Dear all,
    I want to arrange a situation such that a given path goes to a given http
handler, and all its subdirectories, for example

http://myserver/index.html -> goes to normal file
http://myserver/whatever.aspx -> handled as ASPX file
http://myserver/htest/x -> Goes to handler
http://myserver/htest/x/y/z/anything/else/at/all -> also goes to handler

I have succeeded in making http://myserver/htest/anything go to the handler,
however if there is a further slash, for instance has
http://myserver/htest/x/y, then the handler isn't invoked.

I have the following in my web.config, which works for the cases above, but
not others:

<add verb="*" path="htest/*" type="HandlerTest.MarksHandler,HandlerTest"/>

Has anyone done this before? Is there a way that I can say "and all
subdirectories" in the web.config?

Cheers
    Mark

Hi Mark,

The current problem I see with HttpHandlers is that they don't handle
everything, only whatever is registered as using the .NET ISAPI
extension. They have an ISAPI filter but from what I could tell, its
simply useless. I wonder why its added as an ISAPI filter considering it
doesn't behave like one. But them again, maybe I'm missing something or
there is something I don't understand.
