Hi; Thanks for the reply.
This type of matching breaks at least every JSF Netbeans (5.x/6.x) App and maybe others. We have no choice now than patching the isapi_redirector. Also i thought that Tomcat protects those dirs ? or is this not the case if access is via ajp13 ? hb -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Rainer Jung [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 21.

A context path can be multiple-directories, so since we don't know what's exactly deployed in the backend, we need to secure all possible WEB-INF and META-INF directories. Best would be to not use those names for normal content directories. Not only because your isapi redirector problem, but also because admins might misinterprete the directories. If the stuff in the directories is static and you deploy it on IIS itself, you can use an exclusion mount for them. That way we don't find a worker, and for requests that don't get send to the backend, there is no such check. Be careful though, you don't want to expose your real META-INF resp.
