GAC + Http module (ISAPI filter) problem

Dmitry Duginov

I wrote HTTP module and configured it to fire with every request to my
application.

In IIS6 aspnet_isapi.dl l mapped as Application Extension, web.config
contains the following:
<system.web>

<httpModules>

<add name="RefFilter " type="RefFilter .RefFilter, RefFilter" />

</httpModules>

I.e. class name and namespace are the same.

When the assembly is in \bin folder of the application everything works
fine.

For some reasons I need to put this assembly to GAC. I made sure the
assembly has a strong name, then installed it into GAC, removing \bin folder
from the application directory. Now the assembly cannot be loaded (although
I double-check it is properly deployed in GAC), HTTP module doesn't work.
What I am missing here? Exact error message posted below

Regards,

Dmitry

P.S. All the development done on another machine. Only single .dll file has
been copied from there

Hi Dimitry:

You'll have to specify the strong name to have the assembly loaded
from the GAC. i.e:

RefFilter, Version=1.1.100 .0, Culture=neutral ,
PublicKeyToken= BEEFF00DBEEFF00 D

HTH,

HTTP handlers - Maintaining global objects, and multi-threading

We are implementing the IHttpModule, and mapping up the file-types in IIS to aspnet_isapi.dll by using Application mappings, so that our IHttpModule will be triggered when the specific file-type(s) is requested. You can get to these settings by displaying the...

HTTP handlers/Modules vs ISAPI dlls

by: Norton | last post by:

I had a person tell me the other day that a person would not be able to beat the efficiency of an ISAPI dll, especially by using handlers/modules. Of course, they could only say the reason was that it is written in C++, which should have nothing to do with it. But, in general, can you write a handler that will handle just as many connections as an ISAPI dll? Isn't a handler a managed code answer to the ISAPI dll solution? Thanks.

HTTP Modules
