We have an .NET 1.1 application running on 4 2K3 load balanced servers
(using WLBS). IIS has the .NET aspnet_isapi.dll mapped as a wildcard
application map. The web.config points *.html to a HttpHandler of our
design. This setup serves over a million page views daily with almost no
hassle whatsoever. We have brought a few affiliates onto our system who
have URLs still floating in Google, Y! and other search engines from before
they moved their domains onto our system. Some of these URLs contain the
tilde character (~) in them. Any time someone finds one of their sites in a
search engine and clicks it, they are presented with an ugly HTTP 500 error.
The error is "Invalid file name for monitoring:
'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\siteroot\~subfolder'. File names for monitoring must
have absolute paths, and no wildcards."
Does anyone have any insight as to why this is happening? We don't actually
have any physical subdirectories other than /bin and any other subfolder
requests are handled just fine, say oursite.com/test/index.html... that one
works just fine, we don't get any monitoring errors, even though /test/
doesn't really exist.
Thanks for any insight you may be able to provide,
