HttpHandler and XML files
- by Frank
Hello,
I would like to intercept any request made to the server for XML files. I thought that it might be possible with an HttpHandler. It's coded and it works... on localhost only (?!?!).
So, why is it working on localhost only? Here is my web.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="*.xml" type="FooBar.XmlHandler, FooBar" />
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Here is my C# :
namespace FooBar
{
public class XmlHandler : IHttpHandler
{
public bool IsReusable
{
get { return false; }
}
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
HttpResponse Response = context.Response;
Response.Write(xmlString);
}
}
}
As you might have seen, I'm writing the xmlString directly in the response, it's only temporary because I'm still wondering how I could give the filename instead (that's the second question ;) )
What is supposed to be written in the response is only the xml filename that will be retrieved by a flash app.
Thanks
Edit :
When calling the page from another computer it looks like it's not getting to the HttpHandler. However, the mapping for IIS have been done correctly.
