How do i check whether the url is responsive or not - asp.net

I have Image Url in my Database and i want to check whether the URL is responsive or not in the browser .
please Help me .
For Example :
http://images.jactravel.co.uk/6008_1_1.jpg
or
http://images.jactravel.co.uk/6049_2_4.jpg
now how can i check automatically this url is responsive or not

I assume that by responsive you mean whether you can get a response when you call a specific URL or not.
To do that without actually downloading the content, you can use the HttpClient.GetAsync(string,HttpCompletionOption) with an HttpCompletionOption of ResponseHeadersRead. This will make GetAsync return immediately with a status code (eg 200, 404 or 500) without waiting to download the entire content, eg:
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
using(var response = await client.GetAsync("http://mysite/myimage.jpg",
HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead))
{
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
//The URL is good
}
}
}
To actually read the content, you need to access one of the Read methods of the response's Content property. For example, you can use the CopyToAsync to copy the content to a file stream, or use ReadAsByteArrayAsync to read the content as a byte array, eg:
var buffer=await response.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync();

POST method to upload file to Azure storage - what to return

I am creating an app where
user can upload the text file and then
find most used word and change that word in text and
show the changed text to the user.
if it is possible, I would like to
get the file’s text content before uploading when Post method is being called and save that content
so I add the “DownloadTextAsync()” method inside of the POST method, but it seems like I am calling this method to the wrong subject?
[HttpPost("UploadText")]
public async Task<IActionResult> Post(List<IFormFile> files)
{
string connectionString = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("mykeystringhere");
// Create a BlobServiceClient object which will be used to create a container client
BlobServiceClient blobServiceClient = new BlobServiceClient(connectionString);
//Create a unique name for the container
string containerName = "textdata" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
// Create the container and return a container client object
BlobContainerClient containerClient = await blobServiceClient.CreateBlobContainerAsync(containerName);
// Create a local file in the ./data/ directory for uploading and downloading
string localPath = "./data/";
string fileName = "textfiledata" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".txt";
string localFilePath = Path.Combine(localPath, fileName);
// Get a reference to a blob
BlobClient blobClient = containerClient.GetBlobClient(fileName);
// Open the file and upload its data
using FileStream uploadFileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(localFilePath);
await blobClient.UploadAsync(uploadFileStream, true);
uploadFileStream.Close();
string downloadFilePath = localFilePath.Replace(".txt", "DOWNLOAD.txt");
// Get the blob file as text
string contents = blobClient.DownloadTextAsync().Result;
//return the string
return contents;
//if (uploadSuccess)
// return View("UploadSuccess");
//else
// return View("UploadError");
}
The issues I am having are
I understood that ‘blobClient’ is the reference to the blob, where I can get the file’s data but this must be wrong?
Also it seems like I cannot use “CloudBlobContainer” nor the “CloudBlockBlob blob”. Is it because inside of the POST method, the blob has been just initialized and does not exist when these twos are executed?
Also when I test the POST method, the console throws “Refused to load the font '' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "default-src 'none'". Note that 'font-src' was not explicitly set, so 'default-src' is used as a fallback.” which I googled but have no idea what it means?
I have tried different ways but keep getting CANNOT POST/“ But could not really find the solid anwers. Could this be related to my POST method?

That's correct in a sense that you can use blobClient to perform operations on blob like upload/download etc. I am not sure why you say but this must be wrong.
Also it seems like I cannot use “CloudBlobContainer” nor the
“CloudBlockBlob blob”. Is it because inside of the POST method, the
blob has been just initialized and does not exist when these twos are
executed?
No, this is happening because you're using a newer version of SDK (version 12.x.x) and CloudBlobContainer and CloudBlockBlob are available in the older version of the SDK.
Also when I test the POST method, the console throws “Refused to load
the font '' because it violates the following Content Security Policy
directive: "default-src 'none'". Note that 'font-src' was not
explicitly set, so 'default-src' is used as a fallback.” which I
googled but have no idea what it means? I have tried different ways
but keep getting CANNOT POST/“ But could not really find the solid
anwers. Could this be related to my POST method?
Not sure why this is happening. You may want to ask a separate question for this and when you do, please include the HTML portion of your code as well.

how to read additional parameters in alfresco 5.1.1- aikau faceted search

Custom Search UI will be populated when user selects Complex asset in the Advance search screen drop down(apart from Folders,Contents) where 12 fields will be displayed .So when user clicks search button ,need to read those values and redirect to the alfresco repo files(org/alfresco/slingshot/search/search.get.js).We have already customized these files(search.get.js,search.lib.js) existed in the repository to suit out logic and working fine in 4.2.2;As we are migrating to 511,so we need to change this logic in customized faceted-search.get.js to read these values.How to write this logic in customized facted-search.get.js?
It's not actually possible to read those URL hash attributes in the faceted-search.get.js file because the JavaScript controller of the WebScript does not have access to that part of the URL (it only has information about the URL and the request parameters, not the hash parameters).
The hash parameters are actually handled on the client-side by the AlfSearchList widget.
Maybe you could explain what you're trying to achieve so that I can suggest an alternative - i.e. the end goal for the user, not the specifics of the coding you're trying to achieve.
We will be reading the querystring values something like below in the .get.js file.
function getNodeRef(){
var queryString = page.url.getQueryString();
var nodeRef = "NOT FOUND";
var stringArray = queryString.split("&");
for (var t = 0; t < stringArray.length; t++) {
if (stringArray[t].indexOf('nodeRef=') > -1) {
nodeRef = stringArray[t].split('=')[1];
break;
}
}
if (nodeRef !== "NOT FOUND") {
nodeRef = nodeRef.replace("://", "/");
return nodeRef;
}
else {
throw new Error("Node Reference is not found.");
}
}
It may be help you and we will wait for Dave Drapper suggestion also.

