Happy 15th Birthday .NET

Today marks the 15th anniversary since .NET debuted to the world. On February 13th, 2002, the first version of .NET was released as part of Visual Studio.NET. It seems just like yesterday when Microsoft was building its “Next Generation Windows Services” and unleashed a new level of productivity with Visual Studio.NET.
Since the beginning, the .NET platform has allowed developers to quickly build and deploy robust applications, starting with Windows desktop and web server applications in 2002. You got an entire managed framework for building distributed Windows applications, ASP.NET was introduced as the next generation Active Server Pages for web-based development, and a new language, C# (pronounced “see sharp” :-)) came to be.
Over the years, .NET and it’s ecosystem has grown and expanded to meet the needs of all kinds of developers and platforms. As the technology landscape has changed, so has .NET. You can build anything with .NET including cross-platform web apps, cloud services, mobile device apps, games and so much more. We have a vibrant open-source community where you can participate in the direction of .NET.
With the release of Visual Studio 2017 coming on March 7th and Visual Studio’s 20th anniversary, .NET Core tools reach 1.0. Tune in March 7th and watch the keynote and live Q&A panels. A few nights ago we got together with the Microsoft Alumni Network and threw a big .NET birthday bash with former .NET team members & rock stars.

IPv4 header to requests when a client is using IPv6

  What is Pseudo IPv4? As a stopgap to accelerate the adoption of IPv6, Cloudflare offers Pseudo IPv4 which supports IPv6 addresses in legacy applications expecting IPv4 addresses. The goal is to provide a nearly unique IPv4 address for each IPv6 address, using Class E IPv4 address space, which is designated as experimental and would not normally see traffic. To learn more see  here . Options Add header:  Add additional Cf-Pseudo-IPv4 header only Overwrite headers:  Overwrite the existing Cf-Connecting-IP and X-Forwarded-For headers with a pseudo IPv4 address Cloudflare

IIS 7 Tip # 5 Run a command when Rapid Fail Protection is triggered

Rapid-Fail Protection disables application pools if they crash multiple times within in a specified time period. This prevents the failing application pool from getting into a continuous loop of crashing and restarting. This protects other application pools running on the server as repeated failures can consume lot of system resources. When rapid-fail protection kicks in it stops the application pool that is repeatedly crashing and your clients will start getting a 503 – Service Unavailable error. An administrator will have to manually enable the application pool again. You also have to option to configure an executable to run when ever rapid-fail protection is triggered. For example below I have configured the application pool to restart the IIS service using iisreset.exe … the /rebootonerror will reboot the whole server if iisreset.exe for some reason fails to restart the services.

SSL Certificates without Non-FQDNs- Fully Qualified Domain Name

Over the years, publicly-trusted CAs have issued SSL certificates with domain names of different types. The most common is the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). This is a certificate that has been issued with a name registered with an entity that manages a top-level domain (TLD), for example server1.domain.com. The differentiating characteristic about an FQDN is that it is unique . There is one controller of domain.com and that controller determines who can have any name under that root, such as server1.domain.com. Along the way, public CAs also issued certificates with non-FQDNs, such as: Server host name only, for example: server1 Server name with non-managed TLD, for example: server1.domain.local (In this example, local is not a TLD per ICANN.) Reserved IP addresses (In this case, the IP address cannot be registered, see IPv4 and IPv6.) Many SSL certificates have been issued that contain non-unique domain identifiers. Correspondingly, there are many security risks w...
