Redirect from HTTP to HTTPS using Error Pages - ASP.Net

In this article we are going to handle the redirection of Http request to Https by using a error pages. when an error raised due to 403.4 code our error page is called , in that htm we are creating a redirect function in javascript which redirect to the secured site.To do this follow the simple steps

1 . Enable the RequireSSl in SSL settings for web application in IIS.
2. create a Intermediate HTM error page.


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title>Redirect to Https</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
        function HttpToHttps() {

            var https = window.location.hostname + window.location.pathname;
            https = "https://" + https;
            window.location = https;
        }
        HttpToHttps();
    </script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>


 3. Configure the IIS for error handling click the IIS server and select the Error Pages icon then Add a new status code by click the Add button Then mention the status code as 403.4 and give the error handle htm path in file path. Now click the Edit feature settings and select the custom error pages and select the file path for handle the error 403.4. Now the redirect will happen from http to https.

From this article you can learn how to do the redirection from http to https using error pages 

ASP.Net - Redirect Http to Https protocol

In this article we are going to see how to redirect a link from HTTP request to HTTPS, To do that we have to do the SSL by Server Certificate which can be issued certificate authority. For this article we are going to create a self signed certificate for testing purpose .Then we need the  Url-Rewrite extension for IIS to rewrite the Url.

Whenever a User clicks the normal url like the first mention in the below image it automatically redirects to the HTTPS for secure mode. which is shown in second url image. Let we take a Login page as Demo page.

What is HTTPS ?
  A secured transaction of encrypted messages between the browser client and Server through wire.To do this encryption it takes the server certificate, Which have a one private key as well as an public key.uses a same key for encryption and decryption.




URL REWRITE : Click Here to download the extension

After download the Url Rewrite install it , then now you can add the rule for rewrite the URL in root  web.config file in project as well as in  IIS.

Steps to create a Self Signed Certificate :

1. windows + R to start the Run
2. Type inetmgr
3. now select the default website and add the bindings of https which have the default port of 443.
4. Launch the Url with Https and check the login page is launch in https mode.




Now if you try this in normal http url mode result in error 

HTTP Error 403.4 - Forbidden

The page you are trying to access is secured with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).


url :  http://localhost/SSLSamples/. so how we can redirect it to https when even a user enter the url in http mode.To do that follow the simple steps mention below

1. uncheck the "RequireSSL" which is present under the ssl settings.
2. Create a Rule in Web.Config.

Here match tag specifies that any url comes action specifies the redirect to https with concate incoming HTTP_HOST and REQUEST_URI


<system.webServer>
    <httpRedirect enabled="false" destination="" httpResponseStatus="Found" />
    <rewrite>
      <rules>
        <rule name="Http to Https" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="(.*)" />
          <conditions>
            <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" />
          </conditions>
       <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" redirectType="Found" />
        </rule>
      </rules>
    </rewrite>
  </system.webServer>



Now if you launch the URL in HTTP it rewrites the URL to HTTPS.



From this article you can learn how make a redirect from http to https.

WPF - Dependency Object and Data Binding

In this article we are going to see the Dependency object and the Data binding in WPF.So first create a class name with Employee and derive it from Dependency object , then give five properties FirstName, LastName, Address, Domain, Version. Now give a static value and attach in stack panel resource and bind the data to the textblock present in the Stack Panel.


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows;

namespace WpfApplication1
{
    class Employee:DependencyObject
    {

        public static DependencyProperty FirstNameProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("FirstName", typeof(string), typeof(Employee));
        public string FirstName
        {
            set { SetValue(FirstNameProperty, value); }
            get { return (string)GetValue(FirstNameProperty); }
        }

        public static DependencyProperty LastNameProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("LastName", typeof(string), typeof(Employee));
        public string LastName
        {
            set { SetValue(LastNameProperty, value); }
            get { return (string)GetValue(LastNameProperty); }
        }

        public static DependencyProperty AddressProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Address", typeof(string), typeof(Employee));
        public string Address
        {
            set { SetValue(AddressProperty, value); }
            get { return (string)GetValue(AddressProperty); }
        }

        public static DependencyProperty DomainProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Domain", typeof(string), typeof(Employee));
        public string Domain
        {
            set { SetValue(DomainProperty, value); }
            get { return (string)GetValue(DomainProperty); }
        }

        public static DependencyProperty VersionProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Version", typeof(Int32), typeof(Employee));
        public int Version
        {
            set { SetValue(VersionProperty, value); }
            get { return (int)GetValue(VersionProperty); }
        }

    }
}



<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1"
        Title="Dependency Object" Height="184" Width="300" Background="CornflowerBlue">
    <Grid>
        <StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Name="Emp" Orientation="Vertical">
            <StackPanel.Resources>
                <local:Employee x:Key="empval" FirstName="Rajesh" LastName="G" Address="Porur" Domain="Dotnet" Version="4" />                                   
            </StackPanel.Resources>
            <TextBlock Foreground="Brown"  Text="{Binding FirstName}"/>
            <TextBlock Foreground="Brown" Text="{Binding LastName}"/>
            <TextBlock Foreground="Brown" Text="{Binding Address}"/>
            <TextBlock Foreground="Brown" Text="{Binding Domain}"/>
            <TextBlock Foreground="Brown" Text="{Binding Version}"/>
            <StackPanel.DataContext>
                <Binding Source="{StaticResource empval}" />
            </StackPanel.DataContext>
        </StackPanel>
    </Grid>
</Window>


Output :



From this article you can see the basics of Data binding and Dependency object.

Now create a Form which is invisble at runtime because we need a WndProc to get the Notification from the Native OS.

public partial class DriveForm : Form

        public DriveForm()

        }

        {

            this.MaximizeBox = false;

            this.ShowIcon = false;
            this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
            this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Load_Form);
            this.Activated += new EventHandler(this.Form_Activated);
        }



        /// <summary>

        protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
        {
            base.WndProc(ref m);

            if (mDetector != null)
            {
                mDetector.WndProc(ref m);
            }
        }

        private void Load_Form(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(5, 5);
        }
