ASP.NET

Using HTTPS and httpWebRequest

by

I am sending httpwebrequests to the paypal api server and this uses https. I did the normal things that you normally do with http requests, and it worked. Do I need to do anything special to properly use https, or is specifying https in the request URL enaugh to make it work?

Does static reference to HttpContext.Current.Session return same session for all users?

by

Is there room for issue in the following code in terms of multiple users of the same web application? I mean, I know that a purely static string will be shared across all sessions for a single ASP.NET application, but given that this explicitly refers to the Current.Session, even though it is static it seems like it would always refer to the session instance of the “current user.”

Using @font-face with ABCPDF? Or other way of getting fonts into PDF?

by

We have a large application successfully using ABCPDF.NET with HTML Styled text. We’re accustomed to adding text using fonts not installed in Windows, but stored in files elsewhere in the filesystem — we do this so each user can upload their own fonts and use them with the output. We use the AddFont call to embed the font in the Doc, then reference the font in a tag for HTML Styled text with the AddText call.
