  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Web.Util
Assemblies:
System.Web.dll, System.Web.Services.dll

Provides encoding and decoding logic.

Public Class HttpEncoder

Derived

Remarks

The class contains encoding and decoding logic that is used by methods in classes such as HttpUtility, HttpServerUtility, and HttpResponseHeader.

You can inherit from the HttpEncoder class and override its behavior to customize the default encoding and decoding behavior of ASP.NET. You then set the EncoderType property of the HttpRuntimeSection class to configure your custom class.

A custom class for encoding and decoding that derives from HttpEncoder can override the built-in ASP.NET encoding and decoding behavior or change only selected aspects of it.

You can configure the custom encoding type for in ASP.NET to replace or supplement the following encoding behavior:

  • HTML encoding

  • HTML attribute encoding

  • URL encoding

  • URL path encoding

  • HTTP header name and header value encoding

By default, ASP.NET applications are configured to use the AntiXssEncoder type for all output encoding.

The following example from an application-level Web.config file shows how the AntiXssEncoder type is set for an ASP.NET application:

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="4.5" encoderType="System.Web.Security.AntiXss.AntiXssEncoder, System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>

The configuration setting in the example sets the AntiXssEncoder class to perform all output encoding in the application. For more information, see the AntiXssEncoder class overview.

Notes to Inheritors

When you create a custom encoder class and override the base methods of the base class, the derived encoder might throw an exception from any of the overridden methods. However, in the following cases throwing such an exception could lead to unexpected behavior in ASP.NET:

  • If ASP.NET is rendering an error page that is caused by an unhandled exception that was thrown from a custom encoder, ASP.NET does not attempt to encode its error output by calling into the custom encoder. This avoids recursive error conditions.

  • When ASP.NET is sending HTTP headers to IIS, ASP.NET has no provision for unhandled exceptions. Therefore, the standard ASP.NET error page will be rendered (if configuration settings allows this page to be displayed).
