Requests Go Through Application_BeginRequest In Global?
Feb 17, 2011
I am trying to create a 404 handling page but I am now stuck with the page only working for .aspx files, which isn't really what I need.I am running on IIS6.The site has a wildcard mapping,for extensionless URLs.All requests go through Application_BeginRequest in Global.asax but not all errors go through Application_Error.Is there a way where I can get the Application_Error to raise for non .aspx files?
I have a site with multiple domains pointing to it. I wanted to redirect all requests to main domain so I've created a method called RedirectToRealDomain("domain.com") to check and redirect all requests to my preferred domainAt the moment it lives on Session_Start but I am planing to move it to Application_BeginRequest event. As I understand Session_Start only raised when new session started but Application_BeginRequest raised on all requests. RedirectToRealDomain method doesn't do any DB lookups or anything expensive apart from comparing strings.
I want to protect one file in a subdirectory with Global.asax. (I know that this isn't the conventional way of going about this) but it works on my computer and not on the server.I have a global.asax file in my root dir and Application_BeginRequest checks if the user is requesting a particular file. If they are logged in, it allows access. If they are not logged in they are redirected to the default page.My problem is this: My code works on my personal computer but does not work on the server. Do I have to configure a setting in the web.config or adjust something on the server? Code:
Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Dim fullOrigionalpath As String = Request.Url.ToString.ToLower 'PROTECTED FILE If fullOrigionalpath.Contains("/uploads/groups.xls") Then If HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated = False Then Response.Redirect("~/login.aspx") End If End Sub
I fill a third-pard component variable in Global.Application_BeginRequest(). Everything is fine until I set IIS7 into the Integrated mode. In that case the method Application_BeginRequest() is not called (Application_Start is ok).May be some module is registered wrong?(I have found a same problem here on forum, but without a solution:[URL]
I am doing some redirecting of old url in global.asax's application_beginrequest. Redirecting works fine when getting the url's using an http get but not when using an http head request.
What's the simplest and most effective way to selectively redirect HTTP requests to your ASP.NET page to its HTTPS equivalent? For example, if my page site URL is [URL], I want to redirect some (or all) page requests to [URL] What's the easiest way to do that?
I have two versions of a website. One runs on IIS server on a local PC, the other runs on the ASP.NET development environment included on Visual Studio (localhost). Apart from that, the file stucture of both is the same, although only the one running on IIS works properly, and this seems to be related to the fact that the IIS version calls Application_BeginRequest() where the other doesn't.
I've looked at the differences between IIS server and the ASP development environment in: [URL], and it says that IIS and the ASP development server deal with static content in that for IIS in that on IIS static content does not go through the ASP.NET runtime like it does on the dev environment (but I'm not sure exactly what this means).
I've done a number of tests involving images, etc, and have noticed that when the image is of the form:
<img src="Image/MyImage.jpg...>
the IIS server version calls Application_BeginRequest(), but the visual studio development environment version doesn't.
In my case, it is necessary to call Application_BeginRequest because this creates a new path and calls RewritePath().
The problem occurs when using links such as <a href="..." ...>, because if I use static content it won't call Application_BeginRequest() and the path won't be re-written. But If I change it to href=" %=ResolveUrl("~/...")%>" (for some reason, it will only call BeginRequest() if the path begins with a tilde ~), the path is re-written incorrectly.
I'm not really sure how to find out why the IIS version is calling Application_BeginRequest() from all the time (the callstack just says "external code"), or why it is calling it whereas the local dev server version isn't.
If anybody can explain this, or knows of any sites that go into this so I can master the basics, I'd be very grateful.
I've seen a few posts about Application_BeginRequest, but non seems to have my problem.
My Application_BeginRequest is being called for every image in my website.
The StaticFile Handler is enabled with * as the Path, but it's at the end of the list.
Is this the normal behaviour? Or should I add .gif, .jpg and so on on top of the list?
This is on my IIS7.5 Win7 Development Server. Didn't check it on the production server yet.
Update: Setting runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests=false would help. But then the ASP.NET URL Mapping does not work anymore. I tried disable it just for the image directly, but that had no effect?
I've got some tracing statements with timestamps on an ASP.Net IIS application that gets a lot of traffic. I've got trace statements at the end of Application_BeginRequest and the beginning of Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute in my Global.asax. Occasionally there is a big delay between the end of BeginRequest and the start of PreRequestHandlerExecute, i.e. more than 5 seconds.
What is going on in the lifecycle of an HttpRequest between these two method calls that could be taking so long? This is IIS7 on Windows Server 2008.
I'm trying to get a reference to the user object in my Global.asax file's Application_BeginRequest. I'm using the property Context.User but I get a NullReferenceException. Is it possible to get a user object reference in Application_BeginRequest?
We are obesrving strange problems when performing sress test of our applciation. We use Application_BeginRequest and Application_EndRequest to log the beginning and end of the web request, together, with the thread id.
However, from our logs, we see that Application_Begin_REquest is not being fired:
We use the following code to do the logging in global.asax.cs:
You can see that there are two "End request" in the last two lines, but there is no (Begin) Request for the last log line.Our Dbg.WriteLine uses System.Diagnostics trace listeners to ouput data to the file.
Environment: Windows Server 2008 R2, ASP.NET 3.5
This only happens when performin stress test. CPU utilization is around 60%, there are max 10 concurent requests executing.
