Request processing

kat
Hi,

I am pretty new to understanding how distributed applications work, and I
just want to understand the flow of a single request. When a request is made
that requires information from n-tiers, does the website pause to wait for it
to go to all the tiers? So if a request had to make multiple queries to a
database on a different system would all those queries have to complete
before the request would return?

Thanks,

kat

Hi kat:

Yes, in general the request is going to flow through each tier in a
single thread or flow of control. The website as a whole doesn't
necessarily 'pause' while this happens - the website can service
multiple requests and each request will process through the tiers to
come up with some results.

In more advanced distributed applications the flow can branch into
multiple operations and some processing can take place asynchronously
or be queued to perform at a later time.

I want to send a biztalk document to an aspx page, and I need to see some sample code, because I just can't make it work. I have a port with transport type HTTP, pointing to my aspx page, something like http://myserver/mypage.aspx. From there it gets blurry, because I just can't figure out how to do the rest. Does anybody have a sample page for me that I can take a look at? Just a simple one that takes whatever biztalk sends and saves it...

I'm attempting to use an HTTP Module to monitor the progress of the request. Is there a way to do this? I've attempted to use the Request.TotalBytes property, and attempted to use the Request.InputStream, but both seem to only respond after the request has been sent to the server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello NG, I'm having some encoding trouble using my own RequestHandler: Since the RequestHandler must be able to serve content with diffrent encoding, I set the Response.Charset and Response.ContentEncoding to the encoding of current content. Furthermore I set the Content-Type META tag of the html page to use the same charset as well. And this all works fine... I get my pages served and both the HTTP headers

Can the CallContext be used reliably for storing request specific data? We are developing an application library that uses the CallContext to keep an IdentityMap (hashtable of business objects that have been loaded from the DB) and a collection of business objects that have been modified during the current request. These object maps need to be globally visible throughout a request and expire at the end of it. The maps are accessed using...

Hi, I have some request specific data that gets created in a "early event", that I need to pass around to many other events. I need access to this data during that request. (and more importantly disapears after the request is completed). But... asp.net "Request" is read only. Is there a request specific global place, where I can put this data into?

Hi, All Ajax libraries I've read use encodeURIComponent() on the name- value pairs extracted from forms before POST ing the result to the server with and xmlhttprequest. I can understand why this encoding is required in the case of a GET request and the form data is attached as a URI query string; however, why is the encoding necessary for POST requests? Thanks,

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,...
