I have a vb.net application running as intranet on Win Server 2003. So should I use HTTPS instead of HTTP?
What is the difference or why should I if the answer is HTTPS? Is there any code in VB to redirect from HTTP to HTTPS?
I am using the following code to try and redirect to https, it is not working.
If Not Request.IsLocal AndAlso Not Request.IsSecureConnection Then
Dim redirectUrl As String = Request.Url.ToString().Replace("http:", "https:")
Response.Redirect(redirectUrl)
End If
What I can check, using fiddler now to look at traffic. SSL is set in IIS 6, cert is correctly installed on site.
I would like an automatic way of updating desktop application using Http over the company intranet. Also it much have to be used by VB6 applications as well.

I have a https site where i have to display images from a http source. To enable this i want to make a proxy, so i can display the image as:
src="https://mydomain/showimage.aspx?url=http://externalserver/image.jpg"
I can do this in Java, somthing like this:
Code:
InputStream in = new WebInputStream( url );
BrowserOutStream out = new BrowserOutStream();
while(in.read()){ out.write() };
in.close();
out.close();
Simple enough (although the code is simplified here). But i cant seem to find a proper example of the equivalent in vb .net. I am assuming i have to use System.Net.WebClient.OpenRead, but not sure where to go from there.
I have a direcory for the members area.
All the files within that directory should be treated by https.
All other files outside the specific dir should be treated by http.
How can i automate the redirecting from http and https and vice versa?
So the exact site I'm trying to login to is GMail. I can send the POST data to login fine, but after that GMail performs an authentication (the redirect URL contains 'SetSID?'). Now with my HTTPWebRequest I don't see a way to enable support of HTTPs requests. Is there a way to get around this and successfully login?

I've got an app on server 1 that's attempting to copy files from server 2. Server 1 is 'quarantined' from the rest of the local network for security reasons, but the network guy has made a couple of server 1 directories available to server 1 via IP. Thus, in my VB.NET app on server 1 I am trying to do this:
Code:dim filearr as string()filearr = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("\10.0.0.21packinglists", "*.pdf")
However, I want my app to run unattended and 10.0.0.21 requires a login and password. Can I configure a connection string or something to provide hands-off authentication?
I'm planning to use some session variables on an intranet ASP/VB.NET page, and want to make sure that I'm not missing out on anything important I should know, or that I have my information mixed up. So here's what I (think) I know about session variables.They:are stored on the server, so if I have a lot of users then they'll each be using some more memory which could lead to a slowdown.are inaccessible by the user unless I expose access. hang around/persist across user requests (i.e. each time the user makes a request from the page the data will still be there - until it times out). This also means that I need to make sure that the variable doens't have "left over" data in it.
Is there anything that I've got totally wrong, or anything I'm missing? I'd prefer not to get bitten by a bug down the road because I think I understand what's going on.

View 4 RepliesMy company uses ActiveDirectory, and naturally the IT department wants to maintain control over it and not give control to other users. I'm developing an ASP.NET app (for internal use only) using an SQL Server 2008 database.My question is, how can I BEST use the .NET namespaces and SQL Server to manage access to the app within the organization at the application (or possibly DB) level? I would like the user to be authorized based on their network username as provided by ActiveDirectory.On a side note, I would also like to access their AD contact information.
From my understanding I can use the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider class or Domain Services in the System.DirectoryServices namespace. There's also LDAP which apparently is another possibility. I'm having a hard time making sense of it all, and much less which is the best option and how to implement it. Can anyone provide me with some direction and possibly some simple sample code?
I'm trying to write a program that will get certain text from an intranet site, but there is a form for user name and password that I have to enter first. I found HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse and can use those, but how do I programatically log into the site so I can get the data I want?

The screenshot is generated, compressed and then stored as a BLOB in the database. When I developed this facility I investigated the best way of compressing the image (to the lowest byte size), however the images still seem to be too big as the database table is growing larger than I hoped. I am using the TIFF format, but I am now thinking that this may not be the best as it is used by photographers (who I assume require good quality photographs). Here is the code to compress the image (before it is stored as a BLOB):

I am trying to create an application that will login our company's intranet portal via a webpage. The webpage has a single frame in it that loads a secure(https) login form. After logging in, the application will need to read and send xml to and from the portal. I have been digging around and have seen a few different ways of submitting the login information from the program to the site, however, I have not gotten any of them to work. From what I can tell it is difficult to change the values of input boxes that are inside a frame. Am I accurate on this? There will be a large amount of data transfer between the app and the portal so I will need something lightweight but I have enough room that I would rather not reinvent the http/web-browser wheel if at all possible. The reason I say that is because I have read that some objects that handle web pages are very resource hungry. I have no preference on the .net frameworks as this is the area of VB thats kinda confusing. What I am looking for is either a point or violent shove in the right direction.

View 1 RepliesI'm creating an API for a particular website. This API will be in the form of a referable DLL. I've tried the normal HttpListner but it errors when getting any data that is through https (basically anything specific about the currently logged in user). I also can't log in using it. My next attempt involved a hidden webbrowser but that is just as hacked up as it sounds (and very glitchy seeing as the WebBrowser likes to interrupt processes that are currently running with its events). I need a system that works and is fast and efficient (I know, I know, kind of a oxymoron). Does anybody know how to do this?I'm using VB.net so any .net code examples are acceptable.
