  Can you try putting the handler in the root of the website?

   

  That didn't work either.  I think it might have something to do with the Dependency Injection I'm using. 

  I'll keep looking.  I'm determined to figure this out!  [:)]

  Thanks.

  FYI:

  I had this same problem and just solved it by adding an IgnoreRoute:

  public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
  
  
  {
  
  
           routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
  
  
           routes.IgnoreRoute("Custom.sfx");
  
  
  }

  Provided classic/integration httpHandlers/handlers is setup properly and no authentication is blocking you it should be good to go.

  I was up against this problem last night, and here is how I solved it

  I added this to my Global.asax file, before I defined my routes :

  routes.IgnoreRoute("{filename}.ashx");

  
  

  I added this to my <httpHandlers> node in my web config:

  <add verb="*" path="*ImgHandler.ashx" type="AMSignsUI.Views.Shared.ImgHandler, AMSignsUI"/>

  where : AMSignsUI.Views.Shared = the namespace in which I created the handler

  and AMSignsUI = my application/project name

  I added this to my <handlers> node in <system.webServer>

  <add name="ImgHandler" path="*ImgHandler.ashx" verb="*" type="AMSignsUI.Views.Shared.ImgHandler, AMSignsUI"/>

  
  

  Everything worked fine after I completed these steps. Note, the last step applies only if you are using IIS7
  

  Have a smile :)
