Under certain conditions, I simply wish to drop / not send a response to some POSTs/GETS and allow the sender/requestor to simply timeout waiting for a response. In short, I wish to act as the system wasn't there for that Request. ANyone know how to do this?
I would suggest that you create an HTTP module that would check for these special cases and display an error or something. Using timeout as an exception indicator is not necessarily a good practice. If a module is too much work, you could create a
RequestValidator class (or something like that) with a static method to check the
HttpContext to see if the request is valid or an error should be displayed.
Well, that was very pretentious of you. I can bypass the normall processing stream but I would like my victums, violaters, to be undesirably affected. But, it appears that the only way is to short-circuit the pathway is to return an error, and let it go at
that. Thks anyway, G.,
Well, if you're just referring to someone hacking away at your system trying to bypass normal processing, then a timeout isn't necessarily a bad thing. It'd be nice to have the system "degrade gracefully," but that depends on how important that truly is - in
most cases, for a user that's trying to get around the system, this is a very low priority. I thought that you were talking about timing out for certain circumstances that may happen through normal use of the system. That would be an odd practice IMHO. I don't
mean to be pretentious. Sorry. I'm always that straight-forward. Something I've always tried to get over, but it never works ;-)
