I have the next problem: I need to process only 1 request at a time from each user. Lets assume that server identifies each user be UserID, sent in query string.cHow can make the server work the way like FIFO (do not start processing next request until the previous is fully processed)? Should I use the named mutexes inside HTTP handler and assign the name to mutex by UserID?
View 1 RepliesI'm using Microsoft's PivotViewer control in one of my Silverlight projects. I'm creating a JIT collection and was hoping to dynamically generate the images based on the rendered result of a WPF UserControl. In order to generate the images I'm using an HTTP Handler to serve the images up dynamically.
how I might best go about this. It's all quite a mashup of technologies and a bit difficult to know where best to begin.
EDIT: I have found a guy that's done this in ASP.Net MVC here -
I create custom HTTP handler for auto generating file and I want to tell IIS7 to serve current request like normal static file because I need to use IIS and web.config file to control compression setting and any other HTTP header of current requested file.I know. there is an internal class called StaticFileHandler in ASP.net. But I cannot access it. Or you have any other way to work like this.
View 1 RepliesI know that similar questions have been asked all over the place, but I'm having trouble finding one that relates directly to what I'm after.
I have a website where a user uploads a data file, then that file is transformed and imported into SQL. The file could be up to 50mb in size, and some times this process can take 30 minutes or sometimes even longer.
I realise I need to palm off the actual work to another process, and poll that process on the web page. I'm wondering what the best approach would be though? Being a web developer by trade, I'm finding all this new Windows Service stuff a bit confusing, and I just wanted somewhere to start.
So:
Can I do / should I being doing this with a windows service? if so, how?
Should I use WCF? If this runs under IIS, will I have problems with aspnet_wp.exe recycling and timing out my process?
clarifications
The data is imported into sql, there's no file distribution taking place.
If there is a failure, it absolutely MUST be reported to the user. The web page will poll every, lets say, 5 seconds, from the time the async task begins, to get the 'status' of the import. Once it's finished another response will tell the page to stop polling for status updates.
queries on final decision
ok, so as I thought, it seems that a windows service is the best idea. So as to HOW to get it to work, it seems the 'put the file there and wait for the service to pick it up' idea is the generally accepted way, is there a way I can start a process run by the service, without it having to constantly be checking a database table / folder? As I said earlier, I don't have any experience with Windows Services - I wondered if I put a public method in the service, can I call it somehow?
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
View 3 RepliesI am using making application asp.net 2.0. In my page there is Data List which is having two buttons. When user click on the button it is doing some process and taking some time. Due to that user some time click twice and it will make problem in application. So to stop that I wanted to show progress bar until button click process done.
View 6 RepliesBackground:
We are using the Facebook API and receive back URLs for profile image thumbnails. Unfortunately the protocol is restricted to just HTTP and it doesn't support HTTPS. The page on our site that hosts the thumbnails is always delivered via HTTPS, and if we use HTTP for the thumbnails the user will receive security warnings from their browser.
Solution:
Build an HTTP Handler that "passes through" the image from the Facebook URL, but allow the handler to be called via HTTPS. Before I started coding I thought I could something like this:
Response.OutputStream = WebRequest.Create(FacebookUrlForThumbnail)
but I ended up having to save the image to an object in memory than write the image to the Response.OutputStream using the image save function.
Current Code:
[Code]....
This seems inefficient but I can't find a way of using the HTTP Handler as I orginally intended. Is there way of accomplishing the goal without creating the image memory and just "passing through" the call?
clear my concept What is HTTP module and HTTP Handler and how does they work while page requesting???

