Hi Just a simple clarification, which I could't manage to fine while googling, can we configure a HttpHandler to handle any type of url, includinf the once without any files attached at the end just like http://mysever/testsite/ and any file extension when the file is not existing? Thanks in advance wpw

It's possible.

Thanks lot, that is a good one, I think the point is the following part in web.config file and which redirects all the .aspx files.

<httpHandlers>
    <add verb="*" 
         path="*.aspx" 
         type="PageBuilder, AssemblyName"/>
</httpHandlers>

This works fine with files with known extension, but it does not work when I put the wildcard as below;

<httpHandlers>
    <add verb="*" 
         path="*.*" 
         type="PageBuilder, AssemblyName"/>
</httpHandlers>
 
I might be doing something definitly wrong here but I still could;t find it
 
 

If you refer to part 2 of that article, you'll see that the wildcard mapping needs to occur at the IIS level.  This is necessary to direct all requests (regardless of their extension) to aspnet_isapi.dll.