how to Preview the video file that user wants to upload on the website (PHP, FiileAPI JS)

I mean, when a user chooses the video file from their system, have the web-page already show them the files they want to upload.
I'm already using image file to preview using FileAPI JS. The same I want to do with FileAPI JS for video file.
(So, It must be work within my client side)
Thanks & answers are appreciated :)
You can either use FileReader or createObjectURL. They'll both get the job done, but FileReader has slightly broader support in browsers.
createObjectURL will run synchronously and return a Blob URL, a short string referencing the file in memory. and you can free it up immediately after you're done using it.
FileReader will run asynchronously, requiring a callback, providing a Data URI, a much longer string representing the whole file. This can be very big and will be freed from memory in Javascript garbage collection.
Here's an example that first tries createObjectURL and falls back to FileReader. (Please provide your own error checking, etc.)
var video = document.getElementById('video'),
input = document.getElementById('input');
input.addEventListener('change', function (evt) {
var reader = new window.FileReader(),
file = evt.target.files[0],
url;
reader = window.URL || window.webKitURL;
if (reader && reader.createObjectURL) {
url = reader.createObjectURL(file);
video.src = url;
reader.revokeObjectURL(url); //free up memory
return;
}
if (!window.FileReader) {
console.log('Sorry, not so much');
return;
}
reader = new window.FileReader();
reader.onload = function(evt) {
video.src = evt.target.result;
};
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
}, false);
Working example here: http://jsbin.com/isodes/1/edit
Mozilla has a more detailed article with instructions on how to upload once you've got your file.
IE10 supports both, but IE9 supports neither, so you'll have to fall back to a regular form upload without a preview.

ASINetworkQueue without setting DownloadDestinationPath

I want to fetch multiple images from the server for which I wish to use the ASINetworkQueue. I was wondering if setting the downloadDestinationPath using setDownloadDestinationPath:path for ASIHTTPRequest object is necessary. Is there a way to use ASINetworkQueue without setting the DownloadDestinationPath? If so, how to go about it? Also what happens to the images once they are downloaded in the Documents directory. I do not wish to pile up all the images as my project involves extensive use of images.
I used the tag property of the ASIHTTPRequest object to set different tags for each of my request before adding them to the ASINetworkQueue object.
ASIHTTPRequest *request;
request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[imageURLDictionary objectForKey:#"test1"]]];
request.tag=1;
[networkQueue addOperation:request];
request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[imageURLDictionary objectForKey:#"test2"]]];
request.tag=2;
[networkQueue addOperation:request];
request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[imageURLDictionary objectForKey:#"test3"]]];
request.tag=3;
[networkQueue addOperation:request];
[networkQueue go];
And on success and failure handled them in the delegate method.
- (void)imageFetchComplete:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request
{
if (request.tag==1) {
_image1.image=[UIImage imageWithData:request.responseData];
}
if (request.tag==2) {
_image2.image=[UIImage imageWithData:request.responseData];
}
if (request.tag==3) {
_image3.image=[UIImage imageWithData:request.responseData];
}
}

An image from byte to optimized web page presentation

I get the data of the stored image on database as byte[] array;
then I convert it to System.Drawing.Image like the code shown below;
public System.Drawing.Image CreateImage(byte[] bytes)
{
System.IO.MemoryStream memoryStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream(bytes);
System.Drawing.Image image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(memoryStream);
return image;
}
(*) On the other hand I am planning to show a list of images on asp.net pages as the client scrolls downs the page. The more user gets down and down on the page he/she does see the more photos. So it means fast page loads and rich user experience. (you may see what I mean on www.mashable.com, just take care the new loads of the photos as you scroll down.)
Moreover, the returned imgae object from the method above, how can i show it in a loop dynamically using the (*) conditions above.

Well, I think the main bottleneck is actually hitting the database each time you need an image. (Especially considering many users accessing the site.)
I would go with the following solution:
Database will store images with the original quality;
.ashx handler will cache images on the file system in various needed resolutions (like 32x32 pixels for icons, 48x48 for thumbnails, etc.) returning them on request and accessing database only once; (in this example is shown how to return an image via ashx handler)
The actual pages will point to .ashx page to get an image. (like <img scr="GetImage.ashx?ID=324453&Size=48" />)
UPDATE:
So the actual workflow in the handler will be like:
public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context)
{
// Create path of cached file based on the context passed
int size = Int32.Parse(context.Request["Size"]);
// For ID Guids are possibly better
// but it can be anything, even parameter you need to pass
// to the web service in order to get those bytes
int id = Int32.Parse(context.Request["Id"]);
string imagePath = String.Format(#"images/cache/{0}/{1}.png", size, id);
// Check whether cache image exists and created less than an hour ago
// (create it if necessary)
if (!File.Exists(imagePath)
|| File.GetLastWriteTime(imagePath) < DateTime.Now.AddHours(-1))
{
// Get the file from the web service here
byte[] imageBytes = ...
// Save as a file
using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream(imageBytes))
using (var outputStream = File.OpenWrite(imagePath))
Image.FromStream(memoryStream).Save(outputStream);
}
context.Response.ContentType = "image/png";
context.Response.WriteFile(imagePath);
}
