Question

In ASP.NET 4.0 with IIS7, I created a HttpHandler and registered it in web.config

<add name="MyHandler" path="MyPath/*" verb="*" type="MyProject.MyHandler, MyHandler" />

Here, what I try to achieve is to handle all the file requests to http://my-server/MyPath/*, but with such settings the requests to http://my-server/SubFolder/MyPath/* will also be handled, not what I want.

Is the absolute path the only way I can use to guarantee first level folder match?

Any other better idea?

You can use location element for this

<location path="MyPath">
  <system.webServer>
     <handlers>
      <add name="MyHandler" path="MyPath/*" verb="*" type="MyProject.MyHandler, MyHandler"/>
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>
</location>
