  httpModule in Web Application Project not being called

  Mar 18, 2021 07:21 PM|ojm37|LINK

  I'm working on moving our website project to a web application project and have run into a problem with httpModule.

  I cannot get an httpModule to be run when running the compiled web application project in IIS. When I run it in IIS Express in Visual Studio (2019 16.9.2), it is called. But when I change to Local IIS, the httpModule init method is never called.

  To duplicate:

  1. Create a new Visual Studio project
  2. ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework) template
  3. Project Name: ModuleTest, place solution and project in the same directory
  4. Create
  5. Web Froms and Web API
  6. Create
  7. Add new folder: AppCode
  8. Add new subfolder httpModule
  9. Add new item in httpModule subfolder
  10. select ASP.NET Module
  11. Name: TestModule.cs
  12. Add
  13. Put a breakpoint on line 24 (context.LogRequest += new EventHandler(OnLogRequest);)
  14. Add the following code to the web.config file just before the </system.webServer> closing tag:

  ```
       <modules>
          <add name="TestModule" type=" ModuleTest.AppCode.httpModule.TestModule"/>
       </modules>
  ```

  • Run the debugger and note that the debugger stops in the httpModule at the breakpoint.
  • Now, change the debug setting to use Local IIS (instead of IIS Express)
  • Create Virtual Directory
  • Verify that the virtual directory/application is using an integrated application pool
  • Run the debugger and note that the debugger DOES NOT stop in the httpModule at the breakpoint.

  How do I get the httpModule to execute in the Local IIS context?
