<httpmodule remove> tag not working

[Guest]

I have a .NET 2.0 application running on Windows 2003 Enterprise.

Root directory adds a custom http module.

<httpModules>
<add name="SitesModule" type="Classes.SitesModule"/>
</httpModules>

That works...

In a subdirectory I try and remove it

<httpModules>
<remove name="SitesModule" />
</httpModules>

Problem is it still gets called.

This was ok running on a Windows 2000 server. The code broke as soon as it
was moved to Windows 2003.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

It seems that the remove tag only works in context of it's own application space. Given this, you would need to make this directory a virtual application in IIS.

The alternative is to build in some sort of URL filtering into your module. This may or may not be practical depending on your application.
