View 1 RepliesI need to build a proxy (maybe a bad description) that receives an XML file from a 3rd party, saves it, sends it on to another 3rd party, gets the response back and passes that back to the original 3rd party. Let's call that entire process a "unit".Should I use a webservice? A Generic Handler? Something else?
I might have to do 20 "units" per second, but I know that each "unit" may span 30 seconds to a minute each, so really, I mean that I need to be able to have 1200 of these "units" running at the same time, in all varying stages of the process that I described above.As far as the file saving goes, I eventually want to put this into a database, but I would imagine that writing the file is quicker than actually saving the data into a database, so I'll just have another process that isn't nearly as time critical as this grab the files and insert them into the DB at its own convenience.
The "app" will only consist of 1 page and it will be running under SSL. This will likely be the only thing on this server at any given time to ensure that this little process is not a bottleneck.What in .Net would be a good (fast and scalable) way to go about this? I don't have any effective limit on what I would need as far as hardware goes -- so I can get a screaming machine if it would guarantee no bottlenecks.
I learned from internet that webservices can be invoked only by HTTP whereas WCF can be invoked by HTTP,TCP,et., can i know the difference between them

Can i use Fault Exception when i get the Exception.
THere is an external ASHX url that dinamically generates an XML file.
I tried to parse this XML using the doc.Load("http://www.domain.com.br/asp.net/integration.ashx") but it haven't worked.
The same code above work fine if I use a XML file instead of ashx one.
I need to read the XML file generated by the ASHX one in order to integrate the websites.
Because i want concatinate that value with image filename.

For our application we provide users with file downloads that utilize handlers to serve the files. Currently, the way it is served to the user is through window.location. When using this, at times, it causes issues under IE8. When an error occurs, it cannot be caught under the page that called it.
A) Is there a way to serve an ashx file handler to the user where the page that called it can catch any exceptions made from thje handler
B) What is the correct way to serve the handler, eg. window.open, window.location, etc. Would return false at the end of the javascript solve this? Are there any other ways
Just looking for a bit of advice really my colleage suggested using a http handler .ashx file to handle the ajax calls that I will be getting on a web app via a jquery plug in on the page.What i have previously done is write a page _ControlName.aspx which looks at the url an takes or supplies what it needs in json format.What is the better way to handle ajax?

Actually the handler never gets called. I already searched the forums and tried some tips and hints. But nothing of that worked. Try to call the url via[URL]
Can u explain me what ASHX HttpHandler uses for?
View 7 RepliesThere is an ashx file containing "ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)" method which gets triggered automatically. When and how does it get fired?Another question, How can I get the current QueryString when I am inside this file? When I type "context.Request.QueryString" it says it's null or empty although the address have arguments.
View 1 RepliesI've got a simple ASHX handler that returns an dynamically generated image; the image is generated from a custom created class, and an object belonging to this class is passed to the handler using Session (I'd rather avoid using QueryString).The handler is used as the URL of an image on a ASP form which is very simple: a drop down list, a button and an image. Basically, depending on what the user selects from the list, the appropriate image will be generated once the button is pressed.
At the start the actual image has it's Visible property set to false; I don't want the handler to display anything before the data is all there.Once the button is pressed, the required Session parameter is added containing the necessary object, and the page is refreshed using Server.Transfer. When the Page_load method detects that the Session parameter has been correctly set, it sets the Visible parameter on the image to true.After that the handler fires up and generates the image.
So far so good... However, if the user now picks something different from the list and presses the button, despite the correct object being passed in the Session, the image won't be updated. In fact, the handler won't even fire up (if I put a breakpoint in there). I need to close the browser window and reopen it for it to work.Any ideas what could be the cause of such behaviour?I suspect the answer is very simple, and I just don't know something fundamental about ASP (or handlers)...
In my web application I use an ashx file to write a file to the browser. I've noticed that there's no compression over the .ashx file, but only over my .aspx files.
Is it possible to compress .ashx? And if it is possible, how?
Currently I use global.asax to handle the compression:
<%@ Application Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO.Compression" %>
<script runat="server">
void Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HttpApplication app = sender as HttpApplication;.......
As you can see only files which inherit from 'Page' are compressed, and my ashx file is not of type Page. So I added a condition and now it works just fine:
if (!(app.Context.CurrentHandler is Page ||
app.Context.CurrentHandler.GetType().Name == "SyncSessionlessHandler" ||
app.Context.CurrentHandler is ViewMht // This is the type I had to add
) ||
app.Request["HTTP_X_MICROSOFTAJAX"] != null)
return;
My web site has a handler (FileDownload.ashx) that deals with all file download requests. I've recently migrated my site to ASP.Net 4.0, and it now uses routing extensively. Everything works fine when dealing with page requests (aspx), but it's not working with my handler - I encounter the following error:
Type '<snip>.Handlers.FileDownload' does not inherit from 'System.Web.UI.Page'.
This makes sense, as routing is only implemented in the page. So, my question is, what steps do I need to take to be able to use routing and my ASHX together? I want to be able to extract RouteData.Values from the url.
public class FileDownload : IHttpHandler
{
}
