can you still add request headers?

[Guest]

can you still alter request headers?
in some reading it seemed a security update made that no longer available.

There was a posting related to that at
http://bigjimindc.blogspot.com/2007/07/ms-kb928365-aspnet-requestheadersadd.html

dealing with MS KB928365, ASP.NET Request.Headers.Add() Hack No Longer Works

If you are referring to "this hack" (

-- have you tried it?

yes..referring to that method.

does your system meet the criteria mentioned in the article for causing it
to no longer work? IE have you installed MS KB928365

Peter - it was just verified on another machine - that patch indeed was
stopping request headers from being written using that reflection method.

So..anyone know if a .net way around this? (there are isapi ways of course,
in addition to the open source isapi .net project) and this is iis6, not iis7
- since iis7 has new managed methods.
Thanks!

Hi Adam,

As for the Request Header collection, I'm afraid ASP.NET runtime will no
longer support it and the origional approach is just a hack method. Now it
is fixed, I think you may look for some raw IIS based approahes. e.g. Try
intercept the request in ISAPI filter and try customizing it. I suggest
you also post this in IIS newsgroup to see whether some experts there can
provide some useful info.

Sincerely,
