Question

Endless loop when calling an HttpHandler

Answer 1

A:

<iframe class="welcome" src="http://localhost/barrows.riv?client=33ee472yaaM24a"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;

Does the source have the handler enabled? And if it does, does it link another page which has it enabled? Could be you're recursively linking your pages forever :(

My web.config has this: <httpHandlers> <add verb="*" path="*.riv" type="RivWorks.Web.DeliverVideo, RivWorks.Web, Culture=neutral" /> </httpHandlers>On the test page there is a request to a .RIV file type which invokes the handler. The handler returns some HTML. No other pages are involved. Maybe I am not understanding your question.

Answer 2

A:

Could you try firing up the debugger and evaluating the Request object inside the handler to try and see what's calling the handler? By this I mean try to evaluate either the Referrer or UserAgent and see who's making the request.

I wonder if the flash app you're instantiating might somehow be the issue here.

1st time into the handler:UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)"UrlReferrer = {http://localhost/testpage.aspx}AbsoluteUri = "http://localhost/testpage.aspx"The 2nd time through is the same. It looks good to me, it is just behaving as if it hit a refresh as soon as it rendered the player.

Found the problem and yes - it was in the flash app. If the browser type was FF there was an auto refresh happening (that was supposed to only fire once based on params being loaded in the flash vars). With the new services we are writing, this became an endless loop condition. <gaaah/>
