Creating Custom HTTP Modules
<![CDATA[
An HTTP Module is a .NET class that executes with each and every page request.
The HTTP Module doesn't allow you to request a page unless you include the proper query string with the request.
File: App_Code\QueryStringAuthenticationModule.cs
using System;
using System.Web;
namespace MyNamespace
{
public class QueryStringAuthenticationModule : IHttpModule
{
public void Init(HttpApplication app)
{
app.AuthorizeRequest += new EventHandler(AuthorizeRequest);
}
private void AuthorizeRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HttpApplication app = (HttpApplication)sender;
HttpContext context = app.Context;
string path = context.Request.AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath;
if (String.Compare(path, "~/login.aspx", true) == 0)
return;
bool authenticated = false;
if (context.Request.QueryString["password"] != null)
{
if (context.Request.QueryString["password"] == "secret")
authenticated = true;
}
if (!authenticated)
context.Response.Redirect("~/Login.aspx");
}
public void Dispose() { }
}
}
Register the HTTP Module in the web configuration file.
File: Web.Config
<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpModules>
<add name="QueryStringAuthenticationModule"
type="MyNamespace.QueryStringAuthenticationModule"/>
</httpModules>
</system.web>
</configuration>
