RateLimit 1.0.1

Author: Khoi Tran

Package: RateLimit

The lightweight .NET Framework package provides a middleware service to protect your application by limiting the request rate. If an IpAddress contains the number of requests which cross over the MaxRequestPerPeriod, it will be blocked by returning a TooManyRequest(429) (config by BlockMessage) within the blocking time (config by BlockTimeSecond)

Installation

nuget install RateLimit

Usage

• Global.asax.cs: regis global default RateLimit configuration

/// ...
using RateLimit; // use RateLimit package
using RateLimit.Configs;  // use RateLimit package configuration

namespace WebMVC
{
    public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
    {
        protected void Application_Start()
        {
            /// ...
            
            /* 
             * Default configuration using HttpRuntime (Memory cache and Redis are support too)
             * Expand the RedisConfig, MemoryConfig or HttpRuntimeConfig to see more 
             */
            RateLimitContext.RegisterConfig();
        }
    }
}

• ExampleController.cs: config RateLimitAttribute for GetReport action

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using RateLimit; // use RateLimit package

namespace WebMVC.Controllers
{
    public class ExampleController : Controller
    {
        /* Config for every request come to this action */
        [RateLimit(PeriodTime = 10, MaxRequestPerPeriod = 1, BlockTime = 10, BlockMessage = "You are making too many request")]
        public string GetReport(string param1)
        {
            return param1;
        }
    }
}

Advance

• Global.asax.cs: custom regis global default RateLimit configuration

/// ...
using RateLimit; // use RateLimit package
using RateLimit.Configs;  // use RateLimit package configuration

namespace WebMVC
{
    public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
    {
        protected void Application_Start()
        {
            /// ...
            /// ...
            
            /* Full global config */ 
            RateLimitContext.RegisterConfig(
                new RateLimitConfig(
                    /* Global config for request rate */
                    rateConfig: new RequestRateConfig
                    {
                        BlockMessage = "You are making too many request, please try after 60 second",
                        BlockTime = 60,
                        CookieName = "ASP.NET_SessionId",
                        MaxRequestPerPeriod = 1,
                        PeriodTime = 10
                    },
                    /* Cache config, default is new HttpRuntimeConfig() */
                    cacheConfig: new RedisConfig()
                    {
                        CacheTimeSecond = 3600,
                        ConnectTimeoutSecond = 5,
                        DatabaseIndex = 0,
                        EndPoints = "localhost:6379"
                    }
                )
            );

• ExampleController.cs: Use default global rate configuration

/// ...

namespace WebMVC.Controllers
{
    public class ExampleController : Controller
    {
        /* Use default global rate configuration */
        [RateLimit]
