Ok, so I want to force https/ssl on parts of my ASP.NET MVC site. Found lots of great sources including an ActionFilter here: http://blog.tylergarlick.com/index.php/2009/07/mvc-redirect-to-http-and-https/ Whenever I enable the ActionFilter however I end up in a redirect loop.

First, I created a Login page that added a key value pair to the session and verified that on that page the session holds that pair. Next, I attempt to go to another page that looks for that pair in the session and it is not there. I've put the timeout for the session to 15000 so it won't timeout.

What's the easiest way to clone current request's HttpContext instance? I'm developing an app in Asp.net MVC v1. I upgraded the regular PartialView capabilities to actually have sub-controllers that act very similar, but have their own context.

Hi, I have always been faking/mocking/stubbing HttpContext somehow in ASP.NET (much easier in ASP.NET MVC/MonoRail). But I can see that HttpContext itself can be constructed easily, literally with couple of lines of code. var tw = new StringWriter(); var workerReq = new SimpleWorkerRequest("/webapp", @"c:\here\there\wwwroot", "pag...
