View 3 RepliesHoping there's been a "best practices" way to accomplish this so far. Basically, I'm building an ASP.NET MVC 3 site that I would like to host from a central database and server. I'd like for [domain1].com and [domain2].com to point back to this one server. Ideally, I'd like this server to see a request from domain 1, and serve content relevant to domain 1 (which is essentially a category of topical information -- the rest of the structure would be the same). I'd like folks not to get redirected away from that domain if possible.I'm thinking I should map each domain to a specific static IP, have all connections through those IPs connect to the central site, and return relevant data that way.What experiences have folks had doing this with the .NET stack, and are there any "best practices" to consider in this case?This might not be as clear as it could be; I'll aim to revise as I get questions.
View 1 RepliesI have an ASP .NET website that uses cookieless sessions When the initial request is made to the site IE just displays the standard "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" message Firefox displays the following message: The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. *This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies. The site works fine with my development server and under IIS6. If I switch off cookieless sessions then everything is fine
View 3 RepliesWhat 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>
How do you put views and content in a separate assembly that can be referenced from a MvcApplication?
View 3 RepliesI'm going to be in a situation where I'll have www.DomainA.com and www.DomainB.com, each having seperate IPs. All requests to www.DomainB.com/{Path}, I'd like to redirect to www.DomainA.com/{Path}.
My initial reaction was, in the base directory, to simply create a HTTPModule and Web.config to add in the module, where the module would then redirect the request to DomainA.
The only problem with this is IIS is not executing the module, and instead determining itself whether or not there is a matching file or application to run based upon the requested path (i.e. so you'll either get an error about the requested file not existing, or a security error about not finding the requested application).
What do I need to change in IIS to always run my module? Or is there any easier way to do this using .Net 2.0 & IIS6?
I would like to serve a custom 404 page from ASP.NET MVC. I have the route handler and all the infrastructure set up to ensure that nonexistent routes are handled by a single action:
public ActionResult Handle404()
{
Response.StatusCode = 404;
return View("NotFound");
}
Problem: IIS serves back its own content (some predefined message) when I set Response.StatusCode to 404 before returning the content.
On the VS development web server, this works as intended - the status code of the HTTP response is 404 while my content (the NotFound view) is served.
I believe that when the IIS processing pipeline sees that the application returns 404, it simply replaces the whole response with its own.
What setting in IIS affects this behavior?
I do not have access to the IIS installation so I can not investigate this - however, I can ask the hosting provider to tweak the configuration for me if I know what exactly needs to be changed.
I'm running ASP.NET on an IIS6 server. Right now the server is set up to compress dynamically generated content, mainly to reduce the page size of ASPX files that are being retrieved.
Once of the ASPX files has the following bit of code, used to fetch a file from the database and send it to the user:
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.ContentType = Document.MimeType;[code]....
The download itself works perfectly. However, the person downloading the file doesn't get a progress bar, which is incredibly annoying.
From what research I've been doing, it seems that when IIS sets the transfer-encoding to chunked when compressing dynamic content, which removes the content-length header as it violates the HTTP1.1 standard when doing that.
What's the best way to get around this without turning dynamic compression off at the server level? Is there a way through ASP.NET to programatically turn off compression for this response? Is there a better way to go about doing things?
I'm implementing Outputcache in my application and it works fine, but the first time always take a lot to load and the next following request will be faster...
I would like to know if there is a way to initiate the page caching on the server side and serve the cached page upon the very first request, rather than have it triggered by the user one first time.
I think I might be missing something obvious but I'm not sure. The other day I was trying to run throught the windows live ID domain verification process on my asp.net mvc site. Part of the process requires you to download a text file and put it in the root of your site which your domain points to. When I would click the verify button in the windows live app verification process it would fail. In a browser, I could hit the request the text file and get a 200, which puzzle me. I then used this site http://www.internetofficer.com/seo-tool/redirect-check/ to check for any redirection issues. Suprisingly when I enter in the url to check, in my case http://www.whatitcoststobeme.com/741KXPjf42zgZRnV6O1LsO92.txt, it returns a 500 error. I ran this same test against a non-MVC site and the verificaton process passed plus the redirection checker return a 200 ("direct link" on their site). The environment this was tested in was IIS7.
why this is happening with static content on a ASP.NET MVC site? I want to say it's something to do with the url routing handlers.
so I see these opinions/tutorials about serving static content to support views, from files that co-reside in directories with those views:http://forums.asp.net/p/1258895/2347379.aspx#2347379http://haacked.com/archive/2008/06/25/aspnetmvc-block-view-access.aspxIn the second article, Phil says view-adjacent static content was default-enabled at the time (over a year ago). Unfortunately, though, I reference:
[Code]....
and by default ASP.NET is trying to find it adjacent to my view, which (voila!) is disabled by default. Grr. :)What is the out-of-box IDE-assisted way to reference view-specific static content that doesn't require hardcoding directory tree structures into my path, and also doesn't require ALL of my assets to be in a single folder?Or, if I do it the "unpure" way like I'll probably do if I don't get other ideas (by modifying /Views/Web.Config HttpFileNotFoundHandler), should I block anything unsafe besides .ASCX, .ASPX, and .MASTER that is likely to show up in my views folder?
I have two aspx pages that both use the same master page. Master page is more or less the default from VWD 2010 web application (Site.Master).
So both page A and B have the same:
[Code]....
