Question

I made a custom handler for test purposes, which looks like:

namespace MVCHttpHandlerProject
{
    public class SomeHandler : IHttpHandler
    {
        public bool IsReusable
        {
            get { return true; }
        }

        public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
        {
            context.Response.Write("SomeHandler test");
        }
    }
}

Then I added to my web.config next lines:

<httpHandlers>
<add path="SomeHandler.axd" verb="*" type="MVCHttpHandlerProject.SomeHandler, MVCHttpHandlerProject" /></httpHandlers>

and in <system.webServer>

<handlers>
<add path="SomeHandler.axd" verb="*" type="MVCHttpHandlerProject.SomeHandler, MVCHttpHandlerProject" name="SomeHandler.axd"/>
</handlers>

My Global.asax.cs was not modified and looks exactly as when it was generated with routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); in RegisterRoutes method.

Still, when I try to get to “http://localhost/Home/SomeHandler.axd”, “The resource cannot be found” error occurs. Why? Did I miss something? How should I fix this?

You should be requesting http://localhost/SomeHandler.axd instead of http://localhost/Home/SomeHandler.axd. There’s no Home.
