• The ability to 'peek' items with sliding expiration in the cache

  This is something that I wanted for a long time, really wish to see this in the upcoming release of ASP.NET. In a few words, I cache items in the ASP.NET cache with sliding expiration, in some cases I need to peek an item (i.e. get its value) without affecting the sliding expiration time. I really need this. I asked a question about this long time ago: http://forums.asp.net/p/1277310/2432439.aspx

• Re: How to drop/discard a Request in ASP.NET

  Thanks for your answer, actually I'm not trying to stop them from connecting to my app it's just that I don't want to send any response back to them, obviously you assumed I want to do this to block DOS attacks but this is not really the case, DOS attacks are best handled at the firewall level not even at the web server level, so, basically I'm trying to use this black list to stop spammers and others who abuse the site, and I don't intend to keep their IPs forever in that list

• Re: httpModule and default documents

  Is the problem with the base URL only or with all default documents in other directories?

• Re: How to drop/discard a Request in ASP.NET

  Hi, thanks a lot for your reply. Well, I assume you're talking about using Exit Sub in the BeginRequest handler, actually this will not stop the response from being sent to the client, it will only skip the rest of the code in the BeginRequest and prevent it from being executed. In my case I don't want to return any message to the visitor and I don't care if they get upset or not because it's simply a black list of IPs (= bad guys) that I want to ignore any requests coming from them

• How to drop/discard a Request in ASP.NET

  I'm trying to figure out how to drop/discard a request (in the BeginRequest event handler in an HttpModule), any idea how I can do this? Calling Response.End() sends the output to the user which is not what I want. Response.Close() closes the socket but as far I know (and correct me if I'm wrong) it also sends a packet to the client to notify them that the connection was closed. I'm trying to implement a black list of IPs in my app, I just want to drop/ignore/discard the request as if

• Re: Avoiding Spam Filters for Legitimate Mail

  I'm afraid it will impractical in my case to ask the users to whitelist my domain, what I'm trying to do is not get blocked in the first place, and anyway, I mentioned before, I do have a spam filter on my website (it's kind of basic though so there's a possibility some messages might get through) besides the mail is sent by members to other members so there shouldn't be a large number of messages in a short time (a main characteristic of spam), so I don't really expect my

• Re: Avoiding Spam Filters for Legitimate Mail

  Hi Mike, thanks again for your reply, well, I probably should've explained this better but actually it's not the whole email address that will be randomly generated, it's just the first part, if you look at my example in my original post you'll find 0fcc717f-43f9-4dbc-99ad-166bb22f1c2b@mysite.com , the point is that the mail still comes from my domain (the domain will not be randomly generated it's only the first part), so a DNS lookup should prove that the email exists ...

• Re: Avoiding Spam Filters for Legitimate Mail

  but how do the webmail providers know whether the address exists or not? they don't check the sender's address in every message, do they? I mean this is a lot of overhead so I don't think they do this .. the whole idea in using a randomly generated address is that if I use one email address to send the messages to members, something like newmessages@mysite.com for example, and any member gets a spam message from another member they could mark the message as spam, this will most probably

  [quote user="Mikesdotnetting"]Using a randomly generated FROM address is a pretty sure way to get most of the messages blocked by filters, so that no one gets any legitimate messages.[/quote] Hi Mike, thanks a lot for your informative answer, I wish you could give more details on how using a randomly generated address will get any messages sent from my domain blocked by the spam filters of free webmail providers ...
