related to what we can quickly deploy with our existing application architecture.
I have a page with an update contentpanel, with 4 panels inside. Image buttons outside the update panel control control which panel is visible. I am trying to call an animation from a javascript function, but the animation doesn't work, everything else does.
main.aspx:
[Code]....
main.aspx.vb:

web.config:

I have an asp.net application with c# language. I have a common class which maintain the constants and static variables and fields. I also have a login page. If the user logs in successful I set IsLoggedInSuccessfull as a static boolean variable in common class.
My question is: Will this only work for a specific user session or for overall application ?
Edited:
Based on some answers I got another question here.
let say i am using the Static method as Authenticate(User objUser). intention is to call this method when user clicked log in button. where on login button I am let say prepare the User object with certain parameters required for login, then passing to this method. what would be the impact there? let say I have single server for now (no server farm or garden). then there will be the single application level method to authenticate the user, right? and say 10000 user are going to logging in to this site/application then how authenticate() method comes in behaves ? will CLR automatically manage threading there ?
Does precompilation have any effect on XML files? i.e. can I obscure/protect xml files using precompilation? I assume that it has no effect as they aren't code.
If I use XML files as Embedded Resources, they appear in the DLL in a text editor as normal text. If the dll is edited and saved using a text editor, will it still work if it is unsigned?
I've always wondered how you can access the correct state of the current http context via a static method:
HttpContext.Current.Session["foo"] = "bar";
In any other program, anywhere else, my initial assumption about working with a static accessor like this is that changing it will change it across all threads. Similarly, another thread running my change it on me while I am trying to use it.But HttpContext.Current does not behave like this. It provides the appropriate state for the given request, even through the static accessor.
i have tired your demo
[URL]
but this is not working change your code
<asp:TextBox ID="txtProductDate" ClientIDMode="Static" runat="server" ReadOnly = "true"></asp:TextBox>
it is always updating values to first datepicker