The difference when shown in web browsers is (tested on Chrome and Firefox) that PageB looks like it has one more blank row/space on top of the page. How is this possible?
I have a logon/register control that is on several pages. Users are logged on with code: - FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(Userid, False) Response.Redirect(Request.Url.AbsoluteUri) ' Round trip is necessary to complete logon
All this was working OK, except that there was a problem with Internet Explorer users: if their browser had the default privacy setting the authorization cookie was rejected. There was no message, but they were not logged on. See [URL] To try to solve this problem I changed to cookieless authentication, but now the logon control doesn't work. The problem is that after cookieless authentication the URL changes from
[URL]
However Request.Url.AbsoluteUri remains http://localhost:3641/TestGDB/login_pages/home2.aspx even after the logon, and so with cookieless authentication the user is not logged on as there is no authentication ticket in the redirect URL.
The problem is "solved" by changing the Redirect statement to Response.Redirect("~/login_pages/home2.aspx") which works perfectly for this particular page, but is obviously wrong when the control is on other pages.
How do I write "Response.Redirect(current page)"?
I just did an audit of one of my web application page (built using ASP.Net and running on development server) using Google chrome's developer tool. One particular warning caught my eyes:
Serve static content from a cookieless domain (5)!
Here is my screen shot [URL] as well. I would like to know is it possible to avoid cookies for these kind of requests. I see that there is no cookie requests for javascript files as well. I it possible to avoid cookies in the header for these files as well? and why didn't the browser attach cookies for javascript files and attach for CSS and image?
I have IIS 7.5 with an ASP.NET application. The application must run with IIS Classic Mode.
I have one HttpHandler that serves all the Request:
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="*.aspx" type=".....HandlerFactory..." />
</httpHandlers>
The problem is that i can't establish a Default Document to an non phyisical file. I want that the Default Page be : Home.aspx (which is a non phyisical file).
So when I go: [URL] I get an error: HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.
I do not want to make a REDIRECT.
Is there any way to accomplish this without having to create a index.html to redirect to Home.aspx?
we're in the process of trying to speed up the performance of our website by serving static content from a cookieless domain. That seems to be going well, but I have a new question:
I know that it's "static content" that we're talking about when serving it from a cookieless domain, but we also have static content being served by ASPX pages, specifically images. For example:
domain.com/resizeImages.aspx?src=images/image123.jpg&width=400&height=400
How can I serve the resizeImages.aspx image without ASP.NET setting a cookie on my browser? (At present it sets an ASPXANONYMOUS cookie.)
I have a domain which is receiving quite a few hits per day and have been asked if I can serve the static content from a subdomain. As the site is quite extensive and already written, I was wondering if there is any way I can use URL rewriting to change:
www.example.com/image.gif
to
static.example.com/image.gif
I have a solution which works using 301 redirects but from what I understand, this is counter productive as 2 requests will have to be made per image. I don't really want to go through all the aspx pages and css to hard code the new url as it will cause problems further down the line - some parts of the site are still being developed and static content could change at any time. I tried using rewrite (as opposed to redirect) to change the url but it came out something like:
http://www.example.com/http://static.example.com/image.gif
How would you achieve this? I have full access to dns and the server (win 2008r2 / IIS 7.5) so can make any changes if url rewriting is not the answer.
When I serve an ASP.NET page, can I render the various controls on the page in parallel?
I have a few Telerik controls (RadGrids) on the page and when I step through the page being loaded, it seems as though the controls are databound and rendered serially.
Maybe this behavior is because I am hooked in with the debugger.
Is there anyway to load the page and have select controls build on separate threads? Is that even conceptually possible or must it be done sequentially?
I recently added a URL rewrite rule to my website so that all URLs that contain upper case letters are 301 redirected to the same URL, but replaced with lower case letters. [URL] redirect to [URL]. After running the IIS SEO toolkit, it's complaining about unnecessary redirects because of this rule whenever a link containing uppercase letters, like <a href="www.asp.com/MyPage.aspx">click</a>, is within my website. Since it's doing a 301 redirect, does it really hurt to leave the upper case letters in tact in the links, or am I going to have to go through hundreds, possibly thousands of links and manually switch the casing to all lowercase?
View 2 RepliesResponse.RedirectPermanent(Url); can redirect permanently to a url.
However, during my SEO process, I decided to change my routhing rule.
For example,
I change "/tag/{tag}-quotes" routing rule to "quoes-about/{tag}", but I don't want to lose all the traffic to old routing url.
What is the best way to handle this permanent redirection?
I realized that IE8 does not allow links from cross domains to be displayed in IFrame.
It seems like there are only two Header options that Microsoft allows to modify.
X-FRAME-OPTIONS : "DENY" (This does not display any IFrame content )
X-FRAME-OPTIONS : "SAMEORIGIN" (Displays content from the same domain)
Is there a work around to allow content from other domains to be displayed?
I set my web.config with a custom error for 404 and 403 response but when I try to navigate my page (not exist page). It displays the default IIS6 404 page instead of my custom page...

i see that my site is a little slow in my localhost it is fast but in the server not but i see that videos are displayed without problems so i dont think that is from bandwith but i am not sure which are the main things that make a page go slow? sessions can be one of that?? or connections with database??or something else?
View 8 RepliesI have a site .net 2.0 and I redirected users to alogin page when the hit the site. (I think the default.aspx page)
But i cant remember how i did it.
I am now wanting upgrade to asp.net mvc appbut the redirect is still there to a nonexistent page.
