I have searched hard for 2 days on this and keep hitting a wall. I
have a custom IHttpHandler setup to do Url mappings to prop up some old
Urls for our site. I have also created a wildcard mapping in IIS6
using the ASP.NET 2.0 ISAPI DLL.
Here is what I am attempting and I cannot for the life of me figure
this out.
I have several situations:
1) Remap Urls configured in a .Xml file using my IHttpHandler and build
them using custom infrastructure.
2) Allow Urls that do not require a remapping to "pass thru" and
resolve as normal.
3) Still server normal static content. (asp.net 2.0 isapi will allow
this)
I know that the asp.net 2.0 ISAPI DLL behaves properly when using it as
a wildcard mapping in that it will not prevent static content from
being served, etc. This I have verified.
In my web.config, if I setup a handler for verb="*" and type="*" for my
IHttpHandler in addition to using the wildcard mapping, this pushes all
requests thru to me. However, what I am missing is how to
programatically or otherwise, temporarily disable my custom
IHttpHandler so I can allow a Url to pass thru that does not require
remapping. Does this make sense?
The reason I am using a wildcard mappings is because I want to remap
Urls that have paths that do not physically exist within the website.
I am having a hard time getting both sides of this to work together.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. 7 2546

This is based upon the static .config file mappings. So there's no public
API that I have ever found to change this at runtime. One approach that might
help is to call HttpContext.Rew ritePath prior to the HttpApplication 's MapHandler
execution step (which comes inbetween ResolveRequestC ache and AcquireRequestS tate).
There are problems with RewritePath, but it might work for you.
The other approach is to simply have your handler act as a pass-thru for
another IHttpHandler. So in your ProcessRequest you dynamically load someother
handler and call into its ProcessRequest.

You might be thinking just a bit too deep here by trying to intercept each
request with a handler when a few lines in the onBeginRequest method of an
ihttpmodule would probably suffice.
This is a likely route for evaluating the request path: For all requests
intercept the path in onBeginRequest and make sure its not a path that needs
no remapping - simply do nothing with them, and for those that need
remapping issue a response.redire ct in the module (not a transfer). For
pages that dont exist, well they are also paths you should do nothing with
but you should implement a global error handler, let the page not found
error happen for any pages that do not exist and do not need remapping and
redirect in the error handler to the path you choose for any page that does
not exist. That should cope for each scenario you have described with one
caveat, files that do not exist should technically return a 404, you have to
watch for erros passed for things like not found images when globally
handling this and decide how you'll cope with that.

Thanks for the tips. What I'm actually doing is building all pages
dynamically using an in-house CMS system, so I have one generic page
that pieces together content and renders a final output page. The
reason I choose a custom handler is because from what I've read, this
is the way to go for this. Here are some code snips of what I am
currently doing and attempting.
When I determine the request *does not* need remapping, I do this
inside an if..
IHttpAsyncHandl er theHandler = new DefaultHttpHand ler();
theHandler.Begi nProcessRequest (context, null, null);
return;
and finally, when I am redirecting/rendering a dynamic page, I do
this...
string pageLoaderVirtu alPath =
ConfigurationMa nager.AppSettin gs["pageLoaderVirt ualPath"];
string pageLoaderPhysi calPath =
context.Server. MapPath(pageLoa derVirtualPath) ;
// get an instance to the generic page loader aspx page
IHttpHandler handler =
PageParser.GetC ompiledPageInst ance(pageLoader VirtualPath,
pageLoaderPhysi calPath, context);
// process the redirected request
handler.Process Request(context );
context.Applica tionInstance.Co mpleteRequest() ;
of course there is other stuff I'm doing for making my decisions. The
piece I put that passes the request to an instance of
DefaultHttpHand ler seems to be working most of the time. I am trying
this based on Brock's previous post.
I am new to some of these ways of building pages and using
IHttpHandlers in general, so it's trial and error right now.
thanks for the tips and any advice.
The stuff I posted in my last post appears to be working and doing what
I want it to do, except this code:
IHttpAsyncHandl er theHandler = new DefaultHttpHand ler();
theHandler.Begi nProcessRequest (context, null, null);
return;
Does not allow aspx pages to be processed for Url's that do no require
remapping, ie: the pass-thru Url's. When running in the debugger for a
Url point to a .aspx that exists on disc and is not configured to be
remapped, my IHttpHandler gets called over and over and over after
hitting the code lines I pasted in above. If the Url is not for an
aspx, then it processes fine. When not running in the debugger, the
browser just says the page cannot be displayed.
Any ideas? I can paste more code snippets if needed.
I now understand what is happening. Since I have registered an
IHttpHandler in web.config such as:
<add verb="*" path="*" type="MyType"/>
and I am passing control back to DefaultHttpHand ler for IIS to process
when the Url does not require remapping, IIS immediately sends it back
to ASP.NET and my handler catches the request again and the cycle
continues.
Can I somehow solve this using an IHttpModule instead but still allow
the equivalent of the following code to work?
IHttpHandler handler =
PageParser.GetC ompiledPageInst ance(pageLoader VirtualPath,
pageLoaderPhysi calPath, context);
handler.Process Request(context );
context.Applica tionInstance.Co mpleteRequest() ;
John, I took your advice and I now have this working like a champ. I
disable my IHttpHandler and moved my code, slightly modified, into an
IHttpModule. Now all remapping occurs and stuff that should not be
remapped falls around an If statement and is handled normally. THanks.
Glad to have helped.

I have a form where users can enter a string with asterisks to perform a
wildcard search. Currently, the string entered by the user looks like this:
*somestring*
The purpose is to match any database field containing "somestring". Is
there a way to avoid the need for the asterisks? This would make it easier
for the users and also I wouldn't have to explain that asterisks are
required when performing a wildcard search.

I'm experiencing some extreme weirdness over the last week with IIS related
to it's Mappings and how .NET is behaving. I can't explain the behavior as
it seems very random.
Our app has about 50 file extensions that we map in IIS and handle in our
HTTPHandler to catch the reference and then lookup the correct content from
a database. In addition, we do some magic in a HTTPModule to rewrite paths

Its my understanding that in asp.net 2.0 you can write an httpmodule that
will acts as a wildcard handler and pass requests on to the proper engine,
for instance, asp or perl for example, In the past I believe if it wasn't an
aspx file, things didnt work right. Can anyone provide input if this really
is the case now?

On IIS6 I have configured a wildcard application mapping, but now when I
just browse to a URL or an IP without specifying a document, it does not add
the "default document" anymore. Is it a bug in IIS 6.0 ?
Does anyone know a workaround? Or does anyone have code to replace the
"default document settings" in an isapifilter? I don't have any clue how to
do that.
Any help would be very much appreciated

Hi,
I have virtual MyFolder/* and MyFolder/MySubFolder/* mapped to an
httphandler in the web.config file and all works perfectly on the asp.net
development server.
However on the IIS6/Win2003 I'm getting 404 error, not even the asp.net one,
so I guess the IIS is blocking the request.
I would uncheck to verify that file exists if it would be for special
extension, but this is wildcarded so I don't know what to do... any
solution?
