IHttpHandler Path

[Guest]

I'm attempting to create my first HttpHandler but there seems to be a problem.

The handler works fine for the root directory and all sub directories.

That is.
http://localhost/handlerexample/
and
http://localhost/handlerexample/testdir

Works fine even if the directory does not exist.

My problem is with:
http://localhost/handlerexample

Note the / at the end is missing.

When I enter this path the application tries to do directory browsing.
and since this is not allocated in IIS for the Virtual a Security Exception
is raised.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks

This is an aspect of IIS and you can't really get it work work unless you
write an ISAPI filter, which isn't a lot of fun.

Do you have a default document set and does it exist? I think (guess
would be more accurate..) the HttpHandler pipeline will only work with
a document.. either requested explicitly by the client or via the
serving of a default document. If there is no document to serve, then
standard http protocol would be used.. ie there is no default document
and you cannot browse.
