httpcontext

Looking for a little advice (or maybe even a direct answer). I have an MVC3 website. I also have a set of WCF services running (for now everything is on the same box). What I'm trying to do is authenticate the client (that part is working fine), then pass that authenticated user on to various WCF calls. At the moment I've hooked up the Application_AuthenticateRequest() method in Global.Asax , which boils down to creating a new GenericIdentity & GenericPrincipal , then assigning that principal to HttpContext.Current.User : ... GenericIdentity identity = new GenericIdentity(userName);

One of my services uses server variable provided by IIS through such code var value = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["MY_CUSTOM_VAR"]; What I've tried is to mock those object and insert my own variable/collection and check few cases(e.g. variable is missing, value is null ...) I'm able to create instances of HttpContext, HttpRequest, HttpResponse and assign them properly however each of them is just a plain class without interface or virtual properties and initialization of ServerVariables happens somewhere under the hood. HttpContext mocking: var httpRequest = new

I am currently working on a c# web API. For a specific call I need to send 2 images using an ajax call to the API, so that the API can save them as varbinary(max) in the database. How do you extract an Image or byte[] from a HttpContent object? How do I do this twice? Once for each image. - var authToken = $("#AuthToken").val(); var formData = new FormData($('form')[0]); debugger; $.ajax({ url: "/api/obj/Create/", headers: { "Authorization-Token": authToken }, type: 'POST', xhr: function () { var myXhr = $.ajaxSettings.xhr(); return myXhr; }, data: formData, cache: false, contentType: false,

I have an Singleton object in application that has following property: private AllocationActionsCollection AllocationActions { get { return HttpContext.Current.Session["AllocationOptions.AllocationActions"] as AllocationActionsCollection; } set { HttpContext.Current.Session["AllocationOptions.AllocationActions"] = value; } } I'm dealing with one error ( HttpContext.Current.Session["AllocationOptions.AllocationActions"] is null even though it is supposed to me always set to valid instance...). I just read in MSDN that HttpContext instance member are not guaranteed to be thread safe! I wonder if

I'm using a "Post" async method of webApi rest service: public async Task<object> Post([FromBody]string data) { object response = ExecuteServerLogics(data); return response; } This above code worked good but in some of the client's calls, we experienced performance issues. After reading some articles here, i've noticed that our webApi rest service, is not really working asynchronously with its incoming web requests, because we forgot to use async/await pattern : public async Task<object> Post([FromBody]string data) { object response = await Task<object>.Run( () => { return ExecuteServerLogics

I am streaming data from server to client for download using filestream.write . In that case what is happening is that I am able to download the file but it does not appear as download in my browser. Neither the pop-up for "Save As" appears not "Download Bar" appears in Downloads section. From looking around, I guess I need to include "something" in the response header to tell the browser that there is an attachment with this response. Also I want to set the cookie. To accomplish this, this is what I am doing: [HttpContext.Current.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment
