http pipline, ihttpmodule and filtering responses

[Steven Livingstone]

Hello all.
I have a class that modifies the response sent to a user, but it works as
far as the ReleaseRequestState event and not in the UpdateRequestCache
event. So two questions :

1. Background on exactly what and why this is the case would be useful. I
mean something more than "This event signals that code processing is
complete and the file is ready to be added to the ASP.NET cache." - i'd like
to know exactly what is happening under the covers in these events.
Pointers/explanations appreciated.

2. If i wanted to modify something in the content in the
PreSendRequestContent event before the buffer is flushed to the user, is
this possible? Say i wanted to replace all instances of the string "Java"
with "dotNet" in the output content for example.

thanks for any advice,
steven

Hi Steven,

Not knoe the details in your class, but the main difference between
ReleaseRequestState and UpdateRequestCache are:

ReleaseRequestState occurs after ASP.NET finishes executing all request
handlers. This event causes state modules to save the current state data;
UpdateRequestCache occurs when ASP.NET finishes executing a handler in
order to let caching modules store responses that will be used to serve
subsequent requests from the cache.

You may check if this cause your class didn't work in UpdateRequestCache

And you may refer to following article form more information on this:
