Getting action filters list from base Controller

Question

In Short: Does any know a way from the base controller to get a list of actionFilters being applied to the current executing action?

The Long: I am using ASP.NET MVC 1.0 framework. I have a "RequireSSL" actionFilter that I've recreated for checking out, however, if someone leaves the checkout and goes back to the store I would like to forward them back to non-secure version of the site.

It would be helpful in the base controller (I am using a custom base controller that inherits from the default Controller) to find out what actionFilters are being applied to the current action.

I could include this into the global.asax.cs I guess, any guidance here would be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can create an ActionFilter and implement OnActionExecuting. From this Attribute you could redirect them.

public sealed class MyRedirectAttributeAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {

        if (!filterContext.ActionDescriptor.IsDefined(typeof(RequireSSLAttribute), true))
        {
            filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Redirect("~/Controller/Action");
        }

        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
    }
}true

Well, here is what I wound up with..

 public sealed class HandleConnectionSecurityAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        HttpRequestBase req = filterContext.HttpContext.Request;
        HttpResponseBase res = filterContext.HttpContext.Response;

        if (!filterContext.ActionDescriptor.IsDefined(typeof(RequiresSSL), true) && HttpContext.Current.Request.IsSecureConnection)
        {
            var builder = new UriBuilder(req.Url)
            {
                Scheme = Uri.UriSchemeHttp,
                Port = 80
            };
            res.Redirect(builder.Uri.ToString());
        }

        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
    }
}

I then added an action attribute to the SuperController I created.

[HandleConnectionSecurity]
public class SuperController : Controller
