http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38436 Summary: Handlers for nonexistant files don't get called, 404 error instead Product: Apache mod_aspdotnet Version: 2.0.0 Platform: Other OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: trivial Priority: P4 Component: mod_aspdotnet AssignedTo: cli-dev@httpd.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Under Cassini, under the ASP.NET WebDev server, and in the documentation (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/ms228090.aspx), if a handler is registered for a path in ASP.NET, the handler is called for that path regardless of whether or not a physical file exists in that location. Specifically, "The response is created dynamically by the handler; there is no need for a file with the file name extension .sample to exist." Under mod_aspdotnet, requests to nonexistant files return an error 404, and the handler does not get called. The server logs an event "mod_aspdotnet: File not found or unable to stat: <physical/path/to/non-ex/file>". The application I developed required a single "file" to operate (it derived commands from the path info and all commands accepted a wildcard filename "~.cdl"), so to work around this difficulty I created an empty file with the correct name and put it where mod_aspdotnet was looking for one, and my handler ran correctly. However, for applications that use many nonexistant "files", this could become unfeasable. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
