Installing Google Chrome for All Users

•December 26, 2018 • Leave a Comment

I find myself repeatedly looking this up so here’s my own link:

Google Chrome for All Users (Windows x64)

Or if you prefer the offline installer, look for “Chrome MSI for Windows 64‑bit” on the Enterprise page.

Visual Studio 2017 15.5.2: Addition of Flurl to ASP.NET project causes NuGet to incorrectly reference System.Net.Http

•December 19, 2017 • 1 Comment

This incident occurred whilst creating a new ASP.NET 4.7.1 project in Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 (Version 15.5.2):

  1. Created a new ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework Standard 4.7.1) and enabled Web API;
  2. Added Flurl.Signed and Flurl.Http.Signed via the NuGet package manager;
  3. Updated all package dependencies.

Upon building and running the web application, an error occurred:

Could not load file or assembly ‘System.Net.Http, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a’ or one of its dependencies. The located assembly’s manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Here’s the source error:

Line 21: new { controller = “Help”, action = “Index”, apiId = UrlParameter.Optional });
Line 22:
Line 23: HelpPageConfig.Register(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
Line 24: }
Line 25: }

And the full stack trace:

 

[FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly ‘System.Net.Http, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a’ or one of its dependencies. The located assembly’s manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)]

System.Web.HttpRuntime.EnsureFirstRequestInit(HttpContext context) +89
System.Web.HttpRuntime.ProcessRequestNotificationPrivate(IIS7WorkerRequest wr, HttpContext context) +188

After creating a few dummy projects and testing, I determined the adding references to Flurl.Signed / Flurl.Http.Signed and updating packages using the NuGet package manager added the following dependent assembly in the Web.Config file:

<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name=”System.Net.Http” publicKeyToken=”b03f5f7f11d50a3a” culture=”neutral” />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion=”0.0.0.0-4.1.0.0″ newVersion=”4.1.0.0″ />
</dependentAssembly>

I understand what’s going on but not how to fix the dependency reference. I did find however that simply removing or commenting out the dependent assembly reference to “System.Net.Http” resolved the issue (at least presumably until another NuGet update is made).

Since I did not have this issue prior to updating Visual Studio 2017 from 15.5.1 to 15.5.2 last week, I’m making an educated guess that was the cause.

(more to come…)

Useful HTTP Response Headers for IIS and ArcGIS JavaScript Web Applications

•February 6, 2017 • Leave a Comment

This is in addition to a question I answered on Stack Overflow where someone had asked how to turn off IE compatibility mode (hint: set “X-UA-Compatible” to “IE=edge”).

These additional response headers are useful in making ArcGIS Server REST endpoints accessible across sites without adding XSS vulnerability.

Useful HTTP Response Headers for IIS and ArcGIS JavaScript Web Applications
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials true
Access-Control-Allow-Headers Origin,X-Requested-With,Content-Type,Accept
Access-Control-Allow-Methods GET,PUT,POST,DELETE,OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Origin *
X-UA-Compatible IE=edge