UPDATE: I have found out that some other also did have similar problems (althoug in different configuration:
http://forums.iis.net/t/1154954.aspx) Matej
UPDATE#2: This night be related to fact, that Thread.GetHashCode() which is used to print out the thread identifier in our log fies could change. See ASP.NET - Thread.GetHashCode() changes
I created a web service on localhost, and I tried to call it from a web app (also on the localhost) via HttpWebRequest, but Application_BeginRequest in Global.asax didn't fire. When I type in IE 'http://localhost:8010/Test/' (the web service) Application_BeginRequest fires. Where is the problem? How can I test a localhost web service from a page which is also on localhost?
I know there is a couple answered questions on here regarding "request scoped" globals, but I want to nit-pick on something specifically and maybe squeeze some extra enlightenment out of one or two of you.I have an ASP.NET C# Website and a static Dictionary of objects (loaded from DB once on Application start). Each page request will need to do a lookup in the Dictionary (based on a key derived from the request url/etc) and get the appropriate object.The issue is I'm trying to maximize efficiency by reducing the lookups to the Dictionary per Request. Doing just a single lookup within a Page itself is easy enough and I can pass the object to sub controls, etc too.. but global.asax is separate from the Page and it also needs to use the object (in Application_BeginRequest and Session_Start).
So is doing a Dictionary lookup once in Application_BeginRequest, once (when necessary) in Session_Start and once in the Page negligible speed wise, even if there are many requests coming in every second?I would like it if I could just have a Request scoped global variable that I can easily call upon.. the only one I see available though is HttpContext.Current.Items and that is a Dictionary itself.Am I beingridiculously nit-picky with my concern over efficiency? or will these milliseconds (nanoseconds?) get me in the long run when more and more requests are being made?
PS. I currently only have around 100 objects in the Dictionary although this may increase in the future.
I have a problem using Application_BeginRequest and I have absolutely no clue what is going on. When using this code, my website works fine:
[Code]....
Now, when I only alter it like this (note that I am actually doing nothing special):
[Code]....
This small change in code causes that forms don't postback anymore. I am truely clueless why this happens when trying to get some request.form variables.Stupid thing is, when debugging the website using visual studio, everything works fine.
Is there a way to retrieving parameter names and values passed to a web method from Request object? I've read somewhere that you need extra code to access the soap body. Any known workarounds to be able to see the soap body from Application_BeginRequest?
I want to implement hit tracking in an HttpModule in my ASP.NET app. Pretty simple, I thought. However, the BeginRequest event of my HttpModule is firing twice for each page hit. The site is very simple right now...no security, just a bit of database work. Should log one row per page hit. Why is this event firing twice?
Moreover, IHttpModule.BeginRequest actually fires a different number of times for the first page hit when running for the first time (from a closed web browser)...3 times when I'm hitting the DB to provide dynamic data for the page, and only 1 time for pages where the DB isn't hit. It fires 2 times for every page hit after the first one, regardless of whether or not I'm touching the DB.
It's interesting to note that Application_BeginRequest (in Global.asax) is always firing only once.
I have experienced some troubles when using the IIS server at my workstation with Windows 7. This is a development machine and I don't need to use it as a production server or anything, but for some tests it's quite usefull to see what happens when a lot of requests comes concurrently (in this case even in the same session).
I have learned that with my edition of Windows 7, the limit of requests is 10, but I thought it only means the limit of requests that can be served at any point of time. What I am experiencing instead, is that after firing 10 requests one by one, if the first one didn't complete before the last one was fired, it never completes. The whole IIS is dead, no further requests are put in the worker process queue (there are already 10 requests there hanging so it kinda makes sense) and the only way to go on is to restart.
Is this a standard behavior that cannot be changed on Windows 7 and does firing 10 requests really have to kill IIS (or at least the current worker process) ? Is there some way to change the configuration to fix it (without compromising the setup by creating bunch of worker processes etc.) ?
Let's imaging there are 2 pages on the web site: quick and slow. Requests to slow page are executed for a 1 minute, request to quick 5 seconds.Whole my development career I thought that if 1st started request is slow: he will do a (synchronous) call to DB... wait answer... If during this time request to quick page will be done, this request will be processed while system is waiting for response from DB.[URL] One instance of the HttpApplication class is used to process many requests in its lifetime. However, it can process only one request at a time. Thus, member variables can be used to store per-request data.Does it mean that my original thoughts are wrong?Could you please clarify what they mean? I am pretty sure that thing are as I expect...
When I open my page in Chrome and use the Resource Tracker, at the bottom of the list of requests, there are two GET requests to the aspx file. They take about 2 seconds each. Each request also causes a warning:
Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME type text/html.
why a page may be requesting itself, and why it is trying to use it as an image?
we are using the WCF service and hosted using a console application, now we are using LoadRunner and hitting it concurrently
Where giving 50 hits at a time few requests (26) gets completed successfully and remaining gives error TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
I have developed some ASP.NET server controls which include their own javascript and css files. A lot of these controls use jQuery extensions which, as you know, often include their own css files.
I'm using Telerik's RadScript manager which combines the javascript like a boss. However, I'm using the AjaxToolkit's ClientCssResource attribute to include the css files in my server controls, and I have noticed that the CSS files are not getting combined at all. My pages have 10-15 WebResource.axd requests for css files for my server controls.
Everything I find only is about combining javascript, and nothing tells me how I can combine the CSS files. Does anyone know if there is a way to combine the CSS dynamically (I don't want to manually combine as each page might use a different subset of the server controls)?
i am planning to host my all images from another domain which is cookiless but i dont want to alter my all image locations can i do this without changing image locations ?
And immediately after you hit any other page that this session ID would be passed to, doesn't matter if it does anything, let's call it Test.aspx. The sequence for loading is like so.
I guess my question is how do I disable this feature. I understand it's useful to have so that session state can be more predictable, however in my case a long running reports page load is killing users' ability to multitask.
