cookieless Session and httpHandler configuration

[Michael Schwarz]

Hi,

I have a own HttpHandler running and configured like this in my web.config:

<add verb="*" path="subfolder/*.ashx" type="Class,Assembly"/>

Now, when turning cookieless Sessions on my HttpHandler is not working,
instead my second HttpHandler is invoked, which is configured for *.ashx
files.

How can I get the first one running if cookieless Sessions are enabled?

Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Welcome to the ASP.NET newsgroup.

From your description, you're configuring a custom httphandler to process
the requests to a given extension in a sub directory in the application.
However, you found the handler not work when the application is using
cookieless session(uri based) ,correct?

Based on my experience, for configuring httphandler for sub directory, we
should use a web.config in that certain sub dir or the <location>
configuration element rather than embeded the directory path into the
httphandler path. for example:

the following web.config use a <location> element to configure the
httphandler to serve requests to that sub dir:

===============
<configuration>
..............

<location path="Navigation">
<system.web>
<httpHandlers >
<add verb="*" path="Report.ashx" type="ReportHandler, __code"/>
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
</location>
</configuration>

Here is the detailed description on using the <location> element to perform
hierarchical configuration:
