Add Custom HTTP Request Headers

[Jay]

We are using the Silverlight Upload component against a custom handler which implements RadUploadHandler within an ASP.net application.  Our web application uses 3^rd party single sign on authentication mechanism which requires a custom header when sending requests to the ASP.net app.   Is there any way I can access the HTTP Request object the Uploader component uses when posting to the RadUploadHandler?

Thank you.

Hello Jay,

 In your "CustomUploadHandler" which inherits from RadUploadHandler you are able to use the Request property. The full list of methods and properties of the RadUploadHandler class is available in this help article:
RadUpload- Features - Upload Handler
Please let us know if you need further assistance.

All the best,

I need to add cookies to the request object from the Silverlight side, not the asp.net handler.  How do I access the request object your Silverlight Upload component uses?

Hi Jay,

The RadUpload control doesn't expose the request in its client-side API as it makes the request internally. However, you can examine the mechanisms for passing parameters from the client to the server side of the RadUpload to see if they can help you implement your scenario.
