Where is GetFile.aspx page?

Hanh Dang asked on March 10, 2017 05:43

Hi all,

I have an issue about allowing public user to download file from media or not. In Kentico 9 or older, I can store conditions in session and write some custom code in GetFile.aspx.cs page to check it. But I cannot find that file in Kentico 10.

Does anyone know where is it or its replacement in Kentico 10?

kentico 10

Hi Hanh,

The GetFile.aspx.cs file has been removed in Kentico 10. Instead, a mapped handler is used to handle these requests. The implementation of the handler is in the CMS.DocumentEngine.GetAttachmentHandler class. However, you would need a source code license to be able to change its code.

Depending on your needs, you may create a handler for the RequestEvents.End.Execute event and implement your custom logic there. To check if the request is being processed by GetAttachmentHandler, you can use the following condition in the handler:

if(CMSHttpContext.Current.Handler is IGetAttachmentHandler) { do something }

I hope it helps!

Hi Pavel Jiřík,

 For some security reasons, we want to mask/change the filename of attachment by modifying the response header. Before version 10, we can implement custom code at GetFile.aspx.cs. But now, how can I implement the same logic?

Thanks & Regards, Louis Lei
