iis-7.5

I've been working on enabling JSON compression from one of our MVC3 sites. From various articles I've read it seems as though I should be able to set the application/json; charset=utf-8 MIME type in the applications web.config file. But doing so does not enable compression. But when added to the applicationhost.config file, it works. Am I missing something here? My application web.config has the following added to it: <httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files"> <scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" /> <dynamicTypes> <add

I'm sort of new to developing Asp.net webapplication projects while running them on a local IIS. Till now I used the 'Use Visual Studio Development Server' option. I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. Edit: less complex sample code Following code sample: List<string> _list = new List<string>(); _list.Add("asd"); _list.Add("asd2"); _list.Add("asd3"); Now I want to debug / step through some line of codes with _list . While using 'Use Visual Studio Development Server' I can see the contents of _list in the quick watch. If I select 'Use Local IIS Web server' and debug through the same piece of

I would like to make a website always have www in the address, and enforce it via IIS rewrite. For example, test.com would become www.test.com. The typical example rewrite rule is: <rule name="Canonical Host Name" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="(.*)" /> <conditions> <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" negate="true" pattern="^www\.test\.com$" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.test.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" /> </rule> However this requires me to enter the full url of my website. It will not work for development and staging environments that have URLs like www.test.dev

My employer recently upgraded us from VS 2010 to VS 2012. It's been great, but there is one minor annoyance that I'm hoping someone here can help with. In VS 2010 when I switched branches it would ask me whether I wanted to update the IIS paths. Something along the lines of "the path for port:blah is pointing here. Would you like to change it?" VS 2012 doesn't bother asking. It just changes it. I can't seem to find a setting that discourages this behavior, so I'm hoping someone else out there has. Searching IIS on any site brings up way too many results to sift through, especially considering

I simply want an IIS 7.5 rewrite rule to redirect http://www.domain.com/url1 to http://www.domain.com/url2 (same domain). This can be achieved by: <rule name="Redirect url" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="^url1" /> <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.domain.com/url2" appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Permanent" /> </rule> However, this website listens to several domains, thus above becomes a global rule for all domains. How do I make this specific to domain.com? Have tried changing match url and adding conditions but cannot get it to work. Thanks. James Barry I got

Can anyone tell me where does following HTTP error message come from: Due to the presence of characters known to be used in Cross Site Scripting attacks, access is forbidden. This web site does not allow Urls which might include embedded HTML tags. We're using dynamically generated URLs and in this specific case the URL contains the characters '<' or '>'. We do URL encode the generated URL (so '%3C' appeary instead of '<') but it doesn't help. Our setup is ASP.NET MVC / IIS 7.5 / IE8. It's strange but it looks like the error appears only on some machines. So it could be that the IE internet
