Coronavirus and Our Priorities – Amir Nasiruddin Sayani

First few cases of Coronavirus got reported in Wuhan, city of China in the month of December 2019. China started taking immediate actions and closed down markets, different places and even lockdown cities to avoid further spread of virus. While China was fighting the war alone, world was enjoying amenities.

Pakistan reported first two cases of Coronavirus in last week of February. First patient was from Karachi and other one was from Islamabad. Both patients had recently returned from Iran. Pakistan registered its first death on 18-20 march.

Sindh was the first province who started taking stern steps to spread the virus. While other provinces and federal state was in denial state. Sindh started actions and closed down educational institution, stopped transportation and social gatherings.

People were expecting more from federal government to act promptly but they were nowhere in the scene initially. They could have stopped and installed proper screening in Baluchistan where pilgrims from Iran was returning to their families. Similarly they failed to influence Tablighi Jamaat not to gather in Raiwind. We cannot decide should we have Friday prayers at home or in mosques when UAE and KSA have already urge people to pray at home.

Pakistan must have announced lockdown much earlier like China and other countries have done to avoid the spread the virus but our elite were waiting for the situation to be worsened like Italy and other countries. Why we should we wait for the situation to be worsened to lockdown and stop the spread of virus.

Pakistan’s prime minister is having press conference every day to teach its citizens that what is more important to them rather nation expects him to take realistic actions and give proper plans about food distribution, utility bills relief and provide other medical equipment but they are more focusing on non-serious issue like construction industry package and targeting opposition. World is changing drastically every day where spread of virus is increasing exponentially.

USA, Germany, Russia, UK and many other NGOs are working hard to get vaccine to save humanity and get over with this pandemic.

It is never too take to set our priorities to overcome this crises and save our country. If we failed to ask people to stay home then we won’t be able to face this crisis. We have worst medical facilities in the country. Countries who have best medical facilities are failed to face cries since they didn’t take virus that important.

Let’s sit together with all provinces to make a comprehensive and collective plan to face this crises in larger interest of country. Let’s set a side political differences for a while. We will get change again to do politics.

May God save our country and world from pandemic and restore our daily lives.

You receive error 401.1 when you browse a Web site that uses Integrated Authentication and is hosted on IIS 5.1 or a later version

While Setting Windows Authentication in IIS we need to make following changes:

Click on Authentication -> Windows Authentication -> Providers

Move NTLM to up and Negotiate to down




It will work with localhost and IP, but it will not work with host name / domain name so you need to make following changes.

While Setting domain name / host name in Host file in URL we need to make following changes:

There are two methods to work around this issue, use one of the following methods, as appropriate for your situation.

Method 1: Specify host names (Preferred method if NTLM authentication is desired)

To specify the host names that are mapped to the loopback address and can connect to Web sites on your computer, follow these steps:

1.    Set the DisableStrictNameChecking registry entry to 1. For more information about how to do this, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

281308 Connecting to SMB share on a Windows 2000-based computer or a Windows Server 2003-based computer may not work with an alias name

2.    Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.

3.    In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0

4.    Right-click MSV1_0, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.

5.    Type BackConnectionHostNames, and then press ENTER.

6.    Right-click BackConnectionHostNames, and then click Modify.

7.    In the Value data box, type the host name or the host names for the sites that are on the local computer, and then click OK.

8.    Quit Registry Editor, and then restart the IISAdmin service.

Method 2: Disable the loopback check (less-recommended method)

The second method is to disable the loopback check by setting the DisableLoopbackCheck registry key.

To set the DisableLoopbackCheck registry key, follow these steps:

1.    Set the DisableStrictNameChecking registry entry to 1. For more information about how to do this, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

281308 Connecting to SMB share on a Windows 2000-based computer or a Windows Server 2003-based computer may not work with an alias name

2.    Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.

3.    In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

4.    Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.

5.    Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER.

6.    Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify.

7.    In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.

8.    Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.

using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

//The remote server returned an error: (417) Expectation Failed.
System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false;

            // Create a request using a URL that can receive a post.
            WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com/PostAccepter.aspx ");
            // Set the Method property of the request to POST.
            request.Method = "POST";
            // Create POST data and convert it to a byte array.
            string postData = "This is a test that posts this string to a Web server.";
            byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
            // Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.
            request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
            // Set the ContentLength property of the WebRequest.
            request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
            // Get the request stream.
            Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();
            // Write the data to the request stream.
            dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
            // Close the Stream object.
            dataStream.Close();
            // Get the response.
            WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
            // Display the status.
            Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
            // Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
            dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
            // Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
            // Read the content.
            string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
            // Display the content.
            Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer);
            // Clean up the streams.
            reader.Close();
            dataStream.Close();
            response.Close();
        }
    }
}

The remote server returned an error: (417) Expectation Failed.

Solution :::

System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false; (at first line)

add above line above WebRequest.......

// Create a request using a URL that can receive a post. 

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com/PostAccepter.aspx ");