I have an older classic ASP website that I am migrating over to IIS7.5. I don't feel like installing classic ASP on the server, and so I just want the .asp files to be treated as if they were .aspx files.
How do I go about doing this in IIS7.5?
EDIT: To clarify, I am NOT asking how to get classic ASP code to work under .Net. I am just asking how to map the .ASP file extension to be handled by the .net runtime. I will upgrade the code in the .asp files to .net.
EDIT:
I gave up and ended up installing classic ASP, as I couldn't get the mapping to work (received a combination of 404.17 and 404.3 errors). I marked David Lively's answer as correct as it was the most detailed and helpful.
I'm trying to write an HTTP GET handler. The path should start with http://site/processTask and have a set of URL-encoded parameters. I have the following in my web.config
<httpHandlers>
<remove verb="*" path="*.asmx"/>
<add verb="*" path="*.asmx" validate="false" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add verb="*" path="*_AppService.axd" validate="false" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" validate="false"/>
<add verb="GET" path="processTask*" type="MyHandler.ProcessTaskHandler, MyHandler"/>
</httpHandlers>
now when I type the URL http://mysite/processTask in browser I get HTTP 404 but if I change the add verb line to the following one:
<add verb="GET" path="processTask.asmx*" type="MyHandler.ProcessTaskHandler, MyHandler"/>
and type http://mysite/ProcessTask.asmx in browser the handler is run and I get the response from the handler. What's the problem? Why is the handler run only when the path contains .asmx? How do I change web.config so that .asmx is not required?
Here's what I want to do:
I've created a class library project
and this has a class implementing
the IHttpHandler interface. Let's
call this class ZipHandler. Let's
say the namespace is Zip.
I want that whenever any Http
request comes for a zip file, my
ZipHandler should handle it,
regardless of whether the request is
to an Asp.Net application or a
normal virtual directory.
Queries:
Is it possible (it should be given
the hype about integrated pipeline
etc. in IIS 7)?
How to do it?
[Code]....The WebResource.axd handler must be registered in the configuration to process this request?
View 4 RepliesI am new to this topic. SO please look over my stupid mistakes. I have web application and its virtual directory path is as followshtpp://localhost/TxtXmlImggHandler/This root has three pages one for text, one for xml, one for images. Actually these pages call three different handlers. I had no problem when I send/receive some data to HTTPHandler for processing, had no problem when I request xml file from HTTPHandler.Now I am trying to get image from HTTPHandler, but no luck. All my HTTPHandlers are sitting in root of my web application

I have an VS2010 ASP.NET 4 web site app, to which I added the new Chart control.
When I deployed it to our web server, we get a" Internal Server Error 500." message.
I noticed that the following lines were added to the web.config since the last release, related to the chart control:
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add path="ChartImg.axd" verb="GET,HEAD,POST" type="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartHttpHandler, System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
validate="false" />
</httpHandlers>
If I remove this added code from the web.config, the site works--Except for the charting functionality.
How do I get the site and the chart page to work?
This is not an issue on IIS versions < 7.
In my MSSQL Server I have a table named Nomogram including an attribute named Img1 which include an image of type varbinary(MAX)I wish to load that image on my webform using an http-handler (ashx).How do I do that?

View 29 RepliesScenario: I have a bunch of web applications for which I want to add a simple ping functionality via http handler. Example: [URL]
Problem: For some of the applications this approach does not work becasue of custom HttpModule. These modules have some depedency on either authentication or some other processing logic due to which it makes the request invalid.
I am trying to find a solution to get this ping functionality work without making any changes to existing HttpModules.
I'm using output caching in my custom HTTP handler in the following way:
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
TimeSpan freshness = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 60);
context.Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now.Add(freshness));
context.Response.Cache.SetMaxAge(freshness);
context.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Public);
context.Response.Cache.SetValidUntilExpires(true);
...
}
It works, but the problem is that refreshing the page with F5 leads to page regeneration (instead of cache usage) despite of the last codeline:
context.Response.Cache.SetValidUntilExpires(true);
UPD: Seems like the cause of problem is that HTTP handler response isn't caching on server. The following code works well for web-form, but not for handler:
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Server);
Are there some specifics of the caching the http handler response on server?
I want to use HTTP Handler in order to create a RSS feeds.

i have an ASP.NET 4.0 HTTP handler that should receive and send data in json format. I'm using jquery to send json objects serialized in a string to the handler. It correctly sends the request but i don't know how i could retrieve the data from the httpcontext passed to the handler and how i could deserialize it..
UPDATE 1
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "myurl.ashx",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: $.toJSON({

}),
success: function (response) {

I'm just reading about implementing my own HTTP handler for ASP.NET 4.0 and IIS7. This looks really cool. I want special processing for ZIP files and it seems like an HTTP handler is the perfect solution.However, what's giving me trouble is that the handler must be in a separate assembly. So how can I access the rest of my application from this assembly?Specifically, I'd like to determine if the user is authenticated and redirect them to the login page if they are not. But User.Identity.IsAuthenticated, etc. will not be available from my handler.(Yes, I know there are ways to approach this without an HTTP handler but they don't seem appropriate for my specific needs.)
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to determine the HTTP protocol version (e.g. 1.0 vs. 1.1) used for a request within a .ashx handler? I can see all of the header information except for the version in Request.Params.
If not, what avenues are available to discover the HTTP protocol version when processing an HTTP request in ASP.Net?
Is it possible to cache the response of a http handler on the server and on the client?This doesn't seem to be doing the trick:
_context.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Public);
_context.Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now.AddDays(7));
We are providing downloads of our application setups through an ASHX handler in ASP.NET.
A customer told us he uses some third party download manager application and that our way of providing the files currently does not support the "resume" feature of his download manager application.
My questions are:
What are the basic behind resuming a download? Is there a certain HTTP GET request that tells me the offset to start at?
I use http handler for loading images.
