I'm trying to make a solution like in HttpModule with ASP.NET MVC not being called
How do I filter the request? I only want to open an ISession if the request is for an ASP.NET MVC action, not for *.gif, *.css, etc.
How should I handle this filtering?
Sessions are very cheap to create, I wouldn't bother with this filter.
Literally, opening a ISession is just a matter of a new SessionImpl(..). SessionImpl constructor and dispose don't do much if nothing happened in the session.
You could add the managedHandler precondition to your module. But I don't know how well it'll fit in with ASP.NET MVC because of static files passing though routing.
Anyway, you could try something like:
<add name="RequestTimer" type="MySite.HttpModule.RequestTimeModule, MySite" precondition="managedHandler" />
Have a look here for more information - IIS7 Preconditions

You can use this:
void IHttpModule.Init(HttpApplication context)
{
context.PreRequestHandlerExecute += new System.EventHandler(context_PreRequestHandlerExecute);
}
And then you can check if it is the MVC handler (type MvcHandler) which will execute your request:
void context_PreRequestHandlerExecute(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
HttpContext context = ((HttpApplication)sender).Context;
Type mvcht = typeof(System.Web.Mvc.MvcHandler);
if (context.Handler != null && context.Handler.GetType().IsAssignableFrom(mvcht))
{
..... Code goes here.
}
}
