HttpHandler question :: Retrieve the Request Page URL?

[David Bowey]

Hi There!

I'm writing a custom HttpHandler to create watermarks on my PNG images of my
website. So typically, a PNG image is linked in an ASPX page as follows...

<img src="images/test.png" alt="testing" />

So I created an HttpHanlder to handle PNG images, have mapped the PNG
extension in the IIS and also added the HttpModule section in the web.config
file.

In my HttpHandler's ProcessRequest event, I tried to retireve the Page URL
by...

context.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri

But it is not returning the Page's URL but returning the URL of the PNG
image.

How can I retrieve the URL of the PAGE that links the PNG image?

Thank you all in advance!!!
Dave

Hi David,

Try HttpRequest.Path. This will give the virtual path of the current request..

Hi Vishnu,

Thanks for the help! But it didn't work out. I tried with the following
code...

context.Request.Path

It is still giving me the path of the PNG image and not the ASPX file path.

Any ideas?

Thanks again!
Dave

added the HttpModule section in the web.config
typo??? You should be mapping the HttpHandler section in the web.config
since you wrote a handler and not a module.

Hello David,

You can not make this happen using the builtin objects, because as far as
the web server is concerned this is two completely separate requests, completely
independent of each other.

However, you could try passing the page name along as a parameter on the
query string. If you do that, make sure you test it for null though, because
if an image is direct-linked without the page name, you'll throw an exception
if you try and do anything with it.

Hi Dave,

I haven't tried, but the referrer should be what you're looking for :
Context.Request.UrlReferrer.PathAndQuery, for instance.

HTH,
