SSL and transfer

Hi All.

I am attempting to use SSL for the first time with ASP.NET I would like to be able to send my form details to another page using https:// connection. The page I am sending data to, uses Stored Procedures to add data to SQL Server. However attempting to use https:// in server.transfer (qualifying a full address) is returning an error. How can I use SSL with ASP.NET page transfers? If there is more than one technique, I would appreciate an example. I want o avaod using metod="get" for security reasons.

What I have tried so far:

1) In the Form tag I set action="https://mypage......." method="post"
2) Added a Server.Transfer ("https://mypage.....") in the button event procedure

In advance, many thanks

1) Don't work. in ASP.NET 1.1 you have to post to the same page (workaround exists though)
2) Server.Transfer is a server side technique (similar to a kind of "goto"). It doesn't issue a new HTTP request.

Why don't you display the https form and post back to the same page ? Note also that this way the user sees that the form uses https. Otherwise he won't see this until he post (this could likely make him reluctant to enter his info).

Hi, I'd like to know the performance related differences between Response.Redirect and Server.Transfer. I'd like to redirect the user to a different page. I can either do a Response.Redirect("URL") or a Server.Transfer("URL"). So I'd like to find out which is more efficient/better. Can anyone please tell me or give any pointers to links on the web? Thanks & Regards

Hello I'm trying to use a Server.Transfer in a try-catch (I cannot put it outside the Try-Catch as it is nested deep within a component that is called in a try-catch loop) The problem is that the Server.Transfer always throws the ThreadAbortException.

I've been reading up on Server.Transfer as well as doing some testing, and it appears to always raise the ThreadAbortException error. On one hand I've read a bunch of promotional-type material touting the benefits of Server.Transfer and none of them mention ThreadAbortException - but the MSDN documentation says Server.Transfer will always cause that exception - by design - and that the work-around is to not use Server.Transfer (and to use...

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.

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,...
