Server.Transfer , Response.Redire ct, #Include, & Security?

I've got an application that I want to redirect to another file while
keeping the location of the file hidden. In other words,

WEBROOT.COM/REDIT.ASP?a=14

is going to display the contents of file
WEBROOT.COM/SECURE12954

without the user knowing they are in the /SECURE12954 subdir.

Which is better to protect that privacy the name of the /SECURE12954 subdir?

<%Server.Transf er("/SECURE12954")%>
or
<%Response.Redi rect("/SECURE12954")%>
or
<!-- #include file="/SECURE12954" -->
Thanks,

-Bill.

I know the response redirect will change the address in the web browser
thus letting the user know what folder they are in. I'm not sure about
the other options. One other thing you might consider is placing
"SECURE1295 4" outside the web. The following address has some articles
about doing this http://www.aspfaq.com.

Hi All, Got a quick query in relation to the Server.Transfer method available in IIS 5+/ASP. I've got an issue where I want to take a portion of an online app and extract this out into a web site on its own, so I will end up having two web sites. This planned to aid problems we've been having with performance, as if the portion (which is an app in its own right) has problems we then have to restart the whole site and so bring everything...

I set the Response.Filter in my aspnet application but I have noticed that if you do a Server.Transfer that the filter doesn't get called. And in actual fact the response is mostly empty. It seems that only scripts get rendered. I have seen this mentioned on this newsgroup before but with no resolution. Can anyone give any insight into this problem. Is there a work around? Manually push the Reponse.OutputStream through your filter after...

Hi We are trying to stream a file using server.transfer rather than response.redirect. We have it working for IIS 5.0 but IIS 6.0 refusing to let us transfer the file. If we do the less efficient prompt/response technique to the browser both work fine. We found this article that was only slightly appicable (ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.2004APR.1033/enu_kbiis/iis/326965.ht kb 326965 ) but since csv is already a defined mime type this shouldn't...

I've got an page (LOGIN.ASPX) that receives the user's login information. During the page load, it checks the credentials against a database and, if validation is successful, creates an instance of an object that stores the user's basic profile data (username, user type, associated sales region, etc.). I've been taking this user info and placing it in the Session object like so... Session = user;

I've got a custom HttpHandler to process all requests for a given extension. It gets invoked OK, but if I try to do a Server.Transfer I get an HttpException. A Response.Redirect works, but I really need to avoid the extra round-trip to the client. I've tried Passing the page name, the full URL, and the instance of the handler class to the Transfer method, but everything gets me the same error 500. Any help would be appreciated.

When a server encounters the line Response.Redirect("abcd.asp") in a ASP script, the server tells the browser that it has to be redirected to another page (which is abcd.asp, in this case). The browser then makes a new request to the server to redirect itself to abcd.asp after which the user gets redirected to abcd.asp. But in case of Server.Execute (or Server.Transfer), when the server

Hi. When using Server.Transfer() to switch the request to a specific web form (as opposed to a class implementing IHttpHandler, if it makes any difference), do I have to do something special to have Request.IsAuthorized set properly? When searching for a solution I read that Server.Transfer() does not invoke the AuthorizeRequest event or something. Is there maybe a way to make that happen since the request is being transferred to a web...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
