If I want to have log of all requests made within a web site including any http bad requests, is this possible?
For e.g I want to be able to see if every http request from the site including any for images that don't exist etc.
All the things an IIS log has.
Is this possible with HTTP Module or something like the ASP.net Health monitoring?
I have come across this question several times, you need to do some performance testing (request process times, load times, etc) or track unhanded exceptions. The answers usually come down to writing a HTTP Module, hook into specific events and log them somewhere, or use the built in health monitoring?
Why would we use one over the other? What are the pros and cons?
I've set up the health monitoring system to output to the event log. Everything is working fine, though I'm wondering if there is a way to:
A) Define the event source as my application name (it currently appears as ASP.NET 2.0.50727.0)
B) Adjust the level of severity. Currently, all events are recorded as a "Warning", and it would be nice to tag some as "Error".
I've got my e-mail health monitoring working fine (removed here) but when I try to get it into SQL Server it fails. When I run the stored procedure (aspnet_WebEvent_LogEvent) manualy it works OK. But nothing happens when I create an error (but I go get my health monitoring e-mail). What can I have missed?
View 1 RepliesI was going to use ELMAH for our ultimate automatic error logging but recently realized that ASP.NET Health Monitoring does a same work (perhaps). Now I want to know (please) if they are alternatives of each other just like log4net and entlib?

This is for my web app that is meant to be receiving a POST from an external server.
Is it possible to send multiple HTTP requests asynchronously to an ASP.NET web site or any other web server using .NET ? And, then. collect responses from those requests as they come using .NET asynchronous paradigm ? Is it possible ? Or would there still be limit of max 2 HTTP connections from .NET using HTTP ?
View 1 RepliesFor an ASP.NET 4.0 / IIS7 web app, I would like to support compressed HTTP requests. Basically, I would like to support clients that would add Content-Encoding: gzip in the request headers, and compress the body accordingly.
Does anyone known how I achieve such a behavior?
I'm currently reading a lot about node.js. There is a frequent comparison between servers using a traditional thread per request model (Apache), and servers that use an event loop (Nginx, node, Tornado).
I would like to learn in detail about how a request is processed in ASP.NET - from the point it is received in http.sys all the way up to it being processed in ASP.NET itself. I've found the MSDN documentation on http.sys and IIS a little lacking, but perhaps my google-fu is weak today. So far, the best resource I have found is a post on Thomas Marquardt's Blog.
Could anyone shed more light on the topic, or point me to any other resources?
Here's the big picture. We're running a server in IIS 6 that hosts several web sites and applications, and we're in the process of moving the whole thing to a different data center with a slightly different setup. We've notified our users and updated our DNS info so that theoretically everyone will be happily hitting the new server from day 1, but we know that someone will inevitably fall through the cracks.
The powers that be want a "Listener" page/handler that will receive all requests to the server and log the entire request to a text file, including (especially) POST data.
That's where I'm stuck. I don't know how to implement a single handler that will receive all requests to the server. I vaguely understand IIS 6 redirection options, but they all seem to lose the POST data on the redirect. I also know a little about IIS 6's built-in logging, but it ignores POST data as well.
Is there a simple(ish) way to route all requests to the server so that they all hit a single handler, while maintaining post data?
I need to visit a URL, find a specific text box in said page - fill it with data and then submit a form.
How can I accomplish this in C#?
I want to sniff a local HTTP request to an ASP.NET web application.
Is telnet an option?
How do you capture packets to a web application?
The objective of this component is to be able to forward whatever HTTP requests it receives to forward to a different server based on the parameters but keeping the URL and POST data intact. For example:
If the component receives
[URL]
It will return the response from either
[URL]
where XYZ can be valid name of the page. I think I can probably individually create each page to do a Response.Redirect but i am wondering if there is a more generic way to do this? In addition, is this something I have to configure on the IIS level rather than code level?
In my ASP.NET application I set
<system.web><globalization culture="pl-PL" uiCulture="pl-PL" />
to have numbers and dates in this culture.

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 have a long poll HTTP request using ASP.NET 4, MVC 2 and AsyncController. If a user closes their browser and kills the HTTP connection without the request completing, I'd like to know about it and completely clean up after them. If I don't, the open and incomplete requests just sit there and eventually IIS stops accepting new requests.
You can simulate my long running HTTP request by making a normal ASP.NET application with a page that has a Thread.Sleep. Even if you close the browser, the request carries on as if it hasn't.
There is a property called Response.IsClientConnected that gets switched to false if the client disconnects, and I can poll this to achieve the desired effect but it's not very clean and I'd like to avoid polling. Is there a way of getting notified when this happens rather than having to poll this property?
When I was reading the blog Using jQuery to Consume ASP.NET JSON Web Services
I have seen this argument:
"By using jQuery to call the web service directly, we've eliminated over 100 KB of JavaScript and three extra HTTP requests. "
Why does the ASP.NET AJAX call to a .NET Web-Service needs 3 extra HTTP requests? What are those requests? (I wonder how jQuery manages the call with lesser HTTP requests in this case).
I'm using HttpContext.Current.Items to make a Per-Request Cache Store. I'm hitting to many Cache entries over different http requests.
It seems that HttpContext.Current.Items is reused across multiple http requests. Is it normal?
I use four different update panels, that use the same timer as trigger.
1) Will the 4 update panels create 4 different HTTP requests to the server?
2) I'm using 4 different panels as the controls are located in different parts of the page, is there a way of putting them in the same update panel?
3) Is this a good coding practice?
Hi! OK, I'm quite new to web developing and this is a bit difficult to define abstractly so I'll say exactly what I'm trying to do:
I have an asp.net website running on my server. I want to have other websites to have a button which redirects to a specific URL. This URL is determined during the creation (server side) of the other website. I want the other website to request that URL by supplying certain parameters. I'll create the URL accordingly and return a response which contains the URL.
To clarify: User browses other website, gets to page which is supposed to have said button, other website requests URL, supplies params, receives URL and creates page with button with URL received.
It's important to me that this works with any platform of "other" website. What is the simplest way to do this?
