    HTTP Request Intercept

    Hi,

    I am working on a site for a client that has a members area and I need a way to stop specific files from been downloaded by any one.

    I have been trying to use a controller to hijack http requesteds but it dose not seem to be working.

    Is there a way using IHttpHandler to intercept http reqest on download. I started to look at this but I am using the latest version of version 8 and it dose not seem to be hitting my custome media control. Even though I have registed the control using:

    composition.Register

    I just need to intercept the http request and check the file if it restricted or not. I know I can check using the media service to get the file propertys so that not a problem, the Issue I am having is I can't intercept any HTTP requests.

    I have tried that but it not working, do I need to register it or should it just work out of the box??

    I can't find any thing in the documentation on how to register a IHttpHandler

    IIRC you register it in web.config

    You'll need to look over Microsoft documentation:

    I had to change the web.config that is in the media folder, not the websites web.config

    My media folder web.config is like below

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <configuration>
      <system.webServer>
        <handlers>
          <clear />
          <add name="DOCX" path="*.docx" verb="*" type="MyApp.ProtectedMediaHttpHandler" />
          <add name="XLSX" path="*.xlsx" verb="*" type="MyApp.ProtectedMediaHttpHandler" />
          <add name="DOC" path="*.doc" verb="*" type="MyApp.ProtectedMediaHttpHandler" />
          <add name="XLS" path="*.xls" verb="*" type="MyApp.ProtectedMediaHttpHandler" />
          <add name="PDF" path="*.pdf" verb="*" type="MyApp.ProtectedMediaHttpHandler" />
          <add name="ZIP" path="*.zip" verb="*" type="MyApp.ProtectedMediaHttpHandler" />
          <add name="EPS" path="*.eps" verb="*" type="MyApp.ProtectedMediaHttpHandler" />
.....
        </handlers>
      </system.webServer>
    </configuration>
