HTTP header 411 error in asp.net - asp.net

I have .aspx file with some simple logic. This file can be accessed only using HTTP Post method. My problem is that in some registration form (regnow) they ask me to supply the url (my .aspx url) and the access method (Post or Get). I select the Post and then they try to access the url and get HTTP 411 error (header missing content-length).
Is there a way to prevent the web application from sending back this error? maybe some kind of configuration in the web.config file?
Thank you very much,
Adi Barda

ResponseRedirect fails when source url path contains http://

As part of an imageprocessing module I accept urls in the following format in order to process and cache externally hosted images.
http://localhost:56639/remote.axd/http://ipcache.blob.core.windows.net/source/IMG_0671.JPG?width=400&filter=comic
After processing the file, if I use Response.Redirect(url, false) to redirect the server to a valid external cache url, the server returns a 404 error response citing the StaticFileHandler as the source of the error.
If the file comes from a local source something like.
http://localhost:56639/IMG_0671.JPG?width=400&filter=comic
The server redirects to the external url without issue. Can someone explain why and provide a solution?
Note: remote.axd does nothing other than allow the local server to intercept the external url. I use the .axd extension as it isn't mapped to route by default in MVC.
I've noticed that when looking at the request path the http:// segment is replaced with http:/. I don't know whether that causes an issue.
So the reference to StaticFileHandler is the clue.
Following the actions of my HttpModule the handler is attempting to process the request. When a locally cached file is used this finds the file and all is ok. Since I am redirecting to a remote url and have a remote source the handler is finding nothing and throwing a 404 exception.
Further processing of the request has to be halted following a rewrite using the following method.
HttpApplication.CompleteRequest

Server.Transfer from ASP.NET to ASP

No duplicate of “Server.Transfer from ASP to ASP.Net” ;-)
On an IIS web server (running Classic ASP), I have a local URL that a user is remotely redirected to. Presumably, this call is made with data in the query string or transmitted through POST data. When this request is made, I need to remove this data (especially the query string) server-side, so none will be visible to the client.
For example, the user is led to http://example.com/dir/?data=payload. This is what requested, and this is what the user’s browser will display. Now I need the request resource to strip QueryString and Form data, so that the user ends up in e.g. http://example.com/dir/.
On MSDN, they have HttpServerUtility.Transfer, which adds a boolean to the classic Server.Transfer method allowing to preserve or clear data. However, when I try this in an aspx file transfering to an asp file, I get a 0x80004005 HTTP exception (“No http handler was found for request type 'GET'”).
Is it possible at all to “redirect” from an ASP.NET file to a Classic one?
Is there another, better way to remove request data server-side?
My options would be:
Use a redirect on the page without querystrings: Response.Redirect() This will clear post data as well.
Do a HTTP Request to scrape the HTML of the other page, and view it in your current page.
I would probably do option #1

OAUTH response.sendRedirect(url) giving IllegalState exception

I have an application where I am doing OAUTH 1.0 and I am getting redirected to the redirect URL that I send in the OUTH call. Now, I am also geting "code" parameter in the callback URL which is normal OAUTH behaviour which I can understand. Now, I want to have this callback URL page as an dummy page so that I can process the "code" that I get and then I can redirect the response to the actual page I want. I would like to do it this way as I would not like to expose the "code" credentials to the endusers as it can be security issue. Now - when I am doing this, after processing the "code", I am redirecting the same reponse to the actual page from dummy page, however, it is giving IllegalState Exception while redirecting. Has anyone face this senario especially in OAUTH ?
exception
java.lang.IllegalStateException
at org.apache.catalina.connector.ResponseFacade.sendRedirect(ResponseFacade.java:435)
The issue here was I had lots of JSP code below response.sendRedirect(url) which made it to throw this error as after redirection the response should be considered to be committed and should not be written to.
So I added a dummy page such that there is no JSP code after response redirection

Handling HTTP 404 bad request error in asp.net

I am currently building a website and I want to add the HTTP 404 not found Error page. I designed the bad request page and its link is this, for example:
www.mysite.com/badr.cshtml
The problem is, I want to show the contents of this page on every invalid request without redirecting to that link. For example, if I type www.mysite.com/noexistingpage, the contents of badr.cshtml should load without redirecting to it.
And for your information, I am using Webmatrix2.
you do this via the web.config and the custom errors section.

Response Redirect URL returns HTTP Error 400 - Bad Request

I'm a noob when it comes to ASP.NET. I know few basic commands such as Response.Redirect("URL") to redirect my application web page to a different location.
However i receive HTTP Error 400 - Bad Request, whenever i try to use the code shown below
Response.Redirect(Server.UrlEncode(this.Downloadlink));
where this.Downloadlink is a user defined property which returns something like this
http://mdn.vatsag.net/fp;files/DOWNLOAD/VTSetup.exe
If i post this link in the browser, the .exe file pops up (means the link is good)
However this error comes when i use the ASP.NET code.
Any form of response on this issue/reason is deeply appreciated.
See here: http://www.kirit.com/Response.Redirect%20and%20encoded%20URIs
In short: if you quickly want to fix the issue, remove the part of your code that is UrlEncoding the URL!
