fails in MVC Preview 2 when applying to AccountController.LogOn

When trying to apply [RequireHttps] to AccountController.Logon in ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 I get the following error :

ASP.NET detected invalid characters in the URL.

This is because ASP.NET has rewritten my request from

http://example.com/admin to

https://example.com/account/logon%3FReturnUrl=/admin

It is ASP.NET itself that has added ReturnURL (not ASP.NET MVC), but it is the RequireHttps attribute that is redirecting and messing up the URL.

The %3F instead of ? is breaking the page.

I think its technically a bug in ASP.NET. Is there a workaround? I'm thinking maybe a way to handle the 'unauthenticated' event in global.asax - or possibly just fixing the source for RequireHttpsAttribute.

    [RequireHttps]
    public ActionResult LogOn()
    {
        return View(DefaultModel);
    }

    <authentication mode="Forms">
       <forms loginUrl="~/account/logon"/>
    </authentication>

Here's a similar, but different question

Edit: I just tried manually entering in http://example.com/accout/login?cat=dog and it still redirected to an invalid URL : account/logon%3Fcat=dog. I originally thought it was related to a conflict between the membership provider and [RequireHttps] bu开发者_开发百科t it looks like just a basic bug so I think I'll have to just fix the source myself.

Assuming this is a temporary bug in ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 this is what I did :

• Created RequireHttps2 class

• Applied the [RequireHttps2] attribute instead of [RequireHttps]

  public class RequireHttps2Attribute : FilterAttribute, IAuthorizationFilter {

  public virtual void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
  {
      if (filterContext == null)
      {
          throw new ArgumentNullException("filterContext");
      }
  
      if (!filterContext.HttpContext.Request.IsSecureConnection)
      {
          HandleNonHttpsRequest(filterContext);
      }
  }
  
  protected virtual void HandleNonHttpsRequest(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
  {
      // only redirect for GET requests, otherwise the browser might not propagate the verb and request
      // body correctly.
  
      if (!String.Equals(filterContext.HttpContext.Request.HttpMethod, "GET", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
      {
          throw new InvalidOperationException("MUST USE SSL");
      }
  
      // redirect to HTTPS version of page
      UriBuilder builder = new UriBuilder()
      {
          Scheme = "https",
          Host = filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.Host,
          Path = filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Path,
          Query = filterContext.HttpContext.Request.QueryString.ToString()
  
          // ORIGINAL CODE : Path = filterContext.HttpContext.Request.RawUrl // use RawUrl since it works with URL rewriting
  
      };
  
      string url = builder.ToString();
      filterContext.Result = new RedirectResult(url);
  }
  

  }

This appears fixed in ASP.NET MVC2 RC.

 /admin 

now gets rewritten to the correct URL:

 /account/logon?ReturnUrl=/admin
