WebAPI.RequireHttps

WebAPI.RequireHttps provides a custom action attribute using ActionFilterAttribute, to allow HTTPS connection based on configuration.

Acknowledgement

This library is based on the article, Working with SSL in Web API.

Getting Started

WebAPI.RequireHttps is a custom action filter attribute, therefore, it should be used for either Web API controllers or individual actions.

Controller Level Definition

[RequireHttps(RequireHttpsConfigurationSettingsProviderType =
                  typeof(RequireHttpsConfigurationSettingsProvider))]
public class SampleApiController : ApiController
{
    ...
}

Action Level Definition

public class SampleApiController : ApiController
{
    [RequireHttps(RequireHttpsConfigurationSettingsProviderType =
                      typeof(RequireHttpsConfigurationSettingsProvider))]
    public HttpResponseMessage Get()
    {
        ...
    }
}

Configuration

In order to configure the RequireHttpsAttribute instance, Web.config should be considered.

<applicationSettings>
    <Aliencube.WebApi.RequireHttps.Properties.Settings>
        <setting name="BypassHttps" serializeAs="String">
            <value>False</value>
        </setting>
        <setting name="ApplicationServiceProviders" serializeAs="String">
            <value />
        </setting>
    </Aliencube.WebApi.RequireHttps.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>

• BypassHttps: If it is set to true, the RequireHttpsAttribute instance assumes the request is over HTTPS connection. Default value is false.
• ApplicationServiceProviders: In case that additional check based on application service provider is required, this should be defined. Currently (version 1.5.0.0), this value can be either, Default or AppHarbor. Default value is nil.
